Online shopping has facilitated our lives, saving us a lot of trouble, but it can also lead to many problems. Many flower enthusiasts like to buy succulents online because they are cheaper there, allowing us to buy twice as much for the same price. However, since we can't see the actual items, it's easy to encounter麻烦.
The prices of succulents online vary greatly, from a few cents to several hundred dollars. Most people still buy those that cost a few cents each, but when they arrive, the leaves have fallen off, leaving them bare. If not saved in time, the survival rate is very low. So, how should we deal with the succulents we buy online?
1. Check and clean the succulents and soil
Usually, the succulents we buy are shipped without soil, and there will inevitably be soil on the roots when they arrive. It's essential to wash the original soil from the roots clean in running water as soon as possible.
2. Organize the leaves

Organizing the leaves means placing some broken and fallen leaves in a separate container. Some broken leaves that are still attached to the mother plant can be pulled off directly, allowing the succulents to be spread evenly.
3. Trim the roots in sequence
To make the succulents grow better and faster, at least half of the roots of the succulents should be trimmed. Cut off the broken and yellowed roots with scissors. Don't hesitate; cutting them off is for the benefit of the mother plant, allowing it to root faster.
4. Wash and disinfect
After trimming the roots, wash them again under running water and then dilute potassium permanganate with water in a 1:500 ratio (one bottle of water with a capful of potassium permanganate solution). Dip the roots of the succulents in a small amount of disinfectant and place them in a shady place to air-dry naturally.
