Although succulents are easy to raise, they should not be left to fend for themselves. Raising many succulents still requires some skills.
1, lighting
Most succulents need plenty of sunshine. Sufficient ultraviolet rays are beneficial for succulents to grow thicker leaves, while insufficient ultraviolet rays can easily lead to sparse leaves. Therefore, it is best to allow plants to receive sunlight without shelter, but not blindly, but as long as possible when the surface temperature is 3 to 30 degrees Celsius in the spring and autumn period.
2. Temperature difference
We know that fruits grown in the environment with large temperature difference are sweeter and have higher sugar content. Similarly, the temperature difference is also very important in the maintenance of succulents. Although it can't make it sweet, it can make it more colorful! Bright colors are also an excellent viewing point for succulents. When the temperature difference between day and night is greater than 15 degrees Celsius, the color of succulents is better, so outdoor culture is better than indoor culture, and succulents in spring and autumn are more beautiful than succulents in Xia Dong.
3. Temperature
The indoor temperature of succulents should be controlled at about 15-28 degrees, which can generally meet this condition. The lowest can not exceed 5 degrees, and the highest can not be higher than 35 degrees. Therefore, when it is over 30 degrees in summer, most succulents need to be moved to a cool place indoors. It is best not to blow air conditioning in winter, and the indoor light is the best.
water
One secret of watering succulents is to dry them thoroughly and water them thoroughly. Don't water the basin until the soil is dry. Succulents don't like stagnant water. If the basin soil is wet for a long time, the roots can't get oxygen, and it is easy to die. Water must also be poured thoroughly at one time to let the roots absorb water. Drop a few drops every three or two days, not only the roots are not full, but also the basin soil is easy to produce various fungi due to long-term wetting.
5. Land
The basic requirements of most succulents for soil are loose and breathable, good drainage and water retention, containing a certain amount of humus, moderate particle size, no fine dust, weak acidity or neutrality. Therefore, when buying culture soil in the market, we should pay attention to choosing the right one. If you can mix the soil yourself, you can mix it with cinder, eggshell, brick, vermiculite, perlite and sapphire, but you should pay attention to screen out the dust.
Step 6 change the pot
Because succulents grow under artificial cultivation conditions, their roots are confined in flowerpots and it is difficult to spread freely. After a period of growth, the roots fill the whole flowerpot, which is not conducive to drainage and ventilation. And the soil in the flowerpot is limited. After continuous absorption and repeated watering by roots, nutrients are exhausted, which is not conducive to plant growth. Therefore, when plants grow to a certain stage, they must turn over the pots and change the soil. According to the variety and plant size, every 1? Change it every 2 or 3 years. For most varieties, pots are usually changed in the middle and late March, and ramet culture is carried out in combination with pot changing.
7. Insect repellent
Common insects on succulents are: red spider, scale insect and whitefly. Generally, the number of potted plants in China is small, so you can observe whether there are bugs by yourself. If the quantity is small, you can delete them manually. If there are a large number of insects, it is necessary to buy corresponding pesticides to help repel insects.
