Spring care for succulents

When to repot

Generally, in spring, April and May, the temperature reaches about 15℃, which is the vigorous growth period of the stems and leaves of succulents. After a year of growth, the root system of succulents has become relatively strong and fills the pot. The sprayed nutrients have been consumed. If the pots are not changed in time, the succulents will lack space and nutrients to continue growing.

When repotting every spring, you can remove all the soil at the roots that has been depleted of nutrients, become hardened, and has poor air and water permeability, and replace it with new potting soil. Then choose a suitable pot according to the size of the plant. To facilitate the subsequent growth of succulents. In addition, in conjunction with repotting, succulents should be properly pruned to maintain their beautiful plant shape.

Spring maintenance tips

During dormancy, succulent plants will mostly experience adverse phenomena such as leaf falling, wrinkling, and plant shrinkage.

Water and light

Therefore, water and sunlight are very important for succulents that have just awakened. Appropriately increasing the amount of watering, keeping the potting soil moist, and extending the lighting time to ensure sufficient sunlight can help succulents recover from a bad condition as soon as possible.

Climate and fertilization

However, the climate in most parts of my country in early spring is generally unstable, the temperature is often low, the sunlight is not strong, and the water consumption is not much, so it is better to water in the morning and evening. In addition, in order to facilitate nutrient reserves and current growth needs, you can apply fertilizer appropriately, generally once a month, or use special fertilizer for succulent potted flowers.
