How to care for succulents in spring
Let me tell you about some topics related to succulents in spring, how to care for them. Next, the editor will introduce them.
There aren't many flower enthusiasts who grow them, so there is also less information about how to care for succulents in spring, and similar information about spring introductions. This article is a summary of the information about spring by the flower enthusiast Kite's Garden, which not only includes basic knowledge but also summarizes care experience.
Spring is a Sedum species of succulent plant, scientific name Sedum hirsutum ssp.baeticum 'winkleri', a miniature variety with small plants, green leaves, and the entire leaf surface covered with short villi. It has a small leaf tip. Spring blooms white five-pointed star flowers in clusters. It can cross-pollinate.
Spring has tiny succulent stems that will grow lateral branches but not very long. Clumping spring plants are very beautiful. The soil can be mixed with peat,珍珠岩 (perlite), and coal slag, approximately in a 1:1:1 ratio. Watering should be thorough when dry and not watered when not dry. There is no obvious dormant period and can be exposed to full sunlight. In summer, ensure ventilation and shading. Water 3 to 4 times a month, slightly on the edge of the pot to slowly get through the hot summer, maintaining the plant's roots from drying out due to excessive dryness. In winter, when the temperature is below 3 degrees, water should be gradually reduced, keeping the potting soil dry below 0 degrees, and trying to maintain no lower than -3 degrees. This way, it can safely survive the winter. Reduce watering in winter and increase it gradually in spring to prevent root rot.
There is a significant difference between north and south, and the methods of raising them at home and in greenhouses are different. However, spring is a relatively easy-to-grow variety, with no obvious pests and diseases. Simply sprinkle some furadan on the soil surface every summer and winter. Some flower enthusiasts may find the leaves turning yellow because the roots are a bit dry. As long as the moisture is adequate, the leaves won't turn yellow, but controlling the water a bit less will make the plants more beautiful. Spring cuttings easily grow lateral branches. If not cut, the old stems will slowly branch. To make it more beautiful, cut the top when it's about the right size to encourage side buds, making the plant clumping look more beautiful.
The main propagation methods include sowing, dividing, cutting the top, and leaf insertion.
