How to grow succulents? Master these methods, and they will bloom beautifully.
Succulents are plants that many gardening enthusiasts can't resist, and they also have a high ornamental value, loved by many. Moreover, there are many varieties of succulents, with various colors, each having its own unique beauty. However, although succulents are beautiful, many gardening enthusiasts don't know how to cultivate them properly, and the succulents they grow often die mysteriously, leaving them hesitant to grow them again. In fact, to grow succulents well, it is essential to master these key points. Once these are grasped, cultivating succulents won't be a problem. They will not only grow vigorously but also multiply, with one pot potentially dividing into several. Below, I will share the cultivation methods for succulents with everyone.
1. Water Control
If you want to grow succulents in the best condition at home, water control is a very important aspect. In our daily maintenance, if we wait for the pot surface to completely dry out before watering, it will definitely affect the growth state of the succulents. If watering is neglected for a long time, the succulents will show signs of dehydration. Once dehydration occurs, the plant's resistance will decrease, and in severe cases, diseases and pests may occur, or even death.
The correct watering method for succulents is to insert a wooden chopstick into the bottom of the pot when the pot surface starts to dry. If the chopstick is moist, there is no need to water. If the chopstick has no moisture, the succulents are lacking water, and it's time to water them immediately and thoroughly, making sure not to let water accumulate. After watering, place the succulents in a ventilated area to grow, allowing excess water to evaporate quickly.

2. Fertilization
Many people are very serious when they first start growing succulents, checking their growth almost every day and being very attentive with watering and fertilizing. However, they start to neglect the plants after a while, as if they are fishing for three days and drying nets for two, once the novelty wears off. In fact, it's not necessary to fertilize succulents every day. There is a specific period for fertilizing them. Never treat succulents as if you're fishing, or the plants will definitely not survive.
Many succulents do not require a high amount of nutrients and can be grown without fertilization. If we use loose and breathable soil when planting succulents, we only need to pay more attention to their maintenance afterwards, without the need to fertilize deliberately. If the succulents grow rapidly after a period, we can supplement them with some slow-release fertilizer to promote their growth.
3. Sunlight
Succulents need sufficient sunlight during their growth peak. They can be placed outdoors all day in spring to absorb sunlight. If it rains, they must be moved indoors to prevent waterlogging and rot. Supplementing succulents with sunlight is not possible in all seasons. In hot summers, they cannot be placed outdoors all day, as this can cause burns. On hot days, you can place them outdoors in the evening or in a well-lit area indoors. This will make the succulents more plump and healthier.
