This article will provide you with a detailed introduction to the maintenance methods of succulents after planting and help you easily cope with these challenges. Understand the growth characteristics of succulent plants after planting. After planting, succulent plants take some time to adapt to the new environment. At this stage, their growth rate may slow down or even have a brief growth stagnation. Understanding this characteristic helps us better carry out subsequent maintenance work. Watering problem 1. Control watering frequency: Succulent plants do not require high water. Too much watering will cause root rot. After planting succulent plants can be watered every 7-10 days.
2. Watering method: When watering, make sure that the water can penetrate deep into the soil without causing water accumulation. You can use a spray can or drip irrigation system to water. Light problem 1. Provide sufficient light: Succulent plants need enough sunshine to grow healthier. After planting, succulent plants should be placed in places with sufficient sunshine, such as balconies, window sills, etc.
2. Avoid direct sunlight: Although succulent plants need sunlight, direct sunlight may cause sunburn on the leaves. During high temperatures in summer, succulent plants should be placed in semi-shaded places. Soil problem 1. Choose the right soil: Succulent plants are suitable for growing in soil with good air permeability and strong drainage. You can choose soil made by mixing peat soil, perlite and other materials.
2. Regularly replace the soil: After planting succulent plants, the soil needs to be replaced every 1-2 years to ensure the breathability and drainage of the soil. Pest and pest control 1. Observe plant growth: Regularly observe the growth of succulent plants, and take timely measures once signs of pests and diseases are found.
2. Use of pesticides: When pests and diseases occur, special succulent plant pesticides can be used for prevention and control, but it should be noted that the use of pesticides should be appropriate to avoid causing harm to plants. Trim and modeling 1. Trim dead leaves: During the maintenance process, prune dead leaves and sick leaves in time to prevent the spread of diseases and insect pests.
2. Modeling: Succulent plants have good modeling potential and can be trimmed and shaped according to personal preferences.
Although the maintenance work after planting succulents is a bit cumbersome, as long as you master the correct method, your succulents can grow vigorously. I hope the introduction in this article will help you. I wish you happiness growing succulents!
