Is it easy to grow succulents in Shandong?
Today, the editor will elaborate on whether it is easy to grow succulents in Shandong and provide an introduction to the characteristics of green plants and flowers in Shandong. Detailed content will be shared next.
It is well known that the environment has a decisive impact on the growth of plants. Taking the plants sold in the flower market as an example, most of the flower varieties are cultivated in the southern region, and only a small part is cultivated in the northern region. The climate conditions in the southern region are excellent for plant growth, especially Yunnan, which is as warm as spring, and the plants cultivated there are widely sold at home and abroad.
In an environment with suitable temperature, plants grow faster and basically have no dormant period throughout the year. Yunnan has the largest flower wholesale base in China, the Dounan Flower Market, which is busy all year round. Most of the fresh flowers come from Yunnan, China.
The Yunnan region not only produces plants but is also the main producing area for succulents. It can even be said to be the birthplace of succulents. The cheap succulents we can buy today are inseparable from Yunnan. The mass production and cultivation have rapidly reduced the price of succulents, allowing one to buy an entire balcony of succulents for just a few tens of yuan.
In addition to this is Zhangzhou in Fujian and Weifang in Shandong, which are also producing areas for succulents, with a considerable output. It is evident that the southern region has more advantages in cultivating plants. In the north, the temperature is low in autumn and winter, and plants must be moved to greenhouses to survive the winter safely.

Succulents cultivated in different regions have different quality, mainly influenced by the overall environment. Fast growth of succulents is not necessarily a good thing, but for merchants, rapid growth allows succulents to be marketed earlier, thereby gaining more profits. Through greenhouses, succulents can grow quickly and be marketed earlier, creating more profit margins.
Letting succulents grow rapidly leads to an increased mortality rate when consumers bring them home. Succulents directly coming out of greenhouses have a mortality rate as high as 70% in our homes, as they are unable to meet the original growth environment, temperature, humidity, and lighting requirements, leading to a slow death of the succulents.
Raising succulents is not something that should be rushed. It must be done step by step and gradually because succulents naturally grow at a very slow pace. Artificially changing some factors to make them grow rapidly results in weaker resistance and higher mortality rates in succulents.
