How to care for peach eggs
The editor will answer the topic related to the cultivation of peach eggs and the precautions for their maintenance. Let's learn about it together below.
Peach eggs are considered a premium variety among succulents and can truly be described as a long-lasting variety. This variety has existed since the early development of succulents in our country, and it is still very popular in the market today, with many people purchasing it. Some people even focus solely on the quality control of this variety, only cultivating peach eggs at home and not other succulents.
This type of succulent has a unique appearance that can be easily distinguished at a glance. Its leaves are always pink, and when they reach their best state, they can turn deep red, offering high ornamental value. After being cared for at home for a few years, its value may even increase, unlike other succulents whose value may decrease after a few years of care.
The popularity of peach eggs is indeed very high, and many people still cultivate them today. It's easy to keep peach eggs alive; just plant them in a pot and water them. However, it is very rare to cultivate them well, as it requires a certain environment and experience. For example, if you want to cultivate peach eggs well, you must keep them outdoors in an open area.
How to care for peach eggs
This variety has an extremely high demand for sunlight. Intense sunlight is necessary to meet its growth requirements. Only by placing it outdoors to receive direct sunlight can you control its growth rate with intense sunlight to prevent it from becoming leggy. Insufficient sunlight will cause the leaves to stretch, resulting in a tall main stem and gradually increasing spacing between the leaves.
If you enjoy cultivating peach eggs, you first need to have an outdoor terrace. Meeting this condition is enough. If you don't have a terrace and can only keep them indoors, it's better not to buy them, as they will become leggy even at home. Using grow lights may alleviate legginess, but once peach eggs become leggy, they lose any value for cultivation.
When cultivating peach eggs, it's best to use small pots, as large pots will accelerate their growth and affect the overall shape. Also, try to use a mix of particles and half-composted soil. The combination of half particles and half composted soil provides better growth results. Using only pure particles will slow down the growth too much, leading to root growth without leaves. Using only composted soil can cause excessive moisture, making it easy for leaves to fall off.
