After transplanting succulents, how to carry out scientific maintenance to make them quickly adapt to the new environment has become a problem for many新手 plant enthusiasts. This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of the maintenance methods for succulents after transplantation, helping your plants to rejuvenate.
Post-transplantation preliminary observation1. Observe the growth state of the succulent plant, such as whether the leaves are wilted or have pests and diseases.
2. Pay attention to changes in the environment after transplantation, such as light, temperature, and humidity.
Post-transplant watering1. After transplantation, the frequency of watering should be appropriately reduced to prevent waterlogging at the roots which can cause root rot.
2. When watering, a sprinkling method can be used to evenly distribute water in the soil.
3. After watering, keep the soil slightly moist, not too wet or too dry.
Light management1. In the early stage of transplantation, succulent plants should be placed in a semi-shaded area to avoid strong direct sunlight.
2. As the succulent plant gradually adapts to the new environment, the duration of sunlight exposure can be gradually increased until it is in full sunlight.
Temperature control1. Post-transplant succulents are sensitive to temperature and room temperature should be maintained between 15-25°C.
2. Avoid placing succulent plants near air conditioners or heaters to prevent excessive temperature differences that may affect growth.
Fertilization1. Within one month after transplantation, fertilization should not be carried out to avoid affecting the recovery of the succulent plant.
2. After the succulent plant has adapted to the new environment, an appropriate application of a special fertilizer for succulents can be used once a month.
Pest and disease control1. Regularly inspect succulent plants and deal with pests and diseases in a timely manner.
2. Physical and biological control methods can be used to avoid the use of chemical pesticides.
Pruning and shaping1. After transplantation, succulent plants can be pruned as needed to remove withered leaves and weak branches.
2. After pruning, the wounds can be treated with wood ash or disinfectant to prevent infection.
Ventilation and humidity1. Maintaining good ventilation is beneficial to the growth of succulent plants.
2. Avoid placing succulent plants in damp environments to prevent diseases.
The maintenance of succulent plants after transplantation is a progressive process that requires patience and carefulness. With the above eight aspects of maintenance measures, your succulent plants will certainly be able to quickly adapt to the new environment and rejuvenate.
