Red-egg succulents, with their round and plump egg-shaped leaves and bright red color, have become a favorite among succulent enthusiasts. It is not easy to grow red-egg succulents well. This article will introduce you to the cultivation methods of red-egg succulents in detail, helping you easily master the unique "red-egg" succulent.

Choose the right soil

Red-egg succulents have strict soil requirements. You should choose sandy soil with good breathability and drainage. There are many specialized succulent soils on the market that you can choose according to your needs. You can also mix sand, garden soil, and decomposed leaf soil in a certain proportion to improve the soil's breathability and drainage.

Ensure sufficient lighting

Red-egg succulents enjoy sunlight and require at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day. In environments with insufficient lighting, the leaves of red-egg succulents will become thin and weak, and their color will fade. During cultivation, you should ensure that red-egg succulents can receive ample sunlight.

Water appropriately

Red-egg succulents do not require much water. Overwatering can cause root rot. Generally, watering once or twice a week is sufficient. When watering, you should avoid letting water drops directly fall on the leaves to prevent leaf rot. After watering, you should ventilate promptly to reduce soil moisture.

Maintain a suitable temperature

The suitable temperature range for the growth of red-egg succulents is 15-25°C. In the summer, when temperatures are high, you should provide shade to prevent leaf sunburn. In winter, when temperatures are low, you should move them indoors to keep them warm and prevent frostbite.

Fertilize reasonably

Red-egg succulents need moderate fertilization during the growing season to provide sufficient nutrients. You can use special liquid fertilizers for succulents and dilute them according to the instructions. The fertilizing frequency is once a month, and you should avoid over-fertilizing to prevent leaf scorching.

Prevent and treat pests and diseases

Red-egg succulents are prone to pest and disease infestations, such as leaf spot and scale insects. During cultivation, you should regularly inspect the plants. Once pests or diseases are found, you should take timely measures, such as spraying with specialized insecticides or using physical control methods, like removing eggs with a cotton swab.

In the process of growing red-egg succulents, you should pay attention to the details of soil, lighting, watering, temperature, fertilization, and pest and disease prevention and treatment. As long as you take good care of them, your red-egg succulents will surely grow robustly and showcase their unique charm.
