Choose the right variety to provide the right growth environment, reasonable fertilization, timely pruning and reproduction method Succulent plants are loved by more and more plant lovers because of their unique shape and easy-to-maintain characteristics. The flowering of succulent plants adds a touch of bright color to them. How can we make succulent plants bloom smoothly? This article will give you a detailed introduction to the techniques of breeding and flowering succulent plants. There are many types of succulent plants to choose suitable varieties, and not all varieties can bloom. When selecting succulent plants, priority should be given to those varieties that are easy to bloom, such as Crassulaceae, Archeaceae, Cactus, etc. These varieties bloom more. Common, and the flowers are rich in color and high ornamental value. Provide a suitable growth environment 1. Lighting: Succulent plants like light, but avoid direct sunlight. During the breeding process, succulent plants should be ensured to receive 4-6 hours of scattered light every day. When high temperatures in summer, shade can be appropriately covered to avoid Leaf sunburn.
2. Temperature: The suitable temperature for the growth of succulent plants is 15-25℃. When the temperature in winter is low, succulent plants should be moved to indoor breeding to avoid frostbite.
3. Humidity: Succulent plants do not have high humidity requirements, but an overly dry environment will affect their growth. During the breeding process, indoor humidity can be appropriately increased, such as using a humidifier or placing hydroponics plants. Reasonable fertilization 1. Fertilization time: During the period of vigorous growth of succulent plants, compound fertilizers can be applied once a month. Before flowering, the amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be increased to promote flowering.
2. Fertilization method: Spread fertilizer evenly around succulent plants to avoid direct contact with leaves. After fertilization, water it in time to allow the fertilizer to fully penetrate. Timely pruning 1. pruning time: During the period of vigorous growth of succulent plants, prune withered leaves at the right time to promote the growth of new buds.
2. Pruning method: Use disinfected scissors to cut off the withered leaves from the roots to avoid infection. Breeding method 1. Individual propagation: Cut the branches of succulent plants from the mother plant, dry the wound, insert them into the soil, and grow independently after taking root.
2. Leaf insertion and propagation: Remove the leaves of the succulent plant, dry the wound, and lay them on the soil surface to keep the soil moist. After taking root, they can grow into new plants.
Through the above methods, I believe that your succulent plants will blossom smoothly. During the breeding process, you should also pay attention to the following points: 1. Be patient. It takes a certain amount of time for succulent plants to blossom, and don't rush for success.
2. Observe the growth status of succulent plants and adjust breeding methods in time.
3. During the breeding process, pay attention to preventing pests and diseases to ensure the healthy growth of succulent plants.
