How to cultivate succulent roses
If you want to know how to cultivate succulent roses and the detailed knowledge about the cultivation techniques of succulent roses, here are the specifics:
Many flower enthusiasts not only enjoy growing flowers but also many people like to grow succulents. Most succulent plants look very cute and are very popular. Besides these adorable succulents, there are some with high aesthetic value and a noble temperament. They are very beautiful and some flower enthusiasts like to make them into bouquets. What kind of succulent is it? It is what we commonly call "mountain roses."
Don't be fooled by the mountain rose's appearance, which is similar to that of a rose, and assume it is delicate and cute. In fact, mountain roses become even more beautiful when they grow into old stems. Some flower enthusiasts have even managed to grow them into full pots. How exactly to grow them into full pots? I have prepared a set of care techniques for mountain roses, so flower enthusiasts who like them should collect them quickly~
1. Soil
Mountain roses are succulent plants, so the matrix used for cultivation should not be soil, as soil has relatively poor breathability. We can switch to using pure particle substrates. Mix vermiculite and river sand in a 1:1 ratio and plant the mountain rose in it. This has excellent breathability and is beneficial for root growth. After planting, you can use maifan stone as mulch, which allows for quick evaporation of water and prevents root rot.
2. Watering
Mountain roses are drought-resistant, and it's winter now, so there's no need to water too much. Flower enthusiasts must control the amount of water when watering. A good method to control watering is the immersion method. Find a pot with half filled with water and immerse the flower pot directly in the water, but make sure the water level does not exceed the surface of the pot. The pot surface should remain dry, with only the soil slightly moist.

3. Ventilation
Good ventilation is an important aspect of successfully growing mountain roses. I recommend placing mountain roses near a window sill or in a well-ventilated area of the living room. During the day, at noon, you can open the windows to ventilate for about 40 minutes to an hour. Only with good ventilation will the roots grow stronger, and the mountain rose will be more likely to fill the pot.
4. Sunlight
Mountain roses prefer environments with ample sunlight, preferably on a south-facing balcony or window sill. They also have a certain tolerance for shade, so if there's no south-facing balcony, it's fine to keep them on an east-facing balcony.
5. Fertilization
Succulent plants do not require a lot of fertilizer, so do not fertilize them too much, as excessive fertilizer can burn and rot the roots. Just a little bit of compound fertilizer during the growing period is enough, and then no need to fertilize again for 2-3 months.
6. Temperature
When growing mountain roses in winter, be sure to move them indoors when the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius. Keeping the indoor temperature above 15 degrees Celsius will ensure the mountain roses can safely survive the winter.
