I started three pots last year, and I still feel very good. It is one of the best varieties of all succulents.
I'm from Zhejiang in the south, so I'll just talk about the whole process of my southern culture.
1, cut roots and dry seedlings.
The way I buy is basically online shopping. Generally, after I buy it, I will clean up the meat seedlings, then trim all the unhealthy roots and shorten the long main roots a little. The advantage of this is that the roots will be stronger and healthier in the later stage.
After pruning, put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry for about two days. This will allow the injured root to heal naturally without infecting the rotten root.
2, with soil
Like most meat, raw stone flowers can be mixed with peat soil and granules, and it is better to have more than 50% granules. Other messy pH values are not effective.
Step 3 serve food in a basin
Take a suitable vessel, preferably with a hole at the bottom, spread a layer of large particles (stones can also be used) to strengthen drainage and flood control, then plant it normally, water it once after planting, and then put it in a cool and ventilated place for about a week. At this time, new roots almost grow out, and you can maintain them normally.
4. Daily maintenance
Raw stone flowers must wait until they are dry before watering, otherwise it will look ugly and it will be a trivial matter. If you water it too much, it is easy to rot the whole tree, and if you find it, it will be irreparable.
Generally speaking, the original stone flower is still very drought-tolerant, even if you wait until the edges are wrinkled and the plants are soft before watering.
In addition to hot weather, we should get more sunshine in other seasons. The weather in the south will not freeze as long as it is not exposed to the sun in winter.
In short, as long as the raw stone flowers are watered permeable and then watered, they would rather be dry than waterlogged, properly ventilated and sunny, pay attention to shading, strengthen ventilation and control water, and there will be no problem in summer.
