How to care for Sedum succulentsDo you know these? The knowledge of how to care for Sedum succulents and the precautions for raising Sedum succulents in floriculture can certainly help you, let's learn about it together!There are more than 10,000 species of succulents worldwide, all of which belong to higher plants (most of them are angiosperms). In plant taxonomy, they belong to dozens of families, with some experts believing that there are 67 families containing succulents, but most experts believe that there are only more than 50 families. Commonly cultivated succulents include Cactaceae, Aizoaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Crassulaceae, Liliaceae, Asclepiadaceae, Agavaceae, and Asteraceae.Among succulents, cacti not only have a wide variety of species but also have organs unique to them, such as areoles. At the same time, the morphological diversity of cacti and the charm of their flowers are beyond the reach of other succulents. Therefore, in horticulture, they are often listed separately as cacti, while other succulents are referred to as succulents.Sedum succulents are deeply loved by succulent enthusiasts for their unique charm. How to plant them well is also a concern of Sedum enthusiasts. The following six points are all very important for the daily maintenance of Sedum, many of which are summarized by the author from taking care of their own garden and greenhouse.The first is a ventilated environment. In a natural environment, wind can cool the soil surface heated by the sun, and the effect is significant. Therefore, ventilation is very important, but greenhouses find it difficult to simulate the natural wind. Stagnant air and high humidity are a fatal combination for Sedum, and many Sedum plants rot from the inside out due to fungal infections. High temperatures and stagnant air can also easily cause pest problems, such as the outbreak of scale insects.How to care for Sedum succulentsThe substrate is also very important. The medium in the garden is a mixture of 50% garden soil and 50% pumice (which can be simply understood as 50% peat soil/nutrient soil and 50% particle soil) to improve soil drainage, and red volcanic rock is used for mulching to reduce the evaporative effect of sunlight and prevent excessive water loss. In the greenhouse, we use 30% peat and 70% pumice, with coarse granite sand for mulching. Using pure garden soil is not recommended, as it is too fertile and can cause plant elongation.When the leaves of succulents turn yellow, those yellow leaves still store some nutrients. Don't undervalue those soft, yellow leaves. Sometimes a couple of leaves may not be of much use, but over time, a lot of nutrients are wasted. Since succulents do not require much nutrition, the nutrients they produce themselves are enough for their own use, so removing them is actually a waste.This article shares specific introductions on how to care for Sedum succulents and the precautions for raising Sedum succulents, hoping to bring some floral knowledge to green enthusiasts.
