How to cultivate the just-purchased succulents

Some friends who buy succulents for the first time don't know how to cultivate them after purchasing. Today, let's learn about it together.

Don't rush to pot the just-purchased succulents

When we bring succulents home, we shouldn't rush to pot them because the roots may have some issues after a long transportation. We need to inspect the roots first, and if there are any problems, we should trim the roots. After handling them, we can pot the succulents.

Don't rush to water after potting

After potting the newly purchased succulents, don't rush to water them. Since succulent plants are highly drought-resistant, and after potting, they need to go through the acclimatization period. During this period, the succulents won't absorb the water, and excessive watering may lead to root rot. Therefore, we should water the succulents only after they have fully acclimatized.

Don't expose to direct sunlight

After potting the succulents, don't let them be exposed to direct sunlight. Because during the acclimatization period, the roots cannot absorb water. If placed in the sun, the water will evaporate, and the succulents won't be able to replenish the water, leading to dehydration and death. Therefore, wait until the succulents have acclimatized before gradually exposing them to sunlight.

After purchasing the succulents, we should first inspect them to see if there are any issues with the leaves and roots. If there are any problems, we should trim them promptly. After potting the succulents, don't immediately water them excessively because the trimmed succulents will have wounds that can easily rot upon contact with water. Also, don't let the succulents be exposed to direct sunlight immediately after potting. Wait until the succulents have fully acclimatized before slowly exposing them to direct sunlight.

The above[] introduces some tips on how to cultivate just-purchased succulents. I hope this article can be of some help to you!
