What does it mean for succulents to show their state?
The editor will tell you some knowledge about succulents, what it means for succulents to show their state, and let's follow the editor to see the specific content!
New friends who have just started gardening may not know what it means for succulents to show their state. In fact, this refers to a description of the latest state of succulents, because succulents do not look the same all year round. In autumn, when the temperature difference is large, most succulents will show a different state.
Generally speaking, succulents show green during the growing period, and in autumn, when the temperature difference is large and sunlight is enhanced, succulents will show red, pink, or red-edged states, which is what it means for succulents to show their state. It's similar to the leaves of maple trees turning red in autumn.
Let's take a look at the illustration of succulents showing their state (Fireworks):
The illustration of Fireworks in the growing period is mainly green.
The illustration of Fireworks starts to show red as the temperature drops and the temperature difference increases.
The red color of the Fireworks in the illustration is more obvious, and the red in the illustration is not the darkest; some friends have even better states.
Different succulents have different states when they show their state. The above images are just examples to help friends understand the process of succulents showing their state. The state of succulents mainly depends on large temperature differences and enhanced sunlight, and cannot be forced.
Some friends have translated foreign websites. Let's see how Koreans make succulents show their state, for reference:
2. Do Koreans have a secret for making their Sedum plants so colorful?
Answer: In terms of temperature, spray cold water when there is sufficient sunlight. Note that it's spraying, not watering, which will rot the plant. Just let the leaves evenly covered with water droplets. After sunlight, the temperature of the soil and leaves is very high, and spraying cold water at 0-5 degrees will absorb heat through evaporation, artificially creating a large temperature difference. Observing the update time of Korean blogs will reveal that the frequency of watering is quite high, and most plants have slight burn spots on their leaves, which is evidence of spraying water in strong sunlight.
In terms of sunlight, the most important prerequisite is to maximize sunlight exposure, or just creating a temperature difference is not enough.
Using soil, add some peat in the early stage to provide enough nutrients for the plant, and gradually change to nutrient-poor full-grain such as red jade, pearl rock, and vermiculite (do not add fertilizer). The growth rate will slow down but the aging rate of old leaves will also decrease, showing color.
3. Why is my succulent a liver color after being exposed to the sun, while others are bright pink?
Answer: Lack of dryness and small temperature differences. Sufficient sunlight combined with enough humidity can make the color more appealing. It seems like an unlikely condition, but it's simple and can be done by following the method for creating a temperature difference in point 2. If the growing environment has a large temperature difference, the plant will naturally produce dew droplets every morning.
The above is a comprehensive explanation of what it means for succulents to show their state, hoping it can solve your problems with green plants.
