If you want succulent plants to take root quickly, add some of this to the soil to make sure it grows.

Succulent reproduction methods are mainly leaf insertion and beheading, generally speaking, we use more leaf insertion breeding method, decapitation breeding method is basically rarely used.

However, sometimes we have to carry out beheading rituals in order to make succulent plants more beautiful.

Beheading condition

The phenomenon of overgrowth is serious.

Root rot

The growth is not good

Treatment after beheading

Beheading method

Note: after beheading the succulent plant, do not rush to put it on the basin. The succulent wound has not yet healed. If the succulent wound is not healed immediately, the bacteria in the soil will infect the wound and cause succulent necrosis. After the succulent succulent is decapitated, it should be placed in the vent to dry the wound. Wait for the wound to heal thoroughly, and then put on the basin.

Soil

Commonly used nutrient soil

Soil selection on the basin: just choose the conventional cultivated soil, which is rich in nutrients, has good drainage and permeability (air permeability), can keep moisture and fertilizer, does not crack when dry, does not bond when wet, and does not crust after watering.

Commonly used nurturing soil:

Rotten leaf soil (or peat soil): garden soil: River sand: bone powder, ratio: 7, 6, 6, 1.

Or rotten leaf soil (or peat soil): plain noodle sand: mature organic fertilizer: calcium superphosphate, ratio: 10: 7: 7: 2: 1.

Whether the plant takes root or not is one of the criteria of whether the plant is in stock.

After beheading, some succulent roots grow.

After the succulent plants are beheaded and put on the basin, many fine roots will emerge from the decapitated parts after a period of time, and these roots will crisscross in the soil, and one of them will grow into a succulent taproot, providing nutrients for succulent growth.

Some meat friends react that their own meat takes root more slowly than snails, and it doesn't take root for ten days and a half months.

Q: what should I do in such a situation?

A: just add a little vermiculite.

Rooting artifact

Vermiculite, a natural, non-toxic mineral, has the ability of ion exchange. at high temperature, it expands rapidly. The water permeability and air permeability of vermiculite are very good. The breathable environment is beneficial to the growth of succulent plants and does not cause succulent plants to rot.

Vermiculite, moisturizing artifact

Although vermiculite is granular, it can not be attributed to granular soil, it can be understood as better water retention, its strong moisture retention, can induce seed germination or plant rooting. It is precisely because vermiculite has a strong ability to retain water, so it has always been called the artifact of succulent leaf insertion, sowing and breeding. In our common cultivation soil, we can all see vermiculite.

Can vermiculite directly raise succulent plants?

Although vermiculite has the function of air permeability and water retention, it can not provide nutrients for plants. It is only the ingredient of nutritious soil, which helps to ease thermal radiation, promote plant growth and has excellent moisturizing effect, so it is not possible to raise succulent plants only with vermiculite.

Nutritive soil mixed with vermiculite

If only vermiculite is used, first, it will cause excessive water retention of succulent plants, resulting in rotten roots, and second, it will cause succulent succulent plants to get no nutrients. In order to ensure that succulent plants grow well, the correct way to use vermiculite should be: add appropriate amount of vermiculite to the general succulent nutritious soil, then mix it well and put it on the basin.

Selection of vermiculite

White vermiculite

Yellow vermiculite

The vermiculite on the market is divided into white vermiculite and yellow vermiculite. We generally choose white vermiculite as a sharp weapon for succulent plants to take root and sprout.
