In the spring, a lot of soil can be used for succulents, which soil is better?

You can configure the soil yourself, mix it with peat, river sand, and granular soil in accordance with the ratio of 3:1:1, and the granular soil can be made with perlite and vermiculite, and the soil should be disinfected and sterilized before changing the soil, otherwise it is easy to rot.

Use peat soil, humus soil, deer swamp soil, red jade soil, and Dahan soil, these soils are relatively easy to use.

There is more water, the soil is fertile, the nutrients are richer, the soil is often loosened, and the sun is often exposed.

In general, succulents need to change the soil every two years, which is more conducive to the growth of succulents, and the soil will be more loose and breathable.

Succulents are generally changed at the end of the dormancy period and before the growth period is about to start again. Soil replacement at this time can promote the succulents to end dormancy smoothly and start to grow better.

Generally speaking, when succulents show the following signs, they should be ready to change the soil.

The first is the succulent plant, if it does not grow for a long time, it means that the soil is not suitable and needs to be replaced.

The second is that the succulent plant and the pot are not commensurate, the plant is too big, and the pot is too small.

The last point is that the flesh has rotten roots.

In general, when these situations occur, it is necessary to consider changing the soil.

This question varies from breed to breed and cannot be generalized. There are quite a few varieties of succulents that are relatively pocket-sized, and their growth is relatively slow, and they will not grow to a large size in a short period of time like radishes and lettuce, so the demand for fertilizer in the soil is also limited, which does not require annual soil change. There are also some varieties that need to be planted in relatively poor soil, such as the ornamental variety Yamakagequan, which is petrified and mutated by some columnar cacti plants, if cultivated with fertile potting soil, it is easy to have atavistic phenomena and grow that kind of tall and straight columnar stems, which will seriously damage its ornamentality.

There are also succulent plant varieties whose purpose of soil change is not mainly to supplement fertilizer. For example, the raw stone flower, generally two to three years to change the potting soil, this is mainly to promote its root system renewal, because the fibrous roots of the raw stone flower, after two or three years will be aged and died, these dead roots not only do not have the function of absorbing nutrients, but also hinder the growth of new fibrous roots, and even cause rotten roots, so it is best to change the potting soil every two or three years, when changing the soil, to remove the fibrous roots and leave only the taproot, only in this way will it grow strong.

It is best to change the soil once a year, succulents also need sufficient nutrients to maintain growth, it is best to change the soil once a year, and it is also possible to change it once every two to three years, so it is necessary to fertilize frequently to increase nutrition.
