Succulents have a very cute appearance, and many people fall in love with them at first glance. But these cute succulents do not like to grow, could it be that you are raising a fake succulent? Actually, as long as you put a little something in the succulent pot, it will grow rapidly!

Although succulents originally grow in the wild, where the environment is relatively harsh, succulents planted in the ground can still absorb more nutrients than those in pots. If you want to grow succulents at home to their full potential, you still need to fertilize properly!

Slow-release fertilizer

The pots used for planting succulents are generally quite small, so the amount of fertilizer must also be controlled, otherwise it will burn the roots. You can buy slow-release fertilizer specially made for succulents, as its fertility is relatively mild.

Slow-release fertilizer is not expensive either, just a few yuan per pack. You only need a few granules each time, so one pack can be used for a long time.

Application steps:

1. Now is exactly the right time to repot succulents, and slow-release fertilizer can be used as a base fertilizer.

2. First put some breathable ceramic granules in the pot, then add the prepared soil and slow-release fertilizer, then cover with some more soil, and finally plant the succulent in.

Bone powder

Bone powder is very rich in nutrients and can be made at home by yourself. Using it to grow succulents has a very good effect.

Production steps:

1. When you normally eat pork ribs, or chicken and duck meat, do not throw away the leftover bones. Put them in a pot and boil them to remove the salt from the bones.

2. After boiling, rinse them with clean water, spread them out flat on the balcony to dry in the sun. About 3 days of drying is enough. Use a tool to smash the bones and grind them into powder. When using it on succulents, keep it a little away from the roots.

Eggshell powder

Eggshells can make the soil looser and more breathable, and they also contain calcium and phosphorus elements, which are very beneficial to succulents.

Production steps:

1. Wash the eggshells clean with clean water, remove the residual egg white on the shells, and then put them in the sun to expose them for a few days.

2. Crush the eggshells. The finer they are crushed, the easier it is for succulents to absorb them.

Application method:

When repotting succulents, mix the eggshells into the soil, or directly sprinkle them on the surface of the pot. The amount used varies with the size of the succulent. When using it for the first time, use less, and then slowly figure out the right amount.

Succulents are actually not difficult to grow,

As long as you have a heart that cares for the little succulents,

The little succulents will definitely repay all you gardening friends!
