How to Plant Succulents? A Detailed Guide to the Planting Method

To plant succulents, choose a porcelain pot or a clay pot, and for the soil you can buy some nutrient soil or mix your own. When sowing, scatter the seeds directly on the surface of the soil, then cover with a layer of fine soil and cover with cling film, then poke a few small holes and simply wait for them to take root. In addition, the later care is also very important, and you must pay attention to the method.

1. Preparing the Pot and Soil

To plant succulents, choose a porcelain pot or a clay pot of a suitable size. For the soil, you can buy nutrient soil from the market or mix your own. When mixing, use lightweight materials: mix leaf mold, peat and coarse sand in a ratio of 1:1:1:2, then put it into the pot and set it aside.

2. Sowing the Seeds

When planting, scatter the succulent seeds directly on the surface of the soil, then cover with a layer of fine soil and cover with cling film, then use a toothpick to poke a few small holes so the seeds can breathe, and finally place it in a well-ventilated spot and simply wait for them to sprout and take root.

3. Later Care

1. Watering: in spring and autumn, water once every 4 days; in summer, when temperatures are high, water once a day; in winter, most succulents go dormant, so reduce the amount of water and water once every half month.

2. Fertilizing: the growth of any plant cannot do without nutrients, and succulents are no exception. During the spring and autumn growing seasons, fertilize once a month; in summer and winter, no fertilizing is needed.

3. Temperature: the suitable temperature for the growth of succulents is between 15 degrees and 28 degrees, and at the lowest it must not go below 5 degrees; in winter it should also be kept above 10 degrees.
