This thing is placed on the bottom of the succulent plant basin, which is breathable, water-retaining and fattening easily.

Sawdust can be used to grow flowers, but it should be used according to specific conditions, such as cutting, sawdust can play the role of moisturizing and breathable, for example, when used in Phalaenopsis planting, it can have an effect similar to water moss, but if it is potted flowers, it is not advisable to plant flowers directly with sawdust, which can easily lead to suffocation of plant roots, especially in hot weather, we need further treatment. And match with a certain proportion of the soil to use.

Since most succulent plants grow in tropical desert areas, where the soil is barren (mostly gravel and coarse sand) with only a small amount of soil and organic matter, such soil is extremely permeable and highly permeable, and if there is a lot of air permeability and water, it is easy to rot roots, and succulent plants do not need too much water to survive for a long time, so we should try our best to use the plant materials closest to their original ecological growth when planting. And sawdust is a good choice.

For succulent plants, sawdust has the function of loosening, permeating and retaining water, it also has the function of heat preservation, and has a good effect on the growth of plant roots. However, fresh sawdust can not be used to grow flowers directly. It needs to be ripened before it can be mixed into the soil. Pack the sawdust in a thick plastic bag and seal it with an appropriate amount of water, and then put it in the sun for a month or two. Generally, when the color turns black, it will be completely mature.

To put it simply, sprinkle the sawdust with water and tie it tightly in a plastic bag, then bask in the sun (accelerate ripening) and take it out. The reason for using the matured sawdust is that it will dissipate heat in the process of ripening, which will burn the roots of the plant. Purely for improving soil hardening, moisturizing, water conservation and other conditions can be added a little sawdust, but not retting.

If sawdust accompany soil becomes cultivated soil, it needs to be retted and rotted to improve humus. The operation method is simple, put into woven bag, irrigate with a little chicken manure water, or a little compound fertilizer or urea after melting water, pay attention to the need to moisturize frequently, throw it outdoors and use it for more than a year. Use fresh sawdust and mixed sawdust and soil.

Summer is a difficult season for succulent plants. During this period, there is more moisture in the air with higher humidity, and succulent plants can survive on the moisture in the air alone. Watering can be controlled. But if the plant is too small, it will dry up without water for 3 months, so you can judge by the condition of the leaves and choose to replenish water on a cool night. Succulent plants need to be ventilated in the room. Please try not to put them in an airtight room. If there is no problem with air conditioning in the room, but air conditioning will also increase pressure on plants, try not to put it directly to the air outlet of the air conditioner.
