How to Cultivate Succulent Plants
For many girls, the content related to how to cultivate succulent plants and the simple soil mixture methods for green plants is what we will explore next.
Succulents have a charming appearance and are favored by many who like to keep them at home or in the office. They are drought-resistant, requiring minimal watering, and can thrive even in dry environments, making them very easy to care for. Let's introduce the planting methods of succulents in detail from three aspects: soil, watering, and sunlight.
1. Soil
When planting succulents, it is essential to choose soil that is loose, fertile, well-ventilated, and has good drainage. Otherwise, waterlogging in the pot can easily cause root rot, which will affect the growth of the succulents. Succulents are not very strict about soil pH, and you can use neutral or slightly acidic soil. Alkaline soil is not suitable for succulent growth. Additionally, do not change the soil easily during the maintenance process.
2. Watering
Succulents are drought-resistant but not flood-resistant. It is not necessary to water them too frequently or every day. Watering once every one or two weeks is sufficient. The specific amount of water depends on the weather conditions—more water when it's dry and less when it's humid. When watering, start from the roots and make sure to soak the soil layer thoroughly. Never pour water directly on the succulent leaves. Succulent leaves have a certain water-locking function and usually do not come into contact with water.
3. Sunlight
Succulents are light-loving plants, and ample sunlight can provide them with adequate nutrients for stronger growth. However, they are not tolerant of strong light. In the summer, when sunlight is too intense, it is necessary to take appropriate shading measures and place them in a position that receives scattered sunlight. Also, the surrounding temperature should be controlled above 15℃ and should not exceed 25℃.
The above is a comprehensive explanation of how to cultivate succulent plants and simple soil mixture methods, hoping to provide a starting point that can solve your green plant problems.
