When planting succulent plants, the succulent plants simply planted in this soil are beautiful and strong.

Red jade is made from the accumulation of volcanic ash, but also the most widely used cultivation medium, it is a high permeability volcanic mud, yellow round particles, no harmful bacteria, its structure is conducive to water holding and drainage, the pH value of red jade soil is 6.9, is slightly acidic, but also contains silicon oxide, calcium oxide, iron oxide and other trace elements, which are very conducive to the growth of succulent plants.

Red jade soil in the succulent plant circle can be said to be the same reputation, if the cultivation of succulent plants do not understand red jade soil, then no matter how good the allocation of soil is in vain. In the early years, red jade soil was widely used, but now it has been gradually replaced by various cheap stones such as granular soil, volcanic stone and Maifan stone. Red jade soil used to be so famous that it had fake red jade soil, which is said to be easily crushed.

The greatest advantages of red jade soil are low fertilizer, slight acid, air permeability and water conservation. The above four items have almost met the physiological needs of most plants, while the physiological characteristics of succulent plants have almost achieved a perfect match. General beginner players in the use of red jade soil for succulent plant cultivation, do not need too much guidance, can raise well, its characteristics make the threshold of succulent plant cultivation greatly reduced, coupled with the price is not lower, so red jade soil can also be said to be an important factor to promote the rapid development of succulent plants in China.

Red jade soil is more suitable for succulent plants that have grown for several years and have well-developed roots. If it is a new seedling or the root system is not very developed, it is best to use most of the soil mixed with cinder, coconut shell and small particles, which can be mixed with some red jade soil, which is more nutritious and conducive to rooting. Or paving with red jade soil is also very good. The price of red jade soil is a little more expensive than that of other granular soils (such as Maifan stone), but whether the granular soil is cost-effective depends on its volume rather than its weight. In contrast, the proportion of red jade soil is lighter than that of Maifan stone and volcanic stone.

If it is a seed, it is best not to use pure red jade soil, it is not easy to germinate, coupled with the fact that it is summer, the temperature is very high, the budding rate is even lower, and it is easy to die, it is best to wait until autumn to sow. If it is planted, it is still possible to dry the bought plants in a cool place, then remove the beard roots and put the soil into more than half of the flowerpots. If the basin does not have a bottom hole, it is necessary to cover the water with large particles of stone, plant the plants, and then bury them with the soil.

Generally speaking, water should be watered less in summer, but the water should not be cut off, especially for rooting plants. Basically water it twice a month, so don't water it thoroughly. If there is something wrong with the plant within 2 weeks, you can dig it out to see if it has taken root. If it takes root, don't move any more, probably. And deer marsh soil is acidic (red jade weak acid), so unless it is some plants that like acid very much, it is not necessary to use deer marsh soil, it is mainly red jade soil.

When it is said that Chiyu soil is sterile, it is probably due to lack of nutrients, so it is not easy to mildew and grow green algae, but in the case of fertilization or other mixed soil with relatively high fertilizer content and stuffy and wet soil, Chiyu soil may be mildly moldy and grow green algae. However, the degree of light stone and blue stone will be lighter, a few days ago suddenly heated up, seedlings did not suffocate, but a few light stones directly changed hair ball.
