The following is a specific introduction for everyone.
1. Planting Time
The planting time for succulents is usually chosen from March to May in spring, when the climate is mild and the temperature is suitable, which is conducive to increasing their survival rate and accelerating root formation and germination.
2. Preparing Pot Soil
It is best to choose a slightly smaller pottery or tile pot because most succulent plants are small in size, just fitting their own size. For the pot soil, it is recommended to mix humus soil, peat soil, and coarse sand in a ratio of 2:2:1, or you can use special soil for succulent plants directly.
3. Choosing Seeds
First, choose the variety according to personal preference, and then select succulent seeds that are vigorous and plump, which can usually be purchased at the flower market.
4. Planting
Spread the prepared succulent seeds on the soil and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Sprinkle a little water and cover the soil with a layer of plastic film. Make several holes in the plastic film to facilitate ventilation, absorb surrounding oxygen, and promote rapid growth of roots and buds.
5. Post-Planting Management
There is no need to water immediately after planting the seeds, just water when the soil is dry, generally every 5-7 days. After the succulents take root and germinate, use a professional fertilizer called "Flower More" every 10-15 days. In addition, a growth temperature of 15-20 degrees is relatively suitable for succulents. In summer, avoid high temperatures, and in winter, insulation measures should be taken to ensure that the temperature does not drop below 10 degrees to prevent frost damage.
