Fertilizing succulent plants in spring and autumn can make the leaves fatter.

The native land of succulent plants is mostly in the desert wilderness, with poor soil and few nutrients, so many planting enthusiasts advocate that the cultivation of succulent plants should simulate their native environment, and the three elements of plant growth are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen is mainly concentrated in the branches and leaves of plants, so the growth of branches and leaves can be promoted by supplementing nitrogen fertilizer.

Fertilization is generally carried out in spring and autumn, and the high temperature period in midsummer stops. If there is heating in winter, fertilizer can be applied to some species that continue to grow or blossom in winter, but not for most species. The concentration of fertilization should be mastered rather than light rather than thick, and would rather be applied several times rather than risk applying thick fertilizer at once.

In addition, there is a situation where fertilizer should be applied, that is, when succulent plants bloom. Plants need to consume a lot of nutrients to blossom and bear fruit, not just the phosphate fertilizer we mentioned earlier. The flowering and fruiting of a plant is an important life cycle, so at this time, all the tissues of the plant will cooperate with this important action of breeding offspring, including: the stem will be thickened to prevent the flowers and fruits from overweight and lodging. The roots will grasp deeper and help absorb more nutrients. Some plants shed their leaves properly so as not to block insect pollination and fruit lighting.

Does succulent leaf insertion also need to be fertilized? Do not fertilize when cutting, no rhizome is easy to cause rot. Even if it takes root in the future, fertilization should not be close to the plant. Does the old pile of succulent plants need to be fertilized? Plants need strong indoor light and a dry growing environment. Therefore, in addition to the location, watering must be controlled, preferring drought to waterlogging. Usually, as long as the leaves in the middle layer do not show slight wilting folds, do not water them so as not to grow too much. Thin liquid fertilizer can be given once a month during the peak growing season.

Xiaomiao likes water, please keep the soil slightly moist, but not too wet, put your fingers in the soil, it is appropriate to touch some soil. A lot of the nutrition of the seedlings comes from the mother leaves, and part of the roots come from the nutrients absorbed by the roots. If you want to apply fertilizer, you can do whatever you want, just a little less. I have been raising meat for almost two years. I use succulent special fertilizer. Although I don't know what's in it, it is only for adult plants.

Succulent leaves do not need to be fertilized, in fact, succulent plants are rarely fertilized. Generally, some slow-release fertilizers are buried in the soil, and succulent plants are usually drenched in the rain, especially in thunderstorms, because a lot of favorable nutrients are produced when thunder strikes. However, Xiaomiao is not recommended to be caught in the rain, but can be watered by Rain Water. The slow growth of leaf cuttings is also due to the soil. it seems that many beginners directly use the dug garden soil to do leaf cuttings. this kind of leaf cuttings grow more slowly, because the garden soil is hard, and the root system of leaf cuttings is soft, so it is difficult to take root. So it is best to thicken the river sand with peat, the ratio is 2:1.
