It is not easy to make succulent plants show their most beautiful colors. This article will unveil how to maintain succulent plants and easily achieve colorful results!

Adequate lighting

Succulent plants have a high demand for sunlight, and sufficient sunshine is the key to their color change. Ensuring 4-6 hours of direct sunlight every day allows succulent plants to show rich colors. In summer, due to strong sunshine, succulent plants can be placed in semi-shaded areas to avoid leaf sunburn caused by direct sunlight.

Reasonable watering

Succulent plants have relatively low water requirements, and excessive watering can easily lead to root rot. When watering, follow the principle of "better dry than wet", and wait for the soil to completely dry after watering before watering again to avoid waterlogging.

Suitable temperature

Succulent plants have strong adaptability to temperature, but excessive temperatures can cause leaf discoloration. Placing succulent plants in an environment of 15-25℃ helps them maintain bright colors. In winter, when indoor temperatures are low, it is important to keep succulent plants warm.

Soil selection

Succulent plants have high requirements for soil and need to choose soil with good breathability and strong drainage. Commonly available specialized succulent soil, peat soil, etc., are good choices. You can also add some perlite, vermiculite, etc., to the soil to improve its breathability and drainage.

Fertilizing techniques

Proper fertilizing helps succulent plant growth, but excessive fertilizing can cause leaf discoloration. Applying a dilute liquid fertilizer once a month is sufficient, and during the vigorous growth period, the fertilizing frequency can be appropriately increased.

Pest and disease control

Succulent plants are susceptible to pests and diseases during growth. Once pests and diseases are found, timely measures should be taken. Pesticides and fungicides can be used for prevention and control, and ventilation should be maintained to reduce the incidence of pests and diseases.

Pruning and shaping

To keep succulent plants beautiful, pruning can be done regularly to remove withered and weak leaves, which helps the plant concentrate nutrients and promote the growth of new leaves. Pruning can also be used to shape the succulent plant's form, making it more beautiful.

Through the maintenance of these seven aspects, I believe your succulent plants can certainly present a colorful and beautiful appearance. Maintaining succulent plants requires patience and care. Only with dedicated nurturing can you harvest beautiful succulent plants. Let's work together to make succulent plants a beautiful landscape in our homes!
