Online shopping has made our lives convenient, saving us a lot of trouble, but at the same time, it can lead to many issues. Many flower enthusiasts like to purchase succulents online because they are cheaper, allowing us to buy twice as much for the same price. However, since we can't see the actual items, it's inevitable that there will be some problems.
The prices of succulents online vary greatly, from a few cents to several hundred dollars. Most people still buy the ones that cost only a few cents each. When they arrive, the leaves may have fallen off, leaving them bare. If not saved in time, the survival rate is very low. So, what should we do with the succulents we buy online?
1. Count the succulents and clean the soil
Usually, the succulents we buy are shipped without soil. After receiving them, the roots will inevitably have some soil left on them. It's essential to clean the original soil from the roots in clean running water.
2. Arrange the leaves

Arranging the leaves means placing broken or fallen leaves in a separate container. Some broken leaves that are still attached to the mother plant can be pulled off directly, allowing the succulents to be spread evenly.
3. Trim the roots in sequence
To help the succulents grow better and faster, at least half of the roots should be trimmed. Cut off any broken or yellow roots with scissors. Don't hesitate to cut them off; it's for the benefit of the mother plant to root faster.
4. Wash and disinfect
After trimming the roots, wash them again under running water and then dilute potassium permanganate with water at a ratio of 1:500 (one bottle of water with a capful of potassium permanganate solution). Dip the succulent roots in a small amount of disinfectant solution and place them in a shaded area to air-dry naturally.
