3. How to choose succulent plants

The color of the plant is normal, the pattern is clear, there are no disease spots, insect spots, etc., when choosing and buying combinations of succulent plants, we should also pay attention to whether the habits of each variety are consistent.

4. What should you pay attention to when buying bare root succulent plants

Buy naked root succulent as far as possible to avoid the summer high temperature period, first repair the plant, remove the yellow leaves, if the plant is too wet to dry in a cool place, if the leaves are slightly wrinkled is a normal phenomenon. After planting, the old seedlings should be carried out for about 3 days. If the watering is delayed in rainy days, there will be a period of slow seedling period. During the slow seedling period, there can be no direct light. The size of succulent plants and the climate of varieties will affect the slow seedling stage. The seedling is faster than the old pile, the growing period is faster than the dormant period, and the humidity is faster than the dry weather.

5. How to match the soil

Inexperienced meat fans suggest to choose succulent special soil, generally good special soil is very light and breathable, water poured out immediately, the soil will be equipped with some slow-release fertilizer, will be sterilized. If you want to configure yourself, you can buy peat soil or coconut brick soil, perlite, vermiculite, red jade soil, deer marsh soil and so on.

6. What kind of flowerpot should you choose?

The best basin bottom is a water hole, first of all, according to the size of the succulent plant, the diameter of the basin is larger than the diameter of the succulent plant by 1 to 3cm. It is better that the diameter of the basin is larger than that of the succulent plant. It is better that the diameter of the basin is larger than that of the succulent plant. It is better to have a small root system than a succulent one.

7. How often do you water?

The climate between the north and the south is different, so it is necessary to combine the local climate. Spring and autumn are the peak growing season for succulent plants. It is good to observe the dry moisture of the soil, dry and thoroughly water the soil. Watering is the best time in the morning or evening. If the temperature is low in winter, you can choose to water at noon and turn around the edge of the basin. The speed is slow, so that the roots are watered evenly, and do not directly water the heart to avoid rotting the roots. Summer dormant succulent should stop watering, appropriate soil surface spray or foliar spray.

8. What should we do when the water is too big

If it is not serious, you can remove the plant from the basin, try not to scatter the tutuo as far as possible, take it to a place with good light to dry, or dry it with a hair dryer to remove the rotten leaves caused by the water. If the roots are rotten, it's completely hopeless.

When to fatten the succulent plant

It is not suitable to fertilize the plants that have just been put into the pot. We need to wait until the root system is ready and there is a lack of fertilizer. We should choose the spring and autumn season to apply fertilizer, choose some slow-acting fertilizers or fertilizers containing trace elements, and be sure to use thin fertilizer.

10. Succulent plants require light

Succulent plants planted with bare roots can not immediately see strong light, so it is suitable for a small amount of scattered light, otherwise it is easy to die of dehydration. Succulent plants in the growing period generally like the sun and can be exposed as far as possible. if the environment used to be cloudy, they should transition to see strong light to avoid sunburn, and those in the summer dormant period can be placed in a scattered light place or a semi-cool ventilated environment, pay attention to water control or cut off water, and spray water on the appropriate surface or leaf surface.

11. How appropriate is the temperature for succulent plants

Above 0 degrees will not produce frost damage, more than 30 degrees will generally appear eye rest, more suitable for succulent growth temperature of 15 degrees to 28 degrees.

12. How to change the basin

After the general plant grows all over the basin, the root system can also be considered to change the basin. When taking off the basin, the original soil should be retained as far as possible so as not to hurt the roots. Put the right amount of soil at the bottom of the new basin, put the plant straight, and fill the gap evenly around. Don't press it with your hands. According to the size of the basin, at least 1 to 3cm height is not required to fill the soil, which is used for watering.

13. What is dormancy? What do you need to pay attention to?

In general, the most suitable growth temperature for succulent plants is 15 degrees to 28 degrees. Most winter-type (winter growth) succulent plants will enter a dormant state, no longer absorb water, stop growing, the leaves fall, and the leaves become soft and unattractive. Attention should be paid to reducing the sunshine time, lengthening the watering interval and putting it in a ventilated place.

14. What to do if succulent plants get sick

Most succulent succulent insects are not very attractive, and there is usually no need to kill insects. Once it is found that according to what insects can prescribe the right medicine to the case, generally insects can be cured by spraying two or three times in a row. Scale insects are common, and the early prevention of scale insects is very important. If the development is serious, even the soil has to be treated, otherwise it is difficult to cure it.

15. Why are the yellow leaves falling?

There are many reasons for the loss of yellow leaves, such as: in the slow seedling stage, heavy water, serious lack of water and then watering will also appear some yellow leaves, diseases and insect pests, sunburn in the seedling stage, and so on. Natural aging and a small amount of shedding is a normal phenomenon.

Raising succulent plants is not only a hobby, but also a kind of long-term spiritual practice. Only after a long and boring wait and experiment, it is possible to cultivate the best condition and develop an old pile.
