Succulent growth becomes slow or stops growing, roots protrude in the vents at the bottom of the basin, when the soil is loosened, the roots of flowers have obviously hindered the loosening tools, and watering dries quickly, these signs indicate that the flowerpot is too small. affected the normal growth of succulent plants. Soil hardening, poor permeability; watering is not easy to infiltrate, easy to overflow, indicating that the soil has been bad, should be changed basin. The most suitable time to change the basin should be in April and May when the weather is warmer in early spring, or in autumn.

Do succulent plants need root trimming when changing pots? If succulent plants do not grow well and change pots, root pruning must be carried out. Some old piles, the bottom roots have all been necrotic. Take the Black Master as an example, after summer dormancy, the bottom roots sometimes lose light. At the bottom of the long root system, cut off part of its epidermis, can play a role in stimulating rooting. Finally, if the succulent plant is in a normal state in summer, consider keeping its roots and media intact and changing it to a new basin at an inappropriate time. If the root is rotten at the bottom, it is necessary to take complete root pruning measures.

The soil stuck to the roots can be removed. Use your hands to get rid of the soil that sticks to the roots. The soil is old and has no nutrition, so throw it away. After removing the soil, you will find that it has so many roots. Cut the roots shorter with scissors to make them look cleaner. Add large grains of red jade soil, roughly to the height of the flowerpot about 1/3, which can make the drainage more smoothly. Then put in a layer of cultivated soil, as long as the amount of soil can cover the red jade soil below, and finally put a pinch of fertilizer.

Fertilizer can be added or not, succulent flesh does not need much fertilizer, really uncomfortable, can be a little fertilizer, fertilizer to choose high phosphorus, potassium and low nitrogen fertilizer, want to buy some granular slow-release fertilizer to spread on the soil, or mixed with soil, not compound fertilizer, slow-release fertilizer generally does not burn roots, compound fertilizer will burn roots, fertilizer should be thin and not thick, it is best to use below the marked concentration. Drugs, if the basin is well controlled, generally do not need fungicides, as long as buy some insect medicine to prevent, or wait for the long worm to buy it, there is no development here, the content is too much, let's talk about the long worm.

The succulent plant you just bought had better be soil-free, which has several advantages: you can observe the quality of the root system, prevent the introduction of soil diseases and insect pests, provide your own plant materials, and facilitate transportation. It is best not to buy exquisite ornamental meat with pots, because not all planting materials are correct, pots are too expensive and inconvenient, and the appearance of plants is generally not good. And don't let the shopkeeper help you pot it and then take it home, because the damaged roots of the plants in this way are not dried and directly planted, coupled with the bumps of transportation, it is easy to rot and die.

The variety of the basin looks like you like, but the size should be appropriate. In principle, the diameter of the basin is 2-3 cm larger than that of succulent plants. For tree-shaped meat, as long as the diameter of the basin is 5-6 cm larger than that of the rhizome, the bigger it is, the harder it is to breed. Unless it is a major product that cannot be raised. The basin bottom had better spread some large particles of stone or foam board to tear into small pieces and put it in. If the basin hole is larger and afraid of soil leakage, spread the screen net on the hole, and then release the soil.
