Succulent plants are also very popular in Taiwan. For those who like nature but cannot often go outdoors, most of them choose to grow green plants at home, especially succulent plants. Like us, they have gained a lot from the growth of beginners. Empty pots, flower friends in Taiwan also had such an experience, the total extinction of plants made him panic. After reading a lot of materials, he eventually became a succulent person, and shared ten little secrets about why succulent plants could not be raised alive. If you also have the experience of harvesting a large number of empty pots, or do not want to have such an experience, you can read this article to learn.

Succulent plants have healing effect, pressure overload on weekdays, spend 10 minutes tidying up, happy mood will come right away, for succulent maintenance, patience is the most important, if you are not familiar with it, you need to spend more time on research, especially succulent plants need special care in each season, and the varieties are poor, which is more difficult than imagined, but the three key points are sunlight, air and water, which are adjusted according to the situation and taken care of regularly. It's too hot in summer to look at the plants for at least two days.

Are No.1 succulent plants really easy to take care of?

In fact, looking at the species, at first I thought it was simple to plant, but as a result, I put away a lot of empty pots within a month, and then I gradually found that all kinds of varieties will change in different seasons. Sunshine, air and water should be adjusted according to the situation.

What does No.2 do to cause succulent death?

There are many ways for them to die, please refer to the following guidelines for succulent death:

1. Water it every day. (most of them grow up in difficult conditions and do not need to be overindulged.)

two。 Water in the middle of the day. (the water will heat up immediately and the basin will suffocate like a steam chamber.)

3. There is no hole in the pelvic floor. (because the root needs air circulation, which can speed up the flow of water.)

4. Summer. Especially in Taiwan in summer. It's so hot and humid that I clear out a lot of empty basins in summer.

5. Pests. (the most terrible is the powder beetle, which is often unable to be killed by the medicine. The powder on the body will take the medicine away and try to stab it with a needle.)

6. Germs. (it often happens that the sick jelly leaves fall on the topsoil and begin to rot and spread to the whole plant.)

What do you need to pay attention to when growing succulent plants in No.3?

1. After a long period of sunshine, succulent plants grow in a desert-like environment. If the sun is not strong enough, you will find that the distance of each leaf begins to lengthen, which is neither gorgeous nor lovely.

two。 Watering according to the variety, the amount of water seriously will not be finished, with my home environment (full sunshine, awning, fifth floor ventilation), autumn, winter and spring day and night temperature difference, near winter I will choose 1-2 weeks of watering, depending on the situation; less watering in summer, spring and autumn, about once a month a small amount of water will not be watered through, some varieties are easy to dry, need to occasionally spray or move to the sunshade area.

3. Planting medium is the most critical. If you want to raise succulent plants well, you must seriously explore this part. The environment, varieties and watering habits all have their own formulations. In my lazy matching method, large particles of coal coke are used in the bottom layer, medium-grain red jade soil mixed with medium-fine particle coal coke in the middle, and medium-grain red jade soil covered with topsoil. Every succulent store will sell special medium formula, which is still not suitable for environmental factors. It is recommended to buy a good medium as a middle layer, and the bottom layer is matched with a super hydrophobic medium to prevent itching and pouring the soil thoroughly so as not to make the roots rot. the topsoil had better be laid with monochromatic ruby, simple and good-looking.

How to take care of different succulent varieties of No.4?

1. Part of the cactus is placed in pots in summer and watered until thoroughly, because nutrients are needed during the growing season.

two。 Common sedum families should be careful of muggy heat, pay attention to whether there is enough sunshine, too much water, and low-sun notes make their necks a little ugly. During the cool season, a small amount of water is not watered excessively. In autumn, when there is a large temperature difference between day and night, some varieties will see the color turn red and dense leaves, which is the so-called succulent people's pursuit of beauty in the cool growing season. (we often see those cold climates in Japan and Europe, where succulent plants are mostly bright red and full.)

3. Liliaceae and Compositae children like to drink water. In summer, sprinklers are used to add water mist, otherwise it is easy to empty the basin.

4. Euphorbiaceae should pay special attention to, it is not difficult to maintain, their wounds will have white milk, as long as you touch it, you must wash your hands thoroughly or simply wear gloves. Once in treatment, your fingers touched the milk and washed your hands three times, but after rubbing your eyes, they immediately began to burn their eyes and burst into tears, and only stopped after emergency treatment. During the period, the eyes became red and painful. If they entered directly into the eyeball, they might go blind directly.

Is it okay for No.5 to keep succulent plants indoors?

It is not recommended to keep it indoors, which is usually muggy, water allocation is more difficult, if there is no sun will become strange.

Succulent plants recommended by No.6 to take care of?

The following succulent plants are recommended, obscure Moon (generally common to eat stone lotus, live casually, and no difference in wild release in the rain), White Ji Dance and Butterfly Dance (Typhoon comes without harvest, vitality is exuberant, fallen leaves will grow branches), Lace Princess and undead birds (known as succulent demons, with roots and pedigree, grow a bunch of children, fall in another basin and grow as usual. Accidentally occupy the whole garden), cactus (spring will bloom gorgeous flowers), jade affix series (like a waterfall green jade succulent, easy to burst), green bell, purple string moon (will grow like a waterfall, but also grow plum-flavored flowers).

Does No.7 succulent attract mosquitoes?

There are fewer mosquitoes, but if the soil is too dry, it will attract ants to build nests, the soil is too stuffy, and weather factors will attract shell insects. There are other aphids, spiders, caterpillars, centipedes, and so on. Unknown bugs are often found in plants. In addition to regular spraying, I am determined to sprinkle a bunch of pesticides directly. It is not recommended if there are children and pets at home.

No.8 succulent disease or withered a leaf how to do?

The withered leaves alone do not need to worry too much, the plant also needs to replace the old leaves to retain nutrients, as far as possible to keep its own leaves, semi-dry state and stem joints will grow new plants, plants are easy to grow. The jelly leaves become half-transparent and not dry, so pull them out immediately, check the stems or roots for blackening, see that they are immediately treated with clean scissors, remove the plant directly from the pot and put it in a cool and ventilated place for observation. If you encounter shell insects, kill them one by one immediately, and pay attention to whether there are any omissions in the leaves, then take off the basin and brush off all the soil with a toothbrush, soak in alcohol water to sterilize and disinfect.

How long does No.9 succulent need to be watered?

I am lazy. I water it once a week in the cool season (October-March). When it comes to rainy days or too strong sunshine, I will not water it. The muggy season (April to September) is watered once a month, but it should be thoroughly watered according to the situation, skipping the rainy season and occasionally spraying water mist.

Does No.10 need to change soil or add auxiliary fertilizer?

Most of the succulent plants bought in the ordinary flower market are accompanied by the culture soil, so you must remember to change the medium, because the culture soil is too full of water, centipedes are often found in it, and uncertain factors such as insect eggs and ant nests are often found in the foreign soil. It is recommended to buy and remember to take off the basin to brush the soil clean, leave it in a cool place to dry for a few days, let the wound heal and then grow to the new pot. My family succulent all grow up on rice washing water, simple and natural clean, but also can choose chemical fertilizer.

Tips for beginners

In addition to the plant itself, whether the pot is beautiful or not affects the vision of succulent growth and planting multi-pots, try to raise the height of the plants in the center and rear, creating a sense of hierarchy, and put some small plants embellished in front. Other around shorter but can be used as the protagonist planting will make the picture have a center of gravity, the combination of lines, proportion, direction, and variety collocation is very mysterious, try more, the photo will look better. Finally, don't let your family water you.
