【One】、Caring Experience for Echeveria 'Bai Lu' Succulents
1. During the growing period, 'Bai Lu' should be provided with ample light.
If it is too shaded, the plant will become loose and not compact, the leaves will be thin and long, and the transparency of the "window" will be poor. If the light is too strong, the leaves will not grow well and will appear light reddish-brown.
Strong direct sunlight can also burn the leaves, leaving unsightly scars. Plants grown in semi-shade have thick, plump leaves with high transparency.
2. Watering during the growing period should follow the principle of "water only when dry, and water thoroughly when watering".
'Bai Lu' should avoid waterlogging and must not be rained on, especially not for extended periods, to prevent root rot. However, it is also not suitable to let it dry out for too long. Otherwise, although the plant will not die, the leaves will become shriveled, and the color will be dull and lack vitality.
3. 'Bai Lu' prefers an environment with some humidity.
When the air is dry, it is often necessary to spray water on the plant and its surrounding environment to increase humidity. During the growing season, a transparent, colorless drink bottle with the top cut off can be used to cover the plant, allowing it to grow in a humid microenvironment.
This can make the leaves plump and increase the transparency of the "window". However, during the high-temperature summer season, the cover must be removed to prevent the plant from rotting due to stuffiness.
If you do not want to breed through pollination, you can remove the flower scape that appears during the growing period. Note that the flower scape should not be cut with scissors but should be pulled out by shaking it left and right to avoid leaving a residual flower stalk between the leaves, which could negatively affect the growth of new leaves.
