Prepare planting tools and materials1. Tools: gardening scissors, disinfectant, planting soil, flower pot, and well-ventilated pot bottom material (such as ceramsite, small stones, etc.).
2. Materials: Buddha Ball succulents, rooting powder (optional).
Planting steps1. Clean the Buddha Ball succulents: Use gardening scissors to cut off the withered and diseased leaves of the Buddha Ball succulents, then soak them in disinfectant for 10 minutes to disinfect and sterilize.

3. Planting: Place the disinfected Buddha Ball succulents into the prepared planting soil, taking care not to plant them too deep to avoid affecting their breathing. The planting depth is generally 1/3 to 1/2 of the diameter of the Buddha Ball succulents.
4. Watering: After planting, spray water gently with a spray bottle to moisten the soil, taking care to avoid spraying directly on the leaves of the Buddha Ball succulents to prevent leaf rot.
5. Covering: Cover a layer of plastic film around the Buddha Ball succulents to keep the soil moist and improve the success rate of planting.

2. Watering: Keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging. Increase watering frequency appropriately during the growing season and reduce it during the dormant season.
3. Fertilization: Apply a compound fertilizer once a month during the growing season to promote plant growth.
