With the growing popularity of succulent plants in home cultivation, more and more people are paying attention to the care of succulents. The Green Succulent, as a popular variety, requires special care methods to achieve its best condition. This article will provide you with a detailed introduction on how to care for Green Succulents.
I: Soil Selection
Green Succulents have high requirements for soil. We should choose loose, breathable, and well-draining sandy soil, and add an appropriate amount of leaf mold, perlite, and coral sand.
II: Watering Methods
Since Green Succulents belong to the category of thick-leaved plants, their watering needs to be frequent but with small amounts. We can choose between two methods: top watering or soaking, among which top watering is more suitable for beginners.
III: Fertilizing Methods
In terms of fertilizing, we should choose fern fertilizers, growth regulators, and trace element fertilizers, and fertilize once every one or two weeks to ensure a sufficient supply of nutrients.
IV: Temperature Control
Green Succulents need to grow in an environment with suitable temperatures, which is 18°C-25°C. During high summer temperatures, attention should be paid to cooling down, while in winter, attention should be paid to keeping warm.
V: Light Requirements
Green Succulents need plenty of light, but direct sunlight is not friendly to them. We can place them in a semi-shaded area or use a shade net to control the amount of light.
VI: The Importance of Ventilation
Ventilation is an indispensable part of the growth process for Green Succulents, as it can ensure their smooth respiration and improve the quality of cultivation. Therefore, in summer, pay attention to opening windows for ventilation, and in winter, you should choose to maintain ventilation indoors.
VII: Precautions for Repotting
When the Green Succulent grows to a certain size, it needs to be repotted to ensure its quality of growth. When repotting, we should pay attention to selecting a suitable pot, repotting at the right time, and gently removing the root system.

X: Pay Attention to the Dormancy Period
Green Succulents enter a dormancy period in autumn and winter. At this time, it is necessary to reduce watering and fertilizing, and maintain indoor temperature and ventilation to ensure the quality of their dormancy.
XI: Hybridization and Propagation Techniques
If you want to hybridize Green Succulents, we can choose to manually pollinate the flower buds, select a suitable pot for planting, and control temperature and humidity.
