How to plant succulents
Let me share some small experiences about how to plant succulents and the cultivation techniques of succulents with you. Next, the site editor will introduce to the netizens.
Succulents, also known as succulent plants, refer to plants whose leaves are fat, juicy, and capable of storing a large amount of water among the three nutrient organs of roots, stems, and leaves. Because of their cute and small appearance and ability to purify the air, they are widely loved by everyone.
Planting methods for succulents:
1. The recently purchased succulents need to be removed from the pot. Before removing the pot, stop watering in advance to make it easier to remove the pot without damaging the roots.
2. Trim the dead and rotting roots, cut the roots a bit shorter, and place them in a shaded place to wait for the wounds to heal before planting them in the pot. If there are no dead or rotting roots, there is no need to trim the roots.
3. Choosing soil is the first step in planting, and also the most important one. You can choose soil with good breathability and drainage, such as peat soil, for planting. After potting, water less and place it in a shaded place to slow down the roots for two to three days, allowing it to adapt.
4. Succulents like to grow in environments with plenty of sunlight, but the amount of light needs to be adjusted according to the variety because different varieties will change color under sunlight, so the duration of sunlight needs to be controlled. In the summer, when sunlight is strong, it is necessary to provide shade for them.
5. When watering succulents, follow the principle of "watering more frequently but in small amounts, and only when the soil is dry and wet," to avoid waterlogging and rotting the roots. When watering, do not pour water directly on the roots and avoid watering the plant body.
6. The main pest of succulents is the red spider. When red spiders are found, you can use a 40% trichlorfon solution diluted 1000-1500 times to kill them.
7. Rot is a common disease in succulents. If the crown is rotting, cut off the rotten part and fill the wound with碎木炭 (charcoal pieces) and sulfur.
