After the succulents sprout
Today, the editor will explain the related knowledge of succulents. After the succulents sprout, read on!
First of all, the temperature for sowing Sedum seeds must not exceed 25 degrees. Strictly speaking, 20-15 degrees is the best sowing temperature. In summer, it will enter a dormant period, so we choose autumn as the best time to sow Sedum. We know the sowing temperature, and next, let's talk about the soil preparation. Many新手 friends don't know how to prepare this sowing soil. Usually, 1-3 mm granular soil is selected for sowing, mixed with some peat, with a ratio of 1:1. Keep the soil breathable and appropriately water-retaining. After the soil is prepared and mixed evenly, add water, put it in a container, and put it in the microwave for 5 minutes on high heat, then take it out and let it cool. You can also spray the pot soil with carbendazim directly and then start sowing.
Here I remind you that Sedum seeds are extremely small, so small that it's almost impossible to tell whether it's a seed, dust, or something else. With such small seeds, how can we sow them? It's very simple, find a clean toothpick, dip one end in water, stick to the seeds, and then gently drag them to the surface of the potting soil. This method is often used and is called "dot sowing". After all the seeds are dot-sown into the pot, cover the lid. If you don't have a special sowing box, wrap the pot with plastic wrap and then use a toothpick to make some small holes in the plastic wrap for ventilation. Then place the pot in a shady place where there is scattered light. Usually, in about a week, the seedlings will start to sprout. Some seedlings may sprout earlier or later, which is normal. Just wait patiently.
After the succulents sprout, open the lid every night for half an hour for ventilation, then cover it again. When the seedlings are mostly out, take the lid off at night, place the pot in a cool and ventilated place where scattered light can shine in. At this time, be sure not to place the pot in direct sunlight, as many flower friends have suffered such losses and the seedlings have all been burned by the sun. Usually, the seedlings will have true leaves in about 1 month, with different varieties having different timing. At this time, pay attention to whether the soil in the pot is dry. Don't let the seedlings run out of water, and do not overwater, as waterlogging can easily cause the seedlings to rot.
Keep the potting soil of the succulent seedlings moist during the seedling stage. Generally, after a few months, Sedum seedlings become very cute. At this time, you cannot be careless and must pay attention to lighting and the moisture of the potting soil. I live in Guangzhou, and I believe everyone knows the climate of Guangzhou. Most of the year is very hot, especially the long and hot summers, with high humidity, sultry heat, and temperatures sometimes reaching nearly 40 degrees. Not to mention the seedlings can't stand it, even people are about to faint from the heat. How do Sedum seedlings survive the summer? I'll tell you two key points. If you master them, you can absolutely survive the summer safely! First, you must shade the seedlings and place them where direct sunlight cannot reach, such as a north-facing balcony. The most crucial thing is ventilation! Ventilation must be good. This way, the seedlings can safely survive the entire summer! Should we water during this season? Of course, we should water, but the watering interval should be longer. Find a cooler evening, water the pot thoroughly, and by morning, it will look slightly moist but not waterlogged. That's it. If the pot soil is damp in the morning, then I tell you, there's a problem with your soil preparation.
Seedlings don't like to grow during this season, and all we can do is wait patiently for autumn!
