Breeding methods and precautions for female chicks

Soil selection for female chicks

Whenever we talk about succulents, the issue of soil preparation comes up. Only when the soil is chosen correctly will maintenance be easier. The soil for female chicks is usually made of one part each of peat, vermiculite and perlite, with an appropriate amount of bone meal added. It can also be mixed with 3 parts of leaf mold, 3 parts of river sand, 1 part of garden soil and 1 part of slag.

To make it even simpler, you can just buy special soil for succulents, mix it with some sand, disinfect it and you can use it.

How to water a young girl

Spring and autumn are the growing seasons for female chicks, and they must be given sufficient water. During the hot summer season, you should pay attention to water control. Just give a small amount of water and there is no need to water it thoroughly. When watering, be careful not to let water reach the center of the leaves when the sun is strong. As long as the temperature is controlled above 0℃, the owner can supply water, and the water supply will be cut off if it is below 0℃.

For watering, choose the warmer noontime in spring and winter, and the cooler afternoon or evening in summer. Avoid watering at random regardless of time.

Light requirements for female chicks

The female chick needs to receive sufficient light so that the plant will be compact and beautiful, and the red color of the leaves will be more obvious and more ornamental. You can try full-sun maintenance, and provide appropriate shade in midsummer.

How to slow down the growth of female chicks

Seedling acclimatization is a problem that everyone will encounter. How can we make the newly bought female chicks grow better? When you buy a new chick, plant it in moist soil. Place it in a bright and ventilated place for 1 to 2 weeks, then gradually increase the light and water it as appropriate during this period. Maintaining good ventilation can prevent the growth of bacteria and the occurrence of black rot.

Temperature requirements for female chicks

The most suitable temperature for the growth of female chicks is 15~25℃ (this is the case for most succulents), and the temperature in winter should not be lower than 5℃. It can be raised outdoors in the summer, but if the temperature is above 35℃, it should be moved to a place with bright scattered light and water should be gradually cut off. Water should be used sparingly during the entire dormant period, and breeding can be resumed after the temperature drops in mid-September.

Female chicks that have adapted to the environment can still grow normally in summer, and the dormancy phenomenon is not very obvious.
