Add this to succulent pots and every one of them will grow plump and fat

Add some slow-release fertilizer to the pot and they will grow like crazy and fill the pot!

Spring is the growing season for succulents. If you want them to grow into big fat ones as quickly as possible, you must add some fertilizer. In addition, succulents are relatively small, so using a bit of slow-release fertilizer is just perfect!

Steps:

1. Slow-release fertilizer releases nutrients relatively slowly. Buried in a succulent pot, it not only supplements nutrients but also will not burn the roots, so buying a pack of slow-release fertilizer at the flower market can last for several years!

2. When repotting succulents in spring, you can mix peat soil and granular soil at a ratio of 1:1, then place 10-20 granules of slow-release fertilizer into the potting soil and stir thoroughly, so the slow-release fertilizer slowly releases nutrients in the soil for the succulent roots to absorb.

3. If some flower lovers find repotting too troublesome, they can also dig out a spoonful of slow-release fertilizer and bury it along the edge of the succulent pot, or directly sprinkle it on the surface of the potting soil. When watering, the slow-release fertilizer will penetrate directly into the soil with the water, thereby supplementing nutrients for the succulent.

4. After absorbing the nutrients from the slow-release fertilizer, the succulent's roots will become stronger and stronger, and its growth will become more and more vigorous. It will quickly fill the pot!

Add some worm castings to the pot and the leaves will be so fat they glisten!

Huahua previously heard that worm castings are super safe. Even for the most delicate succulents, using worm castings will not burn the roots, so flower lovers who are worried that fertilizing will burn the roots may as well try worm castings!

Steps:

1. While it is spring, go to a park or wild area to collect some worm castings. Especially after rain there are tons of them. Those things that look curved and winding are worm castings!

2. Mix the worm castings you brought back with the soil prepared for succulents and use it as a base fertilizer for succulents. After the succulent roots absorb the nutrients slowly released by the worm castings, they will grow plumper and plumper!

3. If the amount of worm castings collected is very small, you can also directly throw them on the surface of the succulent pot. In this way, when watering, the nutrients from the worm castings will penetrate directly into the pot with the water, and the goal of supplementing nutrients can also be achieved.

Add some bone meal to the pot and the roots will burst the pot!

Besides the most common slow-release fertilizer, you can also add some bone meal to a succulent pot, which can make the succulent's roots thick and strong. Don't believe it? Then follow along with Huahua and take a look!

Steps:

1. Do not throw away the fish bones and chicken bones left over from meals at home. Just collect them for later use. This is because bones contain relatively more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can make the succulent's roots stronger.

2. Soak the bones in clean water for 5 hours, then put them in a pressure cooker and boil for 2-3 hours to leach out all the salt in the bones.

3. Take the bones out of the pressure cooker, put them in the sun to dry, then crush them with a hammer, or directly grind them into powder with a grinder.

4. When repotting succulents, sprinkle 2-3 spoonfuls of bone meal into the nutrient soil and mix it with the potting soil to use as a base fertilizer; you can also dig 3-5 small holes along the edge of the succulent pot and bury the bone meal in them. It is enough to use it once every 2-3 months.

5. Whether mixed into the potting soil or directly buried in the pot, bone meal can slowly release phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, so that after the succulent roots absorb it, growth becomes stronger and stronger, and filling the pot happens quickly!

Add some eggshells to the pot and the succulents will become stronger and stronger!

If you want succulents to grow like crazy without spending money, Huahua will provide flower lovers with a good method, and that is to use eggshells that every household has!

Steps:

1. Collect the leftover eggshells at home, wash them several times with clean water, clean off the egg white inside the eggshells, and put them in the sun to dry to prevent attracting small insects.

2. Crush the dried eggshells by hand, or directly put them in a grinder and completely break the eggshells into powder, then put them in a small box for later use.

3. When repotting succulents in spring, grab a handful of eggshell powder and directly mix it with the potting soil as a base fertilizer for repotting succulents, so the eggshells slowly release phosphorus and calcium fertilizer in the soil for the succulents to absorb.

4. If you really do not want to repot, then dig 2-4 small holes along the edge of the succulent pot and bury the eggshells in them. This can also achieve the purpose of supplementing phosphorus and calcium fertilizer. After the succulents absorb the nutrients in the eggshells, the plants will become stronger and stronger, and filling the pot will be a matter of minutes, right?

Add some clay pebbles to the pot and they will not rot roots even after 10 years of growing!

Succulents are generally very small, and the pots they need are also very small, so every time you water you must pay attention and water a little less. Once you accidentally water too much, it will quickly lead to root rot!

Steps:

1. Although clay pebbles are small, they have very strong water and air permeability. Placing them at the bottom of the pot is just perfect!

2. When repotting, first place a layer of mesh over the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot to prevent soil from leaking out.

3. Then spread a layer of the prepared clay pebbles at the bottom of the pot to achieve water and air permeability.

4. After that, put the prepared nutrient soil into the pot, then slowly place the succulent in.

5. The clay pebbles placed at the bottom of the pot are loose and breathable and have strong drainage. When too much water is given, the excess water will directly leak out from the bottom of the pot and will not accumulate in the pot, thereby avoiding the possibility of succulent root rot.

That is all Huahua is introducing today.

Have all you flower lovers learned it?

Why not take advantage of the present and give it a try right away,

and let the succulents at home quickly grow as plump as balls!
