While enjoying the beauty brought by succulent seeds, how to maintain seedlings after germination. Let them grow healthily has become a concern for many novice maintenance practitioners. This article will introduce you in detail the maintenance methods after germination of succulent seeds and help you easily raise beautiful succulent plants. Illuminated succulent plants like enough sunlight, but succulent plants in the seedling period have relatively low requirements for light. During the maintenance process after germination, the seedlings should be placed in an environment with sufficient scattered light to avoid direct sunlight.

Watering fleshy seeds after germination requires relatively high water, but it should not be too much. When watering, the principle of "better dry than wet" should be followed and the soil should be kept slightly moist. You can water in the morning or evening. Avoid watering at high temperatures at noon to avoid sunburn on the seedling leaves. Timely ventilation after watering to prevent water accumulation in the soil. Soil The soil of succulent seedlings requires loose, breathable and well-drained soil.
