How to care for succulent pot plants
Main content introduction: Little experience in the maintenance of green plants, such as how to care for succulent pot plants and precautions for raising succulent plants, let's understand together.
Succulent plants come in many types and shapes, with various leaf shapes and plant forms differing greatly. Compared to other flower and plant pot plants, succulents generally have a smaller size, which can be cultivated in small pots or even on a small balcony, with no strict requirements for sunlight.
Especially for succulent plants in the Crassulaceae family, they are more robust and easy to care for. The color state of succulent plants also changes throughout the year. In the spring and autumn, when it is relatively cool and there is sufficient sunlight, the leaf color of many succulents will change, with some showing brighter colors along the edges of the leaves or even the entire leaf turning into a beautiful red, making the plant look more attractive and eye-catching after coloring.
Beginners in growing succulents do not need to choose high-end, rare, and expensive succulent plants. It's best to choose robust and easy-to-care-for succulents. Even common, inexpensive succulent plants can be beautiful if properly cared for. When they grow to overflow the pot and become old stakes, they are still very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
To grow succulents well, several basic things need to be done right. Naturally, each pot of succulent plants can be well cared for, maintaining a good state throughout the year, surviving the summer and winter smoothly, with a healthy growth and becoming more beautiful and likable over time. Watching them fresh and vigorous, with elegant plant forms really brings a good mood every day!
How to care for succulent pot plants
1. Good soil is very important for raising succulent plants
Although succulent plants can survive in sand, to make them grow more smoothly, stronger, and more beautiful, the soil is crucial. The potting soil should be loose, not sticky or compacted, and must be nutritious, well-draining, not prone to waterlogging or compacting, and well-aerated.
In addition, it should have certain nutrients, so when preparing the soil, add peat and decomposed leaf soil, and you can also add sandy soil, vermiculite, perlite, or pumice stone granular soil. The soil should not clump together when squeezed and should be rich in humus, allowing the succulent plants to continue growing and become fatter and more beautiful.
2. Light is very important for raising succulent plants
When the temperature is between 15 and 28 degrees Celsius, this temperature is most suitable for the growth of succulent plants and is also the time when they grow fastest. During this period, you can increase sunlight exposure, appropriately raise them outdoors, and also supplement nutrients, giving a small amount of fertilizer, such as organic fertilizer, slow-release fertilizer, or chemical fertilizer. It is important to give a small amount and not too much at once, nor is it necessary to fertilize frequently.
