How to prepare soil for beginners growing succulents
Many beginners are unsure of how to prepare soil for their succulents. Today, I will share several methods for preparing succulent soil. Let's take a look together.
How to prepare soil for succulents: Sedum succulent potting soil
Sedum succulents prefer loose and breathable soil. When preparing soil for sedum succulents, we can use a mixture of peat soil, river sand, and other granular soils. This type of soil has good breathability and does not easily accumulate water, which is beneficial for the growth of Sedum succulents.
Soil preparation for Aizoaceae succulents
The soil preparation method for Aizoaceae succulents is similar to that for Sedum succulents, except that the proportion of river sand can be slightly higher. This soil structure is more similar to their native environment and is beneficial for the growth of Aizoaceae succulents.
Twelve-roller type succulents
Twelve-roller type succulents are somewhat different from other succulents. In addition to using a certain proportion of peat soil during the seedling stage for succulents like玉露 (Jade Dew), 玉扇 (Jade Fan), and 玉寿 (Jade Longevity), other varieties can be grown entirely in granular soil. Common granular soils include red jade soil and volcanic rock, which are both suitable for preparing soil for twelve-roller type succulents.
Succulent cutting and seedling soil preparation
When cutting succulents or caring for them, it is necessary to use soil that is both breathable and has good water retention. Therefore, we can use a mixture of coconut bran, vermiculite, and river sand. This type of soil is both breathable and water-retaining, which is beneficial for the root growth of succulents.
