During the maintenance process, we must fully understand the characteristics of succulents and reasonably control the watering frequency and amount of water. Reasonable watering 1. Observe the soil moisture: Before watering, gently touch the soil with your fingers. If the soil surface is dry, it means watering is needed.
2. Control the watering frequency: Succulent plants are not resistant to waterlogging, and the watering frequency should not be too high. Generally, watering once a week, and the number of watering times can be appropriately increased during the hot summer season.
3. Watering method: When watering, try to use spray cans or drip irrigation to avoid water splashing on the leaves and causing them to rot. Maintaining good ventilation and succulent plants require a good ventilated environment during their growth, which helps water evaporate and prevents hydration. The following are some measures to maintain ventilation: 1. Place succulent plants in well-ventilated places and avoid being close to walls or furniture.

Choose growth fertilizers suitable for succulent plants: Succulent plants have low demand for fertilizers, so fertilizers with low nitrogen and high phosphorus and potassium should be selected.
2. Fertilization frequency: Generally apply fertilizer once a month, and water should be done in time after fertilization to promote fertilizer absorption. Regularly check that fleshy plants are vulnerable to pests and diseases. Regular inspections and taking corresponding measures can help prevent hydration. The following are some methods to prevent pests and diseases: 1. Observe leaves, stems and other parts, and if there is any abnormality, promptly deal with it.
