How to grow succulents? Master these methods, and you'll have an abundance of beautiful plants.
Succulents are plants that many gardening enthusiasts can't resist, and they also have a high ornamental value, making them very popular among gardeners. Moreover, there are many varieties of succulents, with various colors, and each has its unique beauty. However, although succulents are beautiful, many gardeners don't know how to cultivate them properly, and their plants often die for no apparent reason, making them reluctant to try again. In fact, if you want succulents to thrive, you must master these key points. As long as you grasp them, cultivating succulents won't be a problem. They will not only grow vigorously but will also multiply, with one pot potentially dividing into several. Let me share the cultivation methods for succulent plants with you.
1. Water control
If you want to grow succulents in the best condition at home, water control is a crucial step. In our regular maintenance, if you wait for the soil surface to be completely dry before watering, it will definitely affect the growth of the succulents. If you don't water for a long time, the succulents will show signs of dehydration, and their resistance will decrease. In severe cases, they may even develop diseases or pests, or even die.
The correct watering method for succulents is to insert a wooden chopstick into the bottom of the pot when the soil surface starts to dry. If the chopstick is damp, there is no need to water. If the chopstick has no moisture, the succulent is short of water, and you should water it immediately, making sure to water thoroughly without causing waterlogging. After watering, place the plant in a well-ventilated area to dry out excess moisture quickly.

2. Fertilization
Many people are very serious about growing succulents for the first time, checking their growth almost every day and being diligent about watering and fertilizing. However, after a while, they start to neglect the plants, sometimes checking on them and sometimes not. The excitement fades. In fact, you don't need to fertilize succulents every day; they have a specific fertilizing period. Never use the "fishing" method to grow succulents, as this will certainly lead to failure.
Many succulents don't require a high amount of nutrients and can be grown without fertilization. If you use loose and breathable soil when planting succulents, careful maintenance is sufficient, and there's no need to fertilize. If the succulents grow rapidly after a period, you can supplement some slow-release fertilizer to promote their growth.
3. Sunlight
Succulents need adequate sunlight during their growth period. In spring, they can be placed outside all day to absorb sunlight. If it rains or is cloudy, they must be moved indoors to prevent rotting from waterlogging. Providing sunlight for succulents is not suitable for all seasons. In hot summers, they cannot be placed outside all day, as they may get sunburned. During hot weather, you can place them outside in the evening or in a well-lit area indoors to ensure they grow plump and healthy.
