Growing succulents is a hobby of many families. What are the technical points of growing succulents? Here to tell you about.
1. Temperature
Succulents generally prefer warmth and large day-night temperature differences.
2, the light should be sufficient and soft
Summer shade should be 50% to 70%. While epiphyllum and arrow lotus are both somewhat hardy, keeping succulents warm in the winter will help them bloom the following year. As a rootstock and cultivated in large quantities, the caliper is not cold-resistant, and it should be maintained at least 5 ℃ in winter and requires sufficient sunlight.
3. Soil
To grow plants well, the quality of the soil is very important. Succulent planting requires loose, breathable soil with good drainage, but with a certain water retention capacity, neutral or slightly acidic. Highland balls (Lunar World, Yuehuayu, Huyu) and Rock Peony can add a little husk ash and small-grained weathered rocks. Tall columnar species can be mixed with large grains of quartz sand to hold the plants in place.
4. Watering and fertilizing
To prevent pest infestation, both watering and fertilizing should be done effectively. Succulents should be watered according to their growing state. Whether winter dormant or summer dormant species, stop watering the pot during the dormant period. Fertilization for succulent planting is rather light and not heavy, and can be applied several times when needed. Those with damaged roots, poor growth, and wounds on stems and leaves are prohibited from fertilizing.
The above are the key points of the method of planting succulents, I hope to help everyone.
