With the spring breeze caressing the face, everything revives. After the beginning of spring, the maintenance of succulent plants has become a top priority for many flower friends. Succulent plants are deeply loved by people for their unique shapes and easy-to-care-for nature. How should succulent plants be maintained after the beginning of spring? Here are some practical maintenance tips to help your succulents rejuvenate.
Adequate lightingAfter the beginning of spring, the temperature gradually warms up, and the sun also becomes brighter. Succulent plants need more sunlight to promote growth at this time. Succulent plants need to be exposed to at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight every day. If there is insufficient sunlight, succulent plants may easily show symptoms of stretching and soft leaves. Place succulent plants in a sunny location, such as a balcony or windowsill.
Moderate wateringAfter the beginning of spring, succulent plants begin to enter a period of vigorous growth and need to be fertilized appropriately. You can choose special fertilizers for succulent plants and apply them according to the proportions indicated in the instructions. The fertilizing frequency is generally once or twice a month. After fertilizing, keep the soil moist to allow the fertilizer to be fully absorbed.
VentilationThe spring temperature is comfortable, and the humidity is moderate, which is the golden season for the growth of succulent plants. It is necessary to maintain good ventilation to avoid excessive indoor humidity, which can cause diseases and pests in succulent plants. Place succulent plants in a well-ventilated area outdoors or use equipment such as fans for ventilation.
Pruning and branch cuttingAfter the beginning of spring, succulent plants may have some withered and weak branches and leaves. It is necessary to prune and trim these at this time. Pruning can promote the growth of succulent plants and is also aesthetically pleasing. When pruning, use a sharp pair of scissors to completely remove the weak and diseased branches and leaves, and pay attention to disinfection to prevent the spread of germs.
Pest and disease preventionAfter the beginning of spring, the maintenance of succulent plants needs to pay attention to aspects such as lighting, watering, fertilizing, ventilation, pruning, and pest and disease prevention. As long as these key points are mastered, your succulent plants can rejuvenate in spring. Maintaining succulent plants is also a process of cultivating one's mind and character. It is hoped that flower friends can enjoy the fun of it.
