Caring for Guanyin lotus succulent is not an easy task and requires certain skills. This article will introduce you to the care methods of Guanyin lotus succulent plants in detail, helping you to easily cultivate beautiful succulents.

Soil selection

Guanyin lotus succulent plants have high requirements for soil and should choose soil with good breathability and drainage. Common succulent-specific soil or peat soil on the market can be used as the planting soil for Guanyin lotus. It is appropriate to add pearl rock, vermiculite, and other particle materials to improve the soil's breathability and drainage.

Lighting management

Guanyin lotus succulent plants enjoy plenty of sunlight but avoid direct exposure to the sun. In the growing season, Guanyin lotus should be placed in a location with ample scattered light, such as a balcony or windowsill. In the hot summer, it is necessary to provide appropriate shading to prevent leaf sunburn. In winter, when there is insufficient sunlight, Guanyin lotus can be moved indoors, but it must ensure there is enough scattered light every day.

Watering skills

Guanyin lotus succulent plants are not tolerant of waterlogging, and watering should be moderate. Generally, watering once a week is sufficient. When watering, avoid splashing water on the leaves to prevent diseases. Observe the dryness of the soil, and water when the surface of the soil shows cracks. In winter, when the temperature is lower, reduce the frequency of watering to prevent root rot.

Fertilizing methods

During the growing season, Guanyin lotus succulent plants require a moderate amount of fertilizer. You can choose succulent-specific fertilizer or a compound fertilizer with low nitrogen and high phosphorus and potassium. Follow the principle of "fertilizing frequently with a small amount" and apply once a month. When the temperature is low in winter, fertilizing can be paused.

Pest and disease control

Guanyin lotus succulent plants are susceptible to pest and disease attacks. If spots or wilting of the leaves is found, take timely measures. The following methods can be used for prevention and control:

1. Clean the maintenance environment and keep it well-ventilated;

2. Regularly inspect the plants and promptly remove diseased leaves when pests or diseases are found;

3. Use insecticides or fungicides for prevention and control, but pay attention to choosing safe agents for succulent plants.

Propagation methods

The propagation of Guanyin lotus succulent plants mainly uses the division method. In the growing season, healthy Guanyin lotus plants are separated from the mother plant and planted separately. Be careful during the separation to avoid damaging the roots. Once the new plants are stable, they can become independent plants.

In the process of caring for Guanyin lotus succulent plants, attention should be paid to the management of soil, lighting, watering, fertilizing, pest and disease control, and propagation. As long as these techniques are mastered, you will certainly be able to cultivate beautiful and healthy Guanyin lotus succulent plants. I hope this article is helpful to you.
