The most exciting moment in the process of maintaining succulents is when they show their colors. So-called "color display" refers to the color change of the leaves or stems of succulents, showing unique patterns and colors. The maintenance after the succulents show their colors is a science. This article will introduce you to the maintenance methods of succulents after showing their colors, helping your succulents to rejuvenate.
Maintain proper lighting
After the succulents show their colors, lighting is crucial to their maintenance. The colored succulents should maintain sufficient lighting but avoid direct sunlight. They can be placed in a place with plenty of scattered light, such as a balcony or windowsill. During the high-temperature periods of summer, they can be properly shaded to prevent the leaves from being sunburned.
Control watering
The succulents that have shown their colors have a relatively high demand for water, but watering should be moderate. When watering, make sure the soil is fully moisturized but not waterlogged. In winter, as the growth rate of succulents is slower, the frequency of watering should be reduced. The specific watering time can be adjusted according to the weather and soil moisture.
Reasonable fertilization
The succulents that have shown their colors have a high demand for fertilizer. During the vigorous growth period, a compound fertilizer can be applied once a month to promote growth. In winter, the frequency of fertilization can be appropriately reduced, and some foliar fertilizers can be applied to supplement the nutrients needed by the plant.
Pay attention to ventilation
In the maintenance process of succulents after showing their colors, a good ventilation environment should be maintained. Ventilation helps to reduce the humidity on the leaves of the plant and prevent the occurrence of diseases. During the high-temperature periods of summer, the ventilation time should be increased appropriately to prevent the leaves from burning.
Prevent diseases and insects
The succulents that have shown their colors are prone to attack by diseases and insects. During the maintenance process, the leaves and stems of the plant should be checked regularly, and diseases and insects should be dealt with promptly. The following measures can be taken:
1. Regularly spray pesticides to prevent the occurrence of diseases and insects.
2. Promptly clean up withered and diseased leaves to reduce the spread of diseases and insects.
3. Maintain indoor hygiene to reduce the breeding of diseases and insects.
Proper pruning
During the growth process of succulents that have shown their colors, there may be withered leaves, diseased leaves, etc. At this time, appropriate pruning can be done to maintain the beauty and health of the plant. Pruning should be done on sunny days and avoid operating in humid conditions.
The maintenance of succulents after showing their colors is a meticulous process that requires patience and carefulness. As long as the correct maintenance methods are mastered, your succulents can rejuvenate and show their unique charm. I hope this article is helpful to you.
