As one of the popular succulent plants in recent years, the succulent Chedo, with its unique shape and rich colors, has won the favor of many gardening enthusiasts. How to take care of Chedo succulents to make them grow strong has become a concern for many novice gardening enthusiasts. This article will introduce you to the maintenance methods of Chedo succulents in detail, helping you to easily grow beautiful Chedo succulents.

Soil Selection

The requirements for soil of Chedo succulents are not strict, but it is best to choose sandy soil with good breathability and drainage. There are many soils on the market designed specifically for succulents, such as akadama soil and peat soil, which are both suitable for planting Chedo succulents. When preparing the soil, you can mix akadama soil and peat soil in a 1:1 ratio to increase the soil's breathability and water retention.

Light Requirements

Chedo succulents enjoy plenty of sunlight and require at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day. During the growing season, you can place Chedo succulents on an outdoor balcony or courtyard to allow direct sunlight, but in the hot summer, be sure to provide appropriate shade to prevent the plant from being sunburned by strong sunlight.

Watering Method

Chedo succulents do not tolerate waterlogging, so watering should be moderate. Generally, keeping the soil slightly moist is sufficient. It is best to water in the morning or evening, avoiding the high temperatures of noon. After watering, ventilate promptly to prevent soil waterlogging.

Fertilizing Techniques

Chedo succulents do not require a high amount of fertilizer. During the growing season, applying a diluted compound fertilizer once a month is enough. When fertilizing, be careful not to let the fertilizer come into contact with the leaves to avoid leaf scorching.

Pest and Disease Control

Chedo succulents may be affected by pests and diseases such as aphids and red spiders during growth. When pests and diseases are found, take timely measures. You can use insecticides for control, but be sure to choose insecticides safe for succulent plants. Maintaining good ventilation and suitable humidity helps prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases.

Pruning and Propagation

Propagation of Chedo succulents is relatively simple and can be done through division or cutting. During the growing season, you can prune the withered leaves appropriately to promote plant growth. The pruned leaves can also be used for propagation.

The maintenance of Chedo succulents is not complicated. By paying attention to soil, light, watering, fertilizing, pest and disease control, and pruning propagation, you can easily grow beautiful Chedo succulents. I hope this article can provide help for your maintenance journey and make your Chedo succulents flourish.
