Many meat lovers bring succulent plants home and think they have been carefully maintained for a long time, only to find that succulent plants have not changed at all, and even some of them will become smaller and smaller. Why? The reasons are as follows:

First, I dare not water it.

Many people think that succulent flesh does not like water, watering will die, so they do not dare to water. It is watered a little every time, only once every ten and a half days. So that succulent plants are in a state of lack of water for a long time, light succulent plants do not grow, serious lack of water will also lead to root damage and death of succulent plants. Succulent plants are prone to black rot or scale insects when they are in an environment of lack of water for a long time.

In fact, succulent plants do not like water, but are drought-tolerant, and water control is beneficial to the color and shape control of succulent plants, and too much watering will cause black rot and overgrowth of succulent plants. It is for this reason that it is generally believed that succulent plants do not like water.

Second, the soil is hardened and the water leaks.

Soil consolidation refers to the phenomenon that the soil surface hardens due to the lack of organic matter and cohesion after drying, which is not suitable for the growth of flowers, seedlings and crops. The basin soil is loose, watering can be unimpeded. The family has been planting for a long time, and because of the water quality, soil hardening is inevitable. Obviously a lot of water was watered, but it was not absorbed, affecting the growth of succulent plants. The consolidation of basin soil should generally be changed, and more particles should be added to the soil. In addition, the water used for watering flowers should be used in the sun for a few days.

Third, scale insects

Scale insects can be said to be the biggest natural enemies of succulent plants because of their high frequency, fast transmission and difficult to cure. Once succulent plants grow scale insects, it will affect the growth of succulent plants, so we should always observe whether succulent plants have scale insects.

Fourth, too much water has been poured before taking the basin.

After the bare-rooted succulent plant is planted, it takes a process to take the pot. At first, you can't water a lot of water. You need to wait for the succulent plants to grow new roots before you can water them normally. If the roots of succulent plants are soaked in water all the time if they are watered too much at the beginning, the new roots will never grow, let alone grow.
