Teach you to maintain the roots of succulent plants and simply plant succulent plants.

It is the consensus of flower friends that whether it is succulent plants or other plants, the root is always the most important place for the supply of all nutrients. The stout root system of an old pile that takes many years to grow must be incomparable to the succulent plant that has just taken root. So, if your family's succulent flowers are only a few months old, you don't have to think about stout roots. What you need to expect is a more developed root system, which looks like a shaggy beard at its best.

There is an important relationship between the watering amount of succulent plant and its root growth. When the root system of succulent plant is strong and watered, the succulent plant will grow crazily. When the root system is strong, but the watering water is small, it will grow toward hypertrophy. If the root system is relatively small, but the amount of water watered is relatively large, it first grows the root. If the root system is already weak and does not water frequently, succulent plants may have to enter a dormant state in order to survive. In fact, not only reasonable watering, suitable soil, regular fertilization and changing pots are all factors that make succulent roots strong.

In the environment of ventilation and low humidity, such as balcony and windowsill. Advocate the use of soil containing fibrous peat and water-retaining medium, do not remove dust, because these dust particles are the best attachment of root hairs, after removal, it is easy to cause root hairs to dry up, and plants can not grow well in the repeated rooting process of circulation.

Many flower friends used to think that the bigger the pot, the better the root system, it is true. However, in our specific cultivation process, it is often counterproductive, the larger the basin, the more likely to rot the root, the key still lies in water conservation, air permeability imbalance. At this time, in order to better meet our daily cultivation, we should choose a basin that matches the plant, and the safest way is to choose a basin that is a little bigger than the plant. For Vientiane and jade fans, a deep basin is necessary. if cultivated in a muggy environment, it is best to have holes in the basin wall or choose a basin with breathable materials, such as a sand basin.

When some flower friends plant those tall succulent plants, such as various wizards belonging to the lotus palm, in order to grow more safely, they often adopt the method of burying poles deeply, which is not a good habit. Burying deep poles will make the roots lose their original traction, and instead make the succulent roots weak and fragile. The correct way is to use external forces (such as copper wire) to fix the main root of the plant at the bottom of the flowerpot, and then use the fixed root system to hold the high rod, this pulling force is very beneficial to the growth of the root system.

Generally speaking, to the muggy environment, the bottom of the basin should be covered with large particles of permeable stone, and the surface of the soil should be covered with large particles of permeable red jade, while for the open environment such as ventilation balcony and windowsill, the bottom of the basin had better be separated by a layer of paper towels and do not put too much permeable material, otherwise the lower part of the basin is always very dry, just a lot of root hairs are in the lower part of the basin, and the surface of the basin soil should choose impermeable granular materials, such as pebbles. The core of this treatment is still to ensure the balance of moisturizing and air permeability and prolong the life of root hair.
