How to plant succulents: succulent planting methods and precautions

How to plant succulentsThe editor briefly discusses the experience of planting succulents and the green plant maintenance aspects of succulent planting methods and precautions. Next, the editor will introduce to netizens.The maintenance methods of succulent plants are different from those of other annual, perennial shrubs, and green plant flowers. Succulents are very drought-resistant, easy to care for, and have various shapes. Once you have one pot, you want to keep more. However, after a summer, the dozens of succulents at home have few pots left. The following eight maintenance points should be noted.1. Choose strong and cold-resistant succulent plantsThere are many varieties of succulent plants, and beginners can choose some plants that are cold-resistant and very adaptable to the environment, such as the common Sedum or Hens and Chicks.Choosing cold-resistant plants does not mean keeping these succulents in extreme conditions for a long time. You can keep succulents with thick skin, such as the Sempervivum tectorum.2. Sufficient direct sunlightMany plant flowers cannot be exposed to the sun for too long, but succulents need adequate sunlight to grow well. However, in the summer when temperatures are too high, it is necessary to provide proper shading. The afternoon sun is particularly scorching, so you need to pull the sunshade net or move it to a semi-shaded area to avoid excessive exposure.In fact, summer is the most challenging time for succulents. When the temperature exceeds 33 degrees Celsius, combined with intense direct sunlight, the leaves of the plants can easily be damaged. This is why many succulents are prone to die in the summer. In addition to proper shading, it is necessary to clean the fallen leaves at the bottom of the pot and the base of the stems in time.3. Soil selectionSome friends think that sand can be directly used to plant succulents. In fact, succulents need good drainage, but planting succulents directly in pure sand is not a good choice. It has too good drainage, and the water quickly dissipates, so the succulent plant roots cannot absorb moisture.You can choose to use cactus soil or mix peat soil with perlite, and you can add some river sand. Such soil has good drainage and loose breathability.How to plant succulents4. The difference between succulent plants and cactiPersonally, I think succulents and cacti are different. Most cacti are considered succulents, and cactus leaves are classified as succulents. What do you think?Common succulent plants include Sempervivum, Sedum, Euphorbia, Hens and Chicks, Echeveria, Crassula, Graptopetalum, and Haworthia.Succulents and cacti are not the same thing. Most cacti are considered succulents, but some are not. Not all succulents are cacti. These include Sempervivum, Sedum, Euphorbia, Hens and Chicks, Echeveria, Crassula, Graptopetalum, and Haworthia.5. Weather that succulent plants can adapt toSucculent plants have relatively good adaptability to the environment. When purchasing succulent plants, you must first understand their environmental needs. Different succulents have slightly different maintenance methods, but the maintenance methods are almost the same.Succulents do not like too humid places and need to maintain ventilation. If the temperature is above 5 degrees Celsius, succulent plants should be kept in an outdoor environment, with proper shading in the summer. Temperatures below zero can easily cause frostbite, and succulents can only grow in brief low temperatures. Prolonged cold environments can easily lead to leaf frostbite and temperature decay.6. About succulent poisoningMany succulents are edible, but they must be avoided for accidental ingestion. Many succulents are toxic, and some only cause poisoning when ingested in large amounts. In particular, Euphorbia succulents are toxic, such as the common Euphorbia trigona, Euphorbia ingens, and Euphorbia milii.
