With the acceleration of the pace of life, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to the greening of the home environment. Succulent plants have become the first choice for many families due to their unique shapes and easy maintenance. As a seasonal fruit in summer, nectarines are deeply loved for their sweet and juicy characteristics. This article will introduce you to the maintenance methods of succulents and nectarines in detail, helping you to create a green and sweet fruit-filled home.
The maintenance of succulent plants1. Light
Succulent plants require plenty of light and should be placed in a sunny location. In summer, strong direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent leaf sunburn, while in winter, the duration of sunlight can be appropriately increased.
2. Watering
Succulent plants are not tolerant of waterlogging. When watering, follow the principle of "better dry than wet". Generally, watering once a week is sufficient. It is best to water in the morning or evening to avoid high temperatures at noon.
3. Soil
Succulent plants thrive in well-draining, breathable soil. You can use special succulent soil or homemade mixed soil (peat soil, perlite, river sand, etc., mixed in a certain proportion).
4. Fertilization
Succulent plants grow slowly and do not require much fertilizer. During the peak growing period, applying a diluted liquid fertilizer once a month is enough.
The maintenance of nectarines1. Light
Nectarines love light and should be placed in a sunny location. Ample sunlight during the growing process is beneficial for the accumulation of sugar in the fruit, improving the taste.
2. Watering
Nectarines are not tolerant of waterlogging. When watering, follow the principle of "watering when dry and damp". During the peak growing period, watering once a week is sufficient. It is important to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
3. Soil
Nectarines grow well in loose, fertile, and well-draining soil. You can use garden soil, leaf mold, river sand, etc., mixed in a certain proportion.
4. Fertilization
During the peak growing period of nectarines, apply a compound fertilizer once a month. Before the fruit ripens, fertilizers such as monopotassium phosphate can be applied to promote sugar accumulation in the fruit.
Although the maintenance of succulents and nectarines has its own characteristics, they both require ample sunlight, suitable soil, and moderate water. Through proper maintenance, you can not only enjoy the beauty of succulents at home but also taste the sweetness of nectarines. I hope this article can provide some help for your maintenance journey.
