Introduction: The small experience of raising succulents to grow well can definitely bring you help. Let's understand it together!
How to care for succulents to promote their growth
During the transition period from late spring to early summer, we need to take three main points to care for succulents to ensure they grow well and avoid certain problems. As the temperature continues to rise, we must reduce the amount of watering for succulents. Once the daily temperature reaches 30 degrees, they will enter a dormant period, and their roots may become dry.
During the transition period from late spring to early summer, we need to take three main points to care for succulents to ensure they grow well and avoid certain problems. I will share the three main points with you today.
Due to the fast growth of succulents in the previous period, we must fertilize them to meet their growth needs, which will promote the growth of new leaves and branches and make the entire plant vigorous.
1. Nutrition
Usually, we use this kind of all-nutrient water-soluble fertilizer, which is a long-acting fertilizer. We apply it once a month, and during regular watering, we add a little short-acting fertilizer for succulents. This combination of long-acting and short-acting fertilizers can meet the growth needs of succulents, making them grow very vigorously.
But as we enter late spring and temperatures rise, we should extend the fertilization period for succulents. This will prevent fertilizer damage and allow the succulents to grow normally.
2. Water
As the temperature continues to rise, we must reduce the amount of watering for succulents. Once the daily temperature reaches 30 degrees, they will enter a dormant period, and their roots may become dry.
Many enthusiasts believe that when the roots of succulents become dry, they are dead. However, they are not dead; they have just entered a dormant period. By controlling the amount of water, we can prevent root rot. If the leaf heart of the succulent becomes watery, it indicates that we have watered too much.
3. Ventilation
During this period, there is a lot of rain, which reduces water evaporation. However, due to high humidity, the soil in the succulent pots is prone to bacteria or the occurrence of eggs. We need to provide good ventilation, open the windows, and allow outside air to flow in to reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests, or we can also prevent pests.
The insecticide commonly used to prevent pests, pymetrozine, is both a systemic and contact insecticide. It is very convenient to use in homes. Just sprinkle it on the surface of the potting soil, and apply it once every 40 days. This effectively prevents the occurrence of diseases and pests. Once sprinkled on the surface of the potting soil, it dissolves quickly after watering and is absorbed by the plant, reducing the damage caused by diseases and pests.
