Several common misunderstandings of raising succulent plants to see if you have done anything wrong.

The water will not be watered thoroughly.

Many people think that succulent plants are afraid of water, so they take it for granted that when watering succulent plants, they only put a little water on the surface, only wet the surface of the soil, but not thoroughly. In this way, it is easy to lead to succulent water distributed on a very shallow surface, can not reach the succulent root, can only accumulate in the stem, this is not conducive to the healthy growth of succulent, easy to lead to stem rot. Of course, you can't water too much, otherwise succulent plants are easy to rot.

Wash the roots as soon as you buy it home.

As soon as many people buy back a basin of succulent plants, they immediately begin to wash their roots for fear that there are bacteria and viruses in the original soil that they do not know, which will affect the healthy growth of succulent plants. Generally speaking, the succulent plant just started, unless it is because of insect pests, the root of the succulent plant may contain insect eggs, and the root must be washed in order to facilitate the healthy growth of the succulent plant. In this case, it is necessary to wash the root of the succulent plant. Otherwise, it is not necessary to wash the root of the succulent plant, so as not to damage its roots.

Keep it in the sun all the time

Give succulent a sunny environment, it is indeed conducive to the growth of succulent, and many succulent varieties only accept sufficient sunlight, succulent can be out of the state, the color is more beautiful. But this does not mean that succulent plants should be exposed to the sun no matter what the weather or temperature is. Different varieties have different demand for sunlight, even the same variety, in different seasons and different growth cycles, the demand for sunlight is also very different. Moreover, in summer, most succulent plants will enter a dormant period, so we should pay attention to shading and avoiding the sun properly.

Large amount of fertilizer application

Most succulent plants do not need much fertilizer, because after years of evolution, succulent plants have adapted to the loose and barren environment and do not need too much nutrition to grow, so generally speaking, if succulent plants are maintained, no fertilization is the best choice. If you think your succulent plant really needs to be fertilized, you only need to apply fertilizer once every three months or so. Try not to apply organic fertilizer to avoid causing diseases and insect pests.

The blackening of the stem is black rot.

Many people think that as long as their succulent stems turn black, it is black rot, and then they are busy beheading, pruning leaves and disinfecting tools. In fact, sometimes it's not black rot, it's just normal Lignification of succulent stems. If the succulent stem turns black, but the leaves are still healthy and full, it means that the succulent plant is not black rotten, so there is no need to rush to take measures.

Water the succulent plant at noon

As soon as many people arrive at noon, when they see that succulent plants are colorful and beautiful, they are eager to water succulent succulent plants to make them more beautiful, but they do not realize that this is a big taboo for succulent plants. Remember not to water at noon, especially when it's hot in summer. Watering at noon can easily cause damage to the succulent roots and cause irreparable wounds to the succulent plants. When watering, do not dip water on the succulent leaves, otherwise it is easy to burn the succulent leaves, which is not conducive to the growth of succulent plants.

Slow root has no patience to wait.

When it comes to succulent plants, many people don't have the patience to wait, and at first they are fine, but a month later, if succulent plants still show no signs of recovery, they begin to doubt whether succulent plants have failed or died. In fact, different succulent varieties, the time needed to slow the root is also different, some people on the Internet said that their blue bean slow root took as long as three months. Therefore, when succulent plants slow down, you must wait patiently and do not rush to sentence your own succulent plants to death.
