The cultivation method of Sessile Echeveria
Do you know anything about it? Knowledge about the succulent plant Sessile Echeveria, the cultivation method of Sessile Echeveria, and a comprehensive introduction follows.
The cultivation method of Sessile Echeveria mentioned in this article is based on the experience and insights of flower enthusiasts. Due to the climatic differences in various regions, it is necessary to adjust according to your own environment. The overall idea is not to worry about soil matching or pot selection when cultivating plants. Many people have successfully cultivated them using the most common garden soil.
For example: If the soil is not breathable, you can pair it with a breathable pot; if the pot is not breathable, you can use breathable soil; if there is poor lighting, you can control the amount and frequency of watering.
In essence, growing flowers is about "maintaining the balance of a small world," and all factors can be adjusted artificially to meet the plant's growth needs.
Plants constantly adjust their growth in response to different factors such as temperature, light, and water. Therefore, what you need to do is to be flexible and adaptable.
1. Soil mixture: (3-5mm) red jade soil + pumice + orchid stone + river sand each one part, particle soil has no nutrients, add half a part of peat or a few slow-release fertilizers. (Pumice is essential, and if not available, use perlite instead).
2. Pot selection: Pots should not be too large or too deep, square or round pots with dimensions of 7x7, 8x8 cm are suitable. Material choice is flexible in the north, while in the south, try to use earthenware pots to prevent issues during the plum rain season.
3. Acclimatization period: Plant in moist soil without watering, place it behind the glass of a south-facing balcony to dry, after one week, give a small amount of water. Avoid watering plants that have not acclimatized as it can cause rot. Initially, the plant will continuously consume old leaves and new leaves will sprout, indicating that it has started to acclimatize.
4. Lighting: Full exposure in spring and autumn, keep warm in winter and protect from rain in summer, and also expose to the sun in other seasons. (Sessile Echeveria does not fear sun exposure and the more it is exposed to sunlight, the more colorful it becomes).
5. Precautions: Plants that are not adapted to the outdoor environment may have problems if suddenly placed outside. They should first be gradually acclimated to sunlight by being placed near a glass window indoors for a few weeks before being moved outside.
6. Watering: There is no fixed watering schedule due to the different environmental conditions in various regions. The principle is to water when you see the plant's top showing wrinkles, and water thoroughly. Do not water at other times until the next set of wrinkles appears.
7. The process of transforming from etiolation to a perfect plant form starts from the acclimatization period with the consumption of old leaves and the sprouting of new leaves. Due to the inhibition of etiolation by sunlight in the outdoor environment, new leaves will generally be of the same height, meaning they transform from the etiolated state seen in the first photo.
