Common succulent plants how to grow family potted succulent culture methods and matters needing attention

Succulent plants are always inseparable from light, heat, moisture, temperature and soil. Therefore, no matter what kind of succulent plants we grow, we need to make different collocations and choices in these aspects. at the same time, there are many measures we can take for the health and beauty of succulent plants. Let's take a look at them together.

How to grow common succulent plants

1, plant cultivation, always inseparable from three points, water, medium, light, succulent is no exception. Light is more likely to affect the state of plant growth, belonging to the advanced class. But water and medium can directly affect the life and death of plants. There are many novice growers, when they first start to plant something, they always use some soil at will and water the plants with enthusiasm and care every day. And then... There's no such thing as...

2. The soil is loose and permeable, the drainage is good, but it has a certain water retention capacity, which is neutral or slightly acidic. There are many media suitable for succulent planting, but it is very important to be sterile. The direct cause of succulent death is often decay, and only one direct cause of plant decay is fungus infection. Succulent plants in the process of transplanting, if the medium itself carries a variety of bacteria, coupled with improper care in the later stage (such as frequent watering), it is easy to cause fungus infection.

3. Therefore, aseptic or sterilized should be chosen in the initial soil selection. There are two common ways of sterilization, one is the use of fungicides such as carbendazim. The other can be sterilized by high temperature. For example, someone has stir-fried in a pan and heard that someone has baked the soil in a microwave oven. Good media, good start.

4. the principle of watering is to see dry and wet, that is, if the soil is dry, it will be watered thoroughly. If it is difficult to judge whether the soil is dry or not, you can insert a toothpick in the soil. If you want to water it, you can see the degree of dryness and wetness of the toothpick. Dry and wet is a common term in flower planting, which means watering once, and then watering the second time when the soil is almost dry. its function is to prevent diseases and insect pests caused by excessive watering of rotten roots and moisture. Of course, there is no need to be so harsh, as long as it is not watered too frequently, it generally does not cause succulent death.

5. Succulent people like the sun very much, and they grow better with a certain amount of light. In fact, it is not difficult to grow succulent plants, in fact, as long as rough cultivation! Many novices raise succulent plants because they are watered too often.

Methods and matters needing attention of family pot succulent culture

First, about watering

Watering is the most frequent, most important and most important thing that reflects the level of cultivation, but the problem of watering is also the most difficult to explain. I have also read some books that raise succulent plants to teach you how to water. Draw 2 water droplets to indicate how often to water, and 3 water droplets to indicate how often to water. However, watering is closely related to the texture and size of the flowerpot, the variety and size of the plant, the composition of the plant material, and the local climate characteristics. It is difficult to generalize, or to explore slowly. Other flowers can generally be judged by looking at the dry and wet surface of the potted soil, but succulent plants are not. If the surface of the potted soil is watered as soon as it dries, the succulent plants will definitely hang up! Introduce a simple method called inserting a bamboo stick, insert a bamboo stick into the basin soil, often pull it out and have a look, you can know the dry and wet condition of the lower part of the basin soil more accurately.

There are two principles to be followed in watering:

1, the frequency of watering should be low, control hands, as little watering as possible, do not dry, watering thoroughly; many novice succulent plants that do not die of drought are waterlogged to death.

2. Do not water the succulent plants at noon, and do not pour water on the succulent leaves. It is easy to burn the leaves after exposure to the sun.

II. On fertilizers

It usually means that the bean dregs are cooked and poured with water. The residue of traditional Chinese medicine is a very good plant material, and the residue made by retting is not only fertile, but also loose and breathable, so it is especially suitable for planting fairy meat plants. This thing is very easy to find in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, but we must remember that the residue can not be used directly, it must be rotten. Eggshell is also a good plant material, washed and dried in the sun, then broken and mixed into the plant material to supplement the phosphorus of plant growth. Such as plant ash, carbonized rice husk and bone meal can be added to the plant material.

Third, bask in the sun and ventilation

No matter which type of succulent plant needs plenty of sunlight, its shape and color will be more beautiful, and it is easy to grow and fade without light. Many people raise succulent plants on airtight balconies, which are not ventilated enough, and it is easy for the roots to be impervious and the whole plant to rot in the humid and hot summer, so it is necessary to ensure ventilation.

IV. matters needing attention

Succulent plants are generally slow-growing plants, so we should wait patiently for them to grow up. Don't struggle with how not to grow as soon as they are planted, and fiddle with the lower roots to see if they are growing well. This is not good for succulent plants. Many people say that succulent plants can only be raised by lazy people. Leave it alone and occasionally pour it into the water, and suddenly one day you will find that it has grown so big.

What kind of plant materials and flowerpots should be used to grow succulent plants

If you are a novice in planting succulent plants, it is recommended to use grass carbon + coarse sand, grass carbon + perlite + vermiculite, grass carbon + red jade + sunny stone, garden soil + coarse sand, the proportion is not strict, as long as the plant material is loose and water permeability is good. With regard to flowerpots, plastic pots, porcelain pots, pottery pots, tile pots and even foam boxes, no matter what kind of pots are used, be sure to have water holes.

What about the excessive growth of succulent plants

First, after beheading to dry the wound, learn to cuttage by yourself. As long as the wound is dried, the other procedures are the same as those of the purchased plants; the second is to ignore it and let it grow into a very old plant. The long pole will slowly bend down, fall down, out the side branches, and then out the side branches.

The excessive growth of succulent plants seriously affects the appearance and health of succulent plants. At the same time, it is also a protest and warning issued by succulent plants to breeders. At this time, we need to take certain measures. Of course, development is also a way to deal with it. But we must make the right choice according to the situation.
