How to plant succulent seeds: small potted plants do not need frequent watering

Succulents have long been a big trend; because they are cute and charming, many young people buy them to grow at home. At present, the number of succulents in the world that can be named and counted has reached more than 10,000 species, and each species has fans who like them and cultivate them. So what are the methods for planting succulent seeds?

Methods for planting succulent seeds

1. Soil

Succulent seeds are mainly sown in the two seasons of spring and autumn. For the choice of soil, peat soil, small sand, small stones, and soil can be mixed together, which can ensure the soil's looseness. After mixing the soil, the soil must be disinfected and watered to ensure the soil's moisture level, and then use a toothpick to sow the seeds on the soil.

Note: because succulent seeds are very small, using a toothpick when sowing can help them go deeper into the soil. Summer temperatures are relatively high, so it is not recommended that everyone choose high-temperature weather for sowing.

2. Watering

After the succulent seeds have entered the flowerpot, the work of bottom watering to replenish water can be carried out. There is a trick to watering: watch the soil slowly absorb the water. If excess water overflows, you can stop watering, and after half an hour add a little more water for bottom watering. This can ensure the humidity of the entire soil environment.

3. Covering with film

3.1 After the above work is completed, it is time to cover with film, and covering with film also depends on the temperature in your home. If it is already above 20 degrees, there is no need to cover with film. If it is a low-temperature area, be sure to cover with cling film, and remember to open it for a while at noon every day to give it air and ventilation. In high-temperature areas, just maintain watering two or three times a week.

3.2 After about one or two weeks, changes in the succulent seeds can be observed, and at this time the cling film can already be removed. Then place the succulent seeds in a ventilated environment with suitable light, let them enjoy photosynthesis, and then combine with an appropriate amount of watering, which is beneficial to growth. Be sure not to water frequently.

II. Precautions for succulent seeds

1. After covering succulent seeds with cling film, if you do not have time to uncover it at noon every day, you can use a toothpick to poke a few small holes in the cling film. This can ensure ventilation and also prevent the succulent seeds from being too enclosed.

2. Putting small stones in the soil is used to maintain the air permeability of the succulent seeds. After the small stones change color, it is easy to tell whether there is a lack of water. Judging the watering situation of succulents by the color of the small stones will be much easier.

That is all for today's summary and organization of questions about succulent seeds. I hope everyone can refer to and practice more. As succulents slowly grow over time, this process is very precious.
