Summer is here. Master this one trick to keep your succulents from rotting at the roots
Summer is coming, and small potted succulents are once again appearing in our lives. In recent years, succulents have become very popular, not only because they are cheap but also because they are small and beautiful. According to partial statistics, there are about 10,000 or more kinds of succulents in the world, and they originally all lived in arid regions or places with high salt content. But now that technology is so advanced, where are there still plants that cannot grow because of climate or geographical environment? People want plants that take no time, waste no energy, are easy to keep alive, and are also the cutest plants in history. Now let's learn how to grow succulents big and plump
01. Watering
When growing succulents, it is best to water with a small spray bottle, because succulent plants are relatively small and a spray bottle can water them more evenly. The time for watering should be chosen when there is plenty of sunlight. Water thoroughly, do not water frequently, and master the watering frequency well. When the air is dry, remember to pay attention and water more
02. Temperature
When growing succulents, first pay attention to temperature. In this season, indoor temperatures are all suitable, and when the weather is warm, putting them on the balcony or outdoors is also fine. Just remember that the highest temperature should not exceed 35 degrees, and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees, and that is fine
03. Light
When placing them, put them in the spot with the longest exposure to light. Succulents like sunlight. If there is not enough light, the plants will be very fragile and prone to disease. In this situation, do not easily move the succulents outdoors
04. Fertilizing
In summer, growing succulents does not require fertilizing. Do not mix this up with other potted plants. When growing them in winter, depending on the plant's growth, you can appropriately fertilize once a month. Do not fertilize too much or in excess. When choosing fertilizer, choose a diluted liquid fertilizer.
05. Preventing rot
During the growing process, if you water too much, the air is too humid, and you also have not done pest control, then you need to pay attention. This kind of situation will cause succulents to rot. Rotting plant leaves fade in color and become soft. If you find rotting tissue on succulents at home, clean it away as soon as possible
06. Pest control
When growing them, always observe whether there are insects on the succulents. The insects on succulents roughly include these: red spider mites, scale insects, whiteflies, etc. If you find them, clean them up promptly,
Special tip:
From the appearance of succulents, you can tell they contain a lot of water. They can store water themselves, and even if you occasionally forget to water them, they can still survive. However, if you water too much, it will put a burden on the succulents and cause them to rot. Growing flowers is like a doctor treating a patient: you need to understand the condition and prescribe the right medicine. Only then can the flowers be obedient and grow into the way you want them to look
