The article will discuss how to care for succulents and share methods and techniques for growing them, including content related to green plants and flowers. Please see the detailed introduction below.
If flower enthusiasts want to grow succulents thicker than their finger, they must read this tutorial!
Strict water control: Succulents have strong drought resistance, and watering during cultivation should follow the "dry-wet" method, which is beneficial for nutrient accumulation and easy to form old stakes.
Reasonable temperature control: It is best to provide a temperature of 15-25℃ during usual times, with a certain temperature difference between day and night, which makes it easier to grow old stakes.
Adequate lighting: Succulents love light and should be exposed to plenty of sunlight to promote better photosynthesis and accumulate more nutrients.
Reasonable pruning: Timely cut off the part that grows too much to form multiple heads easily.
I. Strict water control
To grow succulents into old stakes, strict water control is necessary during maintenance. Succulents have strong drought resistance and do not tolerate waterlogging. Watering should follow the principle of "no dry, no watering," which does not hinder the growth of succulents and promotes nutrient accumulation, making the roots and stems thicker and easier to form old stakes. If watering is frequent during cultivation and the soil is moist, the growth rate of succulents will accelerate, easily causing etiolation, becoming thin and weak, which will affect growth.
II. Reasonable temperature control
Succulents prefer warm environments and require reasonable temperature control during cultivation, keeping the temperature stable between 15-25℃. It is best to have a temperature difference between morning and evening, which is conducive to forming a good state and making the succulents more beautiful, as well as promoting nutrient accumulation and easy growth of old stakes. Note that during low temperatures in winter, succulents should be moved indoors, preferably into a room with heating. In summer, when temperatures are too high, they should be moved to a cool and well-ventilated environment.
III. Adequate lighting
Succulents love sunlight and should be placed in a well-lit environment during cultivation. They can be exposed to full sunlight in early spring, late autumn, and winter. Adequate lighting helps succulents form a good state more easily and promotes better photosynthesis, accumulating more nutrients and making it easier to grow old stakes. In late spring, early autumn, and summer, the sunlight is very strong, so shading measures should be taken to avoid sunburn. If they are often kept in a shaded environment, succulents can easily etiolate and fail to form a good state, becoming thin and weak, affecting overall growth.
IV. Reasonable pruning
To grow succulents into old stakes or multiple heads, pruning is necessary. It is best to cut off the part that grows too much, allowing nutrients to be more concentrated and promoting multiple heads from the pruning site, slowly forming a multi-head state. Note that the parts cut off can be dried for the wound to heal and then propagated through cutting, which can cultivate new plants.
