How to care for Blue Bean
A comprehensive introduction to the knowledge of the Blue Bean, a succulent plant, including how to care for it. Keep reading for more details!
Blue Bean is a relatively rare variety of succulent plants, so some friends who buy it don't know how to care for it. Here is the experience of my friend Dou Nai in caring for Blue Bean, for reference. The Blue Bean succulent plant was bought from Simida last June and it was a very cute small cluster when it arrived, with no heads falling off during transportation and even came with two flower spikes.
Because it was time to survive the summer and to conserve nutrients, I decisively cut off the flower spikes.
But this thing immediately entered a dormant state after coming home. I didn't dare to water it much in the summer, only slightly moisturizing the edge of the pot every 10 days or so.
In early September, when the capital entered autumn, it still showed no signs of revival. So I pulled it out and checked. For more than two months, it had not grown any new roots!
It looked more and more wilted, so I transplanted it into a small black pot, hoping the situation would improve.
The small black pot is indeed a good tool for root development. In just 5 days, with some increased watering, Blue Bean finally woke up!
In October, it started to be cute, with all 9 heads successfully gaining weight and the pink color appeared.
This January, after freezing and sunbathing, Blue Bean became rosy, with leaves growing denser and 6 small heads sprouting from the roots.
Summary:
Blue Bean actually likes water more than other succulents and can be watered a bit more.
The frequency is to water when the soil surface is dry, and it is not particularly frost-resistant in winter, so it's best not to let the temperature drop below 5°C.
Blue Bean has obvious summer dormancy, so you must control the watering, moistening the edge of the pot every 10 days or so.
It is not recommended to buy Blue Bean in summer because it is dormant and difficult to root and adapt to the pot.
If you buy it, it is recommended to buy a cluster rather than a single head or cut head.
Because this plant is small and delicate, it easily drops leaves, and clusters are more likely to survive.
The above is the full content of how to care for Blue Bean (experience version), hoping it is helpful to green plant enthusiasts!
