What are the nuances of planting succulents
After preparing the soil, in order to increase the nutrition of the soil, we can add a little slow-release fertilizer in the pot, which has a higher content of nitrogen and potassium and is suitable for succulents. Sprinkle a little in your potting soil and mix it well.
I have shared with you the handling skills for succulents we bought before. After handling the succulents, how should we plant them to make them adapt better? Today, let's teach you about the soil preparation and planting methods for succulents.
1. Soil selection
You can buy some special succulent soil to plant, or you can mix it at home. When mixing soil, using a ratio of peat soil to particle soil of five to five or seven to three is fine.
If it is a young seedling, it is recommended to use a ratio of five to five. If it is a large seedling, we can use the ratio of seven to three. After mixing, it is best to choose to plant with moist soil, slightly spraying the potting soil to a slightly damp state. This way, we don't need to water it to settle the roots, and it is conducive to the faster growth of new roots.
2. Fertilization
After preparing the soil, in order to increase the nutrition of the soil, we can add a little slow-release fertilizer in the pot, which has a higher content of nitrogen and potassium and is suitable for succulents. Sprinkle a little in your potting soil and mix it well.
3. Pest control
After mixing well, if you mixed the soil yourself, there may be eggs in the soil. You can add a little white insecticide to the soil, which can kill the pests in the potting soil, making it safer to plant.
4. Subsequent treatment
Let's choose a suitable pot. My pot is a terracotta pot, which has very good breathability. Put some ceramsite at the bottom of the pot as a drainage layer, then add some soil to the pot and put your succulent in and fill it.
Compact the soil a bit to make the roots and soil fit more closely, which is beneficial for the growth of the roots. After planting, if you want it to be more beautiful and convenient, you can put some decorative stones on it, and then it is planted.
Pay attention that since we used moist soil to plant, there is no need to water it to settle the roots. Then put it in a shady and well-ventilated place, and it can adapt and take root.
