Succulent plants have been raised for a long time, although the plants look relatively healthy, but by this time the root system has filled the whole flowerpot, which is not conducive to drainage and ventilation, and the soil nutrients have been lost, from the original granule to powder, and the soil is acidified. Therefore, when the plant grows to a certain stage, it must turn the pot and change the soil. The time to change the pot should be carried out when the dormancy period is coming to an end and the plant is about to grow. Tufted plants can also be propagated at the same time when changing pots. In addition, if it is found that the plant has rotten roots, you can change the basin rescuingly at any time, and the steps must be clear when changing the pot. Do not make these mistakes so that succulent plants can grow healthily.

Many flower friends go directly to the pot without trimming their roots. After the succulent plants are separated from the pot, some flower friends worry about injuring the roots and gently shake the soil at the roots and go directly to the pot. This is not conducive to succulent sprouting new roots, but also affects the recovery of succulent plants after changing pots. The soil of the succulent root should be cleaned up, the root system should be clearly exposed, the rotten root should be trimmed off, and then put on the basin. There are also flower friends who are too impatient. After trimming the roots, they are busy putting on the pot before waiting for the root wound to dry and repair, so it is easy to infect the wound. After trimming the root system, be sure to put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound and wait 2-3 days before potting it.

Newly bought succulent plants generally need to take pots, whether they are changed or not. Take the basin, serve the environment, not just the basin. Now that the living environment has changed, there must be a period of adaptation. The basin is very important to the growth of plants. Good service, rapid growth, poor service, it takes a long time, and even has been in a kind of maladjustment. Just like people's sub-health, they live or die for a long time. Try to create a suitable living environment for plants, including soil, light, gas, basin and so on. This requires us to have a certain understanding of the habits of plants and know when and what to do.

Different varieties of succulent plants are planted with different culture soil. coarse-grained soil should be placed at the bottom of the flowerpot, and then fine-grained soil should be placed at the bottom of the flowerpot to straighten the plant and lift the plant slightly to stretch the root system. Don't overfill the soil so that it can be watered later. After planting, gently "pier" the flowerpot on the ground to make the soil and roots combine closely. It is not necessary to water immediately after planting. Practice has proved that it is faster and better for plants to root in slightly wet soil. After that, some water is sprayed properly when the basin soil is dry, and it can be watered once after 7 to 10 days. Planted plants should be kept in bright light and no direct sunlight for maintenance.

The purpose of padding ceramsite at the bottom of the flowerpot is to prevent stagnant water and improve water permeability, which is usually suitable for larger flowerpots.

If it is a weak succulent plant seedling, then it needs more water and can be watered frequently and in small amounts to keep the soil a little moist. And try to put them in a warmer place, a more stable environment to grow. And adult succulent plants will be much more resistant, watering must be less, especially strong even a drop of water a month is not a problem. When watering the soil thoroughly, the moisture of the soil can be measured by inserting a toothpick into the soil or by the weight of the basin.
