The way for succulent plants to thrive is to add more soil to the root system.

In the process of succulent maintenance, succulent plants that need to be rooted can be added to the matrix with more particles, preferably up to 60% or 70%. In this way, the soil can pass through the water faster, it is not easy to accumulate water, and it is not easy to have rotten roots. another advantage is that the content of particles is high, so that the overall gap of the matrix is larger, which is conducive to the eyes and expansion of the root system. Often, the root system of such soil distribution is very strong and developed. When the root system and humidity are controlled, the aboveground part will naturally thrive.

Plants with growing points and leaves can root as long as the environment is suitable and time is enough, and gradually form intact roots, and decapitated plants without growing points had better retain their leaves, otherwise the roots will gradually shrink, and decapitated plants without growing points and leaves must not be cut off prematurely after the formation of new buds, and 1 or 2 buds should be properly retained to meet the life span of the roots in order to produce more seedlings.

Roots are important for plants, and so are succulent plants. When raising succulent plants, we need to pay attention to the maintenance of its roots, which is very important. Basically, if there is a problem with the succulent root system, there will be something wrong with the leaves and it is easy for the whole plant to have an accident. Problems such as yellowing, softening, dissolving water, black rot and so on emerge one after another, which are difficult to prevent. In the final analysis, there is something wrong with the root system.

How do succulent plant seedlings take root? It mainly refers to lateral buds, leaf root cuttings and tissue culture seedlings: lateral buds are the easiest to root, because they accumulate the largest amount of female parent auxin and are rich in nutrition, leaf root cuttings generally peel off and it is not difficult to take root. If you are not at ease, you can choose commercial rooting powder, touch the wound and then put it on the basin, generally you can reach 100% survival rate. Make sure it is dry before taking root to prevent decay. Ensure the humidity of the air after rooting to prevent the fresh roots from drying. Do not water frequently, but spray frequently. Moist air is more pleased with newly sprouted succulent plants than moist soil.

For young and weak seedlings, the principle of watering is a small number of times, keep the soil at a certain degree of 4 degrees, and place it in a place with relatively good environmental stability. As far as adult seedlings are concerned, because their leaves are rich in water content, they can be watered again for a long time, which does not affect their growth. The hardening period or imperfect tissue culture seedlings are the most difficult to take root, because many tissue culture seedlings can not be identified from appearance, if they are confirmed to be tissue culture seedlings, especially those that are not fully hardened, auxin solution must be sprayed in the later cultivation in order to make a smooth transition. But it is best not to buy unhardened tissue culture seedlings, hardened tissue culture seedlings do not have this problem.

Spring and autumn is the peak season for succulent growth, while giving enough water, thin fertilizer should be applied diligently. Foliar spraying is on the one hand, it can also strengthen the fertility of the substrate and promote rooting and strong seedlings by mixing organic fertilizer into the substrate. Succulent dormancy in summer, fertilizer can be given less. Don't expect to have a good root all the year round. This paragraph is about mentality. Cultivating a good root is a process, and the process is fluctuating. The best state of the plant can be seen during the growing period, and the root system is also the best state naturally. During the dormancy period, the ideal state is often not seen, and the root system is mainly maintained to prevent excessive dampness and heat from rotting the root.
