Planting succulents, master these points, and even beginners can make them plump and juicy
Many flower enthusiasts, like small flowers, plant their first pot of flowers as succulents, which have captured the hearts of many with their plump appearance. Therefore, almost every experienced flower enthusiast has their own set of methods for cultivating succulents. However, for beginners, it is not that simple. Flower enthusiasts who are new to the hobby may find it challenging to grow a healthy pot of succulents. Therefore, today, small flowers are sharing some tips on growing succulents, hoping to make them plump and juicy and help everyone.
1. Light
Everyone knows that no plant can survive without light, and succulents are no exception. Without light, they cannot perform photosynthesis, and over time, they will grow weak and spindly, similar to "bean sprouts," and the luster of their leaves will also gradually fade. Therefore, if you want them to grow well, you must pay attention to light. Most types of succulents have their growing season in spring and autumn, and during this period, you should ensure they receive plenty of light. Generally, they can be exposed to full-day light, but during the extremely hot summer and the silent snowy winter, you need to take measures to protect them from the cold and shade. These two seasons are extremely unsuitable for the growth of succulents: extreme heat and extreme cold. If not paid attention to, they can easily dry up or freeze to death.
2. Soil
Generally, succulents prefer to grow in dry soil environments, so the soil is usually made up of loose and breathable nutrient-rich soil. You can use pearl rock, northeast pine needle soil, and stone chips in a 5:3:1 ratio to prepare the soil for them. The resulting soil has excellent drainage and aeration, which is very suitable for the growth of succulents. Additionally, everyone should note that the soil that comes with the succulents bought from the market must be changed. Choose a warm day to do this, otherwise, there may be no abnormal signs in the short term, but over time, it will lead to poor development.

3. Nutrients
Succulents do not have high requirements for fertilizer and can use some compound fertilizers with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It is essential to dilute the fertilizer before application, or high concentrations can cause root burn. However, for mature plants, the use of nitrogen fertilizer should be cautious as it can lead to excessive growth. Of course, the specific approach depends on the variety. Additionally, phosphorus fertilizer is very important, as this trace element and bio-fermented fertilizer can help achieve a balanced diet.
