China is usually divided into two major regions, north and south. The biggest difference between the south and the north is temperature. The southern region has higher temperatures, high humidity, and more rainfall, while the northern region has lower temperatures, less rainfall, and a dry climate. These two completely different regions have created different types of plants. For succulents, they are more suitable for maintenance in the southern region.
The main factor to consider in raising succulents is temperature. With temperature, there will naturally be sunlight. If these two points are met, succulents can be raised well. In the southern region, succulents can be raised outdoors all year round. Even in the low temperatures of winter, there is no need to worry about freezing damage to the succulents, as they can still survive outdoors.
In the northern region, the biggest problem faced when raising succulents is the very low temperature in winter. Succulents must be raised indoors, and they must be moved inside the house during winter. Otherwise, they will all perish, even the most cold-tolerant succulents cannot withstand temperatures below -10 degrees.
The climate conditions in the north are very dry, and the evaporation rate of water is also very fast. If the watering frequency is not properly controlled when raising succulents, excessive water can cause rotting, and insufficient water can lead to leaf wrinkles. However, there is also a benefit to raising succulents in the north. In autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, making it easy for outdoor succulents to show good condition.
There are differences in raising succulents between the north and south regions.
The division of north and south regions is usually based on the Yangtze River. The climate in the north of the Yangtze River is generally dry. For the planting of succulents, it is mainly based on peat soil. Remember this point. In the northern region, if you want succulents to have higher resistance and plumper leaves, it is recommended to use particle soil for planting, with peat soil being the most suitable.
The climate in the north is completely different from that in the south. The south can use particles due to the high humidity, and it is not a problem to use particles. However, the dry climate in the north will cause succulents to become thinner and smaller when raised with particles. Therefore, the proportion of soil should be more than 50% peat soil, and even all peat soil can be used for planting. Most of the succulents in my home are planted with all peat soil.
In excessively dry air, one problem when raising succulents is that it is not easy for new roots to grow. The only solution is to plant with peat soil, which can retain moisture and allow the roots of succulents to grow better.
When planting plants, you must have your own ideas and not just follow online tutorials. In fact, looking around, all greenhouses use peat soil when cultivating succulents, which shows the importance of peat soil for the maintenance of succulents. Basically, no merchants will use particles mixed with succulents, highlighting the importance of peat soil.
