How to care for newly bought succulents

1. Check and prune the roots

Be sure to check the succulents you just bought to see if there are any bugs or other dirt in them. If there are pests, they must be removed immediately to prevent the invasion of pests. In addition, the withered leaves should be removed in time. If there are rotten roots, they need to be cut off and replanted after the wounds heal.

2. Suitable environment

Succulents need some time to adapt to the new environment. You can move them to a bright and ventilated place without direct sunlight for maintenance, which can help them adapt to the new environment faster.

3. Watering at the right time

Do not water the newly bought succulents immediately. Wait until they have passed the adaptation period before watering them. In other words, normal watering and maintenance can be resumed only when you see that the plant has not become soft or in other adverse conditions.

4. Postpone fertilization

Succulent plants have not yet adapted to the new environment. If you rush to apply fertilizer, the plants will not be able to fully absorb the fertilizer, which may easily cause root burn. You need to wait until the adaptation period is over before applying fertilizer.
