1. Loose soilThe root system of succulents is not well developed, so they must be planted in loose and fertile soil. If the soil is too sticky, it will be detrimental to the breathing of the roots. Generally, you can use leaf mold and river sand to prepare potting soil, which can provide certain nutrients while also ensuring drainage. If conditions permit, you can also use peat soil combined with coconut coir, which is more suitable for the growth of succulents. 2. Sufficient lightMost succulents are native to tropical regions, so they are accustomed to environments with plenty of light. They should be placed in a sunny place to receive plenty of light. It should be noted that although the plant likes light, it is not resistant to high temperatures and exposure, so it needs proper shade in summer. It should be placed in a semi-shaded place and maintained with good ventilation, and it can see light in the morning and evening every day. 3. Water appropriatelyBecause of their fleshy stems or leaves, succulents can store a certain amount of water in their bodies. They are very drought-resistant and do not require much water. Don’t water too much during normal times. Generally, water the plant after the substrate is dry, and water it thoroughly each time. If you water too much, the roots will be too wet, which can easily affect their growth and may also cause them to rot. 4. Pay attention to fertilizationSucculents also need certain nutrients during their growth process, but their roots do not have a strong ability to absorb fertilizers, so there is no need to fertilize too frequently. Usually during its growing season, fertilizing once a month is sufficient. Choose fertilizers specially made for succulents, as they are less likely to cause fertilizer damage. In addition, the fertilizer should be fully diluted before application to reduce its concentration. |
