How to care for succulents? Just master these few methods, and the pot will be full of beauty.
Succulents should be plants that many flower enthusiasts can't resist, and they also have a very high ornamental value, loved by most flower enthusiasts. Moreover, there are many varieties of succulents, with various colors, and each succulent has its own unique beauty. However, although succulents are beautiful, many flower enthusiasts don't know how to cultivate them, and the succulents they grow always die for no reason, making them dare not cultivate them anymore. In fact, if you want succulents to grow well, you must master these key points. As long as you grasp them, cultivating succulents won't be a problem. Not only will they grow vigorously, but the succulents in the pot will also propagate, and one pot can be divided into several pots. Let me tell you about the cultivation methods of succulents.
1. Water control
If you want to grow succulents in the best condition at home, water control is a very important aspect. In our usual maintenance, if we wait until the pot surface is completely dry before watering, it will definitely affect the growth state of succulents. If you don't water for a long time, succulents will show signs of dehydration, and once dehydration occurs, the plant's resistance will decrease. If the problem is more serious, it may even lead to diseases and pests, or even death.
The correct watering method for succulents is to insert a wooden chopstick into the bottom of the pot when the pot surface starts to dry. If the chopstick is damp, there is no need to water. If there is no moisture on the chopstick, the succulent is short of water, and we need to water it immediately and thoroughly, without causing waterlogging. After watering, it needs to be placed in a well-ventilated area for cultivation, so that excess water can evaporate quickly.
2. Fertilizing
Many people are very serious when they first cultivate succulents, observing their growth almost every day, and fertilizing and watering them very carefully. Later, they start to neglect them, as if they are fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and the novelty has worn off. In fact, when cultivating succulents, it is not necessary to fertilize them every day. They also have a period for fertilizing. You can't use the fishing method to cultivate succulents, as the succulents will definitely not survive.
Actually, many succulents don't require a high amount of nutrients, and you can choose to fertilize or not. If you use loose and breathable soil when planting succulents at the beginning, then you only need to take good care of them in the future, and there is no need to fertilize them deliberately. If the succulents grow rapidly after a period of time, you can supplement them with some slow-release fertilizer to promote their growth.
3. Sunlight
Succulents need to supplement sufficient sunlight during their growth period. In spring, they can be placed outdoors all day to absorb sunlight. If there is rainy weather, they must be moved indoors to avoid waterlogging and rot. Supplementing sunlight for succulents is not possible in all seasons. In hot summers, they cannot be placed outdoors all day, as they may get sunburned. On hot days, they can be placed outdoors in the evening or in a sunny place indoors, so that the succulents will be plumper and in better condition.
