Dear succulent lovers, are you like me, full of love for those chubby little guys? They need our special care during their acclimatization period! Today, let me tell you in detail how to care for succulents during this period, so that your little succulents can grow up healthy and beautiful!
1. The Mystery of the Acclimatization Period
Did you know that during the acclimatization period, succulents are like children who have just moved to a new home and need time to adapt. During this stage, their roots will slowly regain their vitality, and their leaves will gradually unfurl. Therefore, at this time, we need to pay special attention to the following points:
2. The Art of Watering During Acclimatization
This is the key to the key! During the acclimatization period, never water your succulents frequently, otherwise their little roots will protest! Generally, within a week after potting, you can first observe the dryness and wetness of the soil. If the soil surface is dry, then give them a little water, but remember not to water too much!
3. The Gentle Embrace of Light
Succulents during the acclimatization period cannot be directly exposed to the sun! At this time, they need gentle, indirect light. You can place them indoors near a window, allowing the sunlight to filter through and fall on them, which will not sunburn them but will also meet their light needs.
4. Balancing Temperature and HumidityTemperature and humidity are two treasures for succulents during their acclimatization period! Generally, it is ideal to keep the temperature around 20°C, and the humidity should not be too high, keeping it around 40% is sufficient. If you have heating at home, remember to ventilate appropriately to avoid the air from being too dry.
5. The "Weight Loss" Process During AcclimatizationThis "weight loss" process is actually the succulents consuming the energy of the old leaves at the bottom to adapt to the new environment and thus grow new roots. So, when you see their leaves become thinner and softer, don't worry, this is a normal physiological phenomenon!
6. The "Transformation" Moment of AcclimatizationThe day has finally come! When your succulents' new leaves start to become plump and firm, and the old leaves begin to wither, congratulations, they have successfully passed the acclimatization period! At this point, you can take care of them as you normally would.
7. Precautions During the Acclimatization PeriodLet me give you a few more precautions:
1. Do not change pots or trim roots frequently, this will cause more distress to your succulents!
2. If they beheaded succulents, offsets, or leaf-cutting seedlings, remember to let the wounds dry before planting to avoid infection.
3. For succulents during the acclimatization period, try not to fertilize to avoid root burn.
4. Be sure to maintain the soil's aeration and drainage, so that the succulents can grow up healthy.
Dear succulent lovers, I hope my sharing can help you! Let's take good care of these lovely little guys with our hearts, let them grow strong and shine with the most beautiful splendor under our care!
