Succulent cultivation methods, how to raise succulents

1. Succulents like to grow in a dry soil environment, mainly loose and breathable sandy soil, because such soil drainage and air permeability are relatively good, which is more suitable for succulent growth.

2. It is very important to maintain succulents is to ensure the appropriate growth temperature, generally between 15 degrees and 25 degrees is the most suitable for its growth, but as long as the temperature is not higher than 35 degrees and not less than 5 degrees, most succulents will not enter the dormant period and will grow normally.

3. The succulent leaves are relatively thick, and there is a certain water storage capacity, so the requirements for water are not high, and under normal circumstances, it can be relatively frequent in spring and autumn, watering once a week or so, about half a month in summer, and once in a month or so in winter.

Succulent farming methods and techniques are as follows:

1. Potting soil conditions.

2. Lighting conditions.

3. Watering method.

4. Supplement nutrition.

When cultivating succulents, you first need to choose the right pot diagram, the diameter of the pot is preferably 3 4 cm larger than the diameter of the plant, and the height of the pot should not be too large, so as not to affect the normal breathing of the plant. It can be mixed with humus, garden soil, and vermiculite to make a substrate for cultivation, so that the succulent can grow vigorously.

Succulent regrowth requires more light and can be given appropriate astigmatism. In spring, autumn and winter, all-weather light can be given, and the duration of receiving light per day should not be less than 8 hours, and during the maintenance period, the ambient temperature should be controlled between 20 and 30.

When watering the succulent on a daily basis, you need to soak all the soil, after the first watering, you need to wait until the soil surface is white before watering the second time, if the soil is in a wet state, you need to stop watering to avoid water accumulation and root rot.

Succulents have less demand for nutrients during the growth period, and do not need to apply too much fertilizer during the maintenance period, generally only need to apply diluted nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer every half a month during the vigorous growth period, so that the succulents can absorb balanced nutrients and grow more vigorously.

1. Flower soil: Succulents generally like flower soil with more nutrients and good permeability. Generally speaking, garden soil, humus soil and some river sand can be used to prepare its flower soil, and more suitable preparation methods can also be used according to its variety.

However, it is necessary not to use heavy soil, otherwise it will affect the growth of its root system.

2. Watering: Because there are many varieties of it, some are dormant in summer and some are dormant in winter. Therefore, it is necessary to take the appropriate watering method according to the breed raised. You can water more during the growing season, and you need to control the water during the dormant period.

3. Temperature: Overall, its optimal growth temperature is 15-28. There are some varieties of chain fu jujube that prefer a warm environment, so you should pay attention to keeping them warm in winter. And there are some varieties that prefer a cool environment, so you should pay attention to cooling them down in the summer.

There are many ways to reproduce it, and there will be some different methods depending on the breed. However, cuttings are used more, whether it is branch cuttings or leaf cuttings. This shed demolition method has a high success rate and is simple to operate, so it is more recommended.

Generally speaking, it is more susceptible to disease, so it is best to keep it in a well-ventilated place to reduce the chance of it getting sick.

Soil: Succulents are suitable for water permeability, air permeability, dry, sterile and insect-free soil. Lighting:

It should be sufficient, shaded in the summer, and full sun in other seasons. Moisture: Pour sparingly and thoroughly.

Temperature: 12-28, more than 8 in winter, below 35 in summer. Fertilizer:

Thin fertilizer is applied frequently, and fertilization is reduced during the dormant period.

1. Soil. Succulents are suitable for using soil with good water permeability, good air permeability, dry, sterile and insect-free. Beginners recommend using a perlite and coir mix (1:

2) to make substrates, suitable for the growth needs of most succulents. For the dry climate of the north, it is necessary to increase the moisture retention properties of the soil; For wet and rainy southern weather, it is necessary to improve the drainage performance of the soil.

2. Illumination. Succulents need plenty of light to grow, and too little or dark light can lead to growth. When raising succulents indoors, it is advisable to place them in a sunny window or balcony.

If the temperature is too high in summer, you can use a shading net with a shading rate of 70% and avoid the sun exposure at 12-15 o'clock; In other seasons, you can get enough sunlight.

Succulent. 3. Moisture.

The principle of watering succulents is to water less and thoroughly, so as to avoid root rot and black rot caused by water accumulation in the pot; Too much water is also not conducive to the shape of the succulent, making it grow. In spring and autumn is the succulent growing season, and the best time to water is when the lower leaves start to dry up; Summer is the succulent dormant season, and spray watering is the main way to keep the surface of the potting soil moist; The frequency of watering should be reduced in winter.

4. Temperature. Succulents are native to South Africa, and the most suitable growing temperature is between 12 and 28 degrees Celsius, so spring and autumn are the most vigorous seasons for succulents. To raise succulents at home, ensure that the room temperature is above 8 degrees Celsius in winter and below 35 degrees Celsius in summer, and pay attention to ventilation and cooling.

Succulent. 5. Fertilizer.

Succulents have a low dependence on fertilizers, but moderate fertilization has a good effect on their healthy growth. Succulent fertilization follows the principle of thin fertilizer and frequent application, and changing pots in spring and autumn is the best time for fertilization; During the dormant period, fertilization must be stopped to avoid root rot.

6. Summary. The most important aspect of raising succulents is to maintain sufficient light, moderate watering, and friends who raise them at home should pay attention to the room temperature should not be too low or too high, and use culture soil with good water permeability and air permeability.

1. Light, succulents are very light-loving, and should be placed in a well-lit environment during the maintenance period and bask in the sun. Spring, autumn and winter can be safely exposed to light, and the condition of the flesh will be better and more beautiful if there is enough light. The light in summer is too strong, so it should be avoided in time and not exposed to the sun, otherwise it is easy to get sunburned.

If it is left in the shade for a long time, the flesh will grow.

2. Temperature, succulents like a warm environment, have high requirements for temperature, high temperature resistance and cold resistance are not high, so the temperature should be well controlled during the maintenance period. The temperature suitable for them to grow is between 15 and 25. When the high temperature exceeds 30 in summer, ventilation must be strengthened.

In winter, when the temperature is lower than 10, it is necessary to move indoors and control the temperature reasonably, otherwise it will be frostbitten.

3. Watering, succulents contain a lot of water, strong drought tolerance, watering during the maintenance period does not need to be too diligent, it is best to replenish water according to the method of seeing dry and wet. When watering, you need to water along the edge of the pot, or use the soaking method, and do not leave water at the core of the leaves. In addition, many succulent varieties in summer and winter have entered the dormant stage, and the water should be strictly controlled, and the overall state should be kept dry to avoid root rot.

4. Fertilization, succulents basically do not need to be specially topdressed during the growth period, and the nutrients in the soil can meet the growth needs. However, if the soil used is poor, it is necessary to properly top dressing in the peak growing season, and the diluted liquid fertilizer can be watered once a month apart.

5. Soil, pay attention to the soil used when breeding succulents. The soil must be soft, breathable and permeable. When mixing soil, it is necessary to mix more granular soil, so as to avoid water accumulation.
