Planting succulents in spring, 10 succulents suitable for beginners, affordable and easy to care for
If you enjoy raising succulents, it's essential to start in spring. It's not recommended to buy succulents in other seasons, especially in the northern regions, where the climate is unique. The temperature is very low in autumn and winter, and very high in summer. Only in spring is it the most suitable time to buy succulents. The succulents bought in spring can grow their roots to fill the entire pot before summer arrives.
The key to raising succulents lies in nurturing the roots. Only when the roots fill the pot can they grow healthily. Poor root development makes it difficult to survive the summer. Many people say that raising succulents is challenging, but it's not difficult. The difficulty lies in not knowing how to operate and not mastering the timing of planting. Not all periods are suitable for planting succulents.
Whether in the south or the north, the best temperature for planting succulents is around 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. This temperature range is relatively high, and the plants will quickly grow aerial roots in a slightly dry environment. Plant them in the soil at this time, and the roots in contact with the soil will grow new fine roots, quickly taking root and growing.
Buy succulents in the right season and plant them in the right season. Don't buy randomly, or the result will be that the succulents you buy may accidentally die.
After the beginning of spring, 10 succulents are very suitable for beginners. Friends who enjoy raising succulents can prepare to buy them in advance.
10 succulents suitable for beginners
1. Peach (Chihuahua)
Peach, also known as Chihuahua, is one of my favorite succulents. I have liked this variety ever since the rise of succulent plants in the Chinese market. Its price used to be very high, but now it's very affordable. Although the price has dropped, my fondness for it remains unchanged. A well-grown peach is very beautiful, with leaves that can turn the color of a peach. Peaches in the market are about five yuan each.
2. Dongyun Wumu
Wumu is actually a large family, divided into different varieties. It's best to choose the most common and cheapest one. The key to caring for Wumu is long-term consistency. It may not show any signs of growth in the first one or two years, but after about three to four years, as it grows, even if the leaves don't turn black, its appearance alone gives off a sense of dominance.
3. Orange Dream
Three to four years ago, the price of an Orange Dream was at least 70 to 80 yuan, but now it only costs 10 yuan, the price of two popsicles. Something that seemed unimaginable before is now affordable to everyone. Each Orange Dream brought home can be propagated through leaf insertion, and the color of a well-grown Orange Dream is also very beautiful. The key is that the price has dropped, making it possible to buy freely.
