The soil of succulent plants should be ventilated and water-conserved, and only with nutritious leaves can they be fat and beautiful.

What kind of succulent plant culture soil is of high quality? To put it simply, it should be a sandy loam with loose air permeability, good drainage, certain aggregate structure and can provide nutrients needed for plant growth. When preparing, we should pay attention to the reasonable collocation of organic and inorganic plants to avoid too fine and too small dust. The soil of succulent plants must be breathable, and have a certain water retention function, of course, but also have nutrition, which can provide succulent nutrients. Professional players can use the following soil: the top is red jade soil or rainbow stone pavement, the bottom is 40% peat plus 50% particles (red jade soil, deer marsh soil, rainbow stone, vermiculite, rice wheat stone, etc.) plus plant ash 10%.

What is breathable? that is to say, the bottom of the basin will flow out as soon as you pour water into it. This is ideal, according to the different plants to add some peat or something. What kind of plant material to use according to their own habits, there is no regulation on what must be used, so junior enthusiasts as long as the plant material with breathable, watering the basin bottom immediately out of water, so it is OK. Nagging for a long time, at least the plant should have a general understanding of it, do not have to ask what plant material to use every day, kite plant material: cinder mixed with a small amount of peat, pure cinder, pure river sand or river sand mixed with a small amount of peat, sometimes add a little perlite or vermiculite.

Succulent plant seedlings need more peat, because the water storage capacity of the seedlings is weak, the old pile can have more particles, so the plant type is better, and the growth of plants can be proportional to the proportion of particles. the bigger the plant, the more particles can be added, and watering is the same, and the seedlings can not control the water. Temperature difference is also an important reason for the beautiful color of succulent plants. If the spring and autumn season, outdoor morning and evening temperature difference of more than 15 ℃, open-air maintenance, less than three days, the whole basin of succulent plants will change color. Of course, this is basically dependent on the weather, unless there are special conditions at home for temperature control.

The soil where the succulent plant stone flower lives in South Africa is basically sandy soil. South African desert soil, chernozem soil, Mediterranean soil and so on, the common characteristic of these soils is the low content of humus, that is, less organic nutrients and more minerals. In other words, the soil in the place of origin of raw stone flowers is relatively loose and breathable, does not have too much organic matter, and is more sandy. Of course, for most of our friends, it is impossible for you to go to Africa to get some soil to raise succulent plants. You can only choose to use local soil to imitate the original ecological soil as far as possible. One of the most important principles is the looseness and ventilation mentioned above.

Plants need sunlight, but not all plants like strong sunlight. Many junior enthusiasts will ask whether kites can be dried as soon as they are put on the pot. Yes, plants need sunshine, but we also have to wait for them to grow and stabilize before we see the sun. If we are eager to let them see the sun, not only the roots do not grow well, but even the plants themselves may slowly dehydrate and die.

For the maintenance of succulent plants, do not copy mechanically, the data are dead, not necessarily suitable for your growth environment, to be flexible, so that the plants can be raised better. There is even less water in the dormant period, since it is dormant, as long as the root system is not too dry and die, a small amount of water is still necessary, and the family is generally succulent, because the basin is small and the soil is less, if not a drop of water is given during the whole dormancy period, some varieties will die completely. Flower friends should flexibly master this point about water supply according to their own environment and multi-reference materials.
