What to do if the succulents bought have no roots
If the succulents we bought have no roots, we need to let them root first, and then pot them. Next, the editor will introduce several methods for rooting succulents.
What to do if the succulents bought have no roots: Air rooting
The air rooting method is commonly used. First, we place the succulents in a dark and humid environment. When aerial roots grow out, we need to move the succulents to a dark environment. Since the roots do not like sunlight, succulents can grow more roots in the dark.
River sand rooting
River sand is very suitable for rooting succulents because it has good breathability and also some water retention ability. We keep the river sand slightly moist and then place the succulents on top of the river sand. After about a week, the roots of the succulents can grow out.
Water-induced rooting
First, prepare a transparent container, usually a plastic bottle will do, then fill the bottle with water, and soak the tail end of the succulent in the water, making sure not to let the leaves touch the water, otherwise the leaves will rot. To speed up the rooting process, we can add some rooting powder to the water. In about half a month to a month, the succulent can root.
No matter which rooting method we use, we should not place the succulents in an environment with too much sunlight because the succulents do not have roots yet and therefore cannot supplement water. An environment with too much sunlight can cause the water in the succulents to evaporate quickly, easily leading to dehydration and death. We should let the succulents gradually expose to direct sunlight after they have been potted and gone through the adaptation period and started growing normally. It's fine to keep them in an environment with scattered light before that.
