A few days ago, the editor went to visit her best friend's home and found that the succulents in her house had especially beautiful colors, all bright red, which made the editor so envious. After much pestering, her best friend finally told the editor her secret, and it turned out to be simply throwing the succulents straight into the fridge!

Throw succulents in the fridge, and their color will get redder and redder!

If you want your succulents to get more and more vivid in color and grow better and better, then there must be a sufficiently large temperature difference, but many flower lovers do not have a very large temperature difference, so they have to rely on artificially creating one!

Steps:

1. Put the succulents in the fridge. It is best to use common mass-market varieties that are easy to propagate, such as Echeveria chihuahuaensis and Sedum adolphi.

2. For the succulents placed in the fridge, the temperature should be kept at around 3-6 degrees, then put a fresh-keeping bag over the succulents and place them in the refrigerator crisper.

3. After the succulents have been in the fridge for a night, take them out and place them in a cool, ventilated indoor spot for 1 hour, then put them under the sun for full exposure.

4. After a day of sun exposure, put the succulents back into the crisper, and then repeat this cycle.

5. After about half a month, you can see the succulents begin to show slight signs of change. As long as you keep at it, after a month the succulents will all become bright red.

Note: As for the method of using a fridge to create a large temperature difference, some flower lovers have succeeded in experiments, while others have failed. The best friend was lucky and succeeded, so flower lovers please choose this method with caution.

Spray succulents with ice water, and they will still be bright red!

For flower lovers who do not dare to use the previous method, the editor will teach you a reliable method, which is to sprinkle a little ice water on the succulents, and it can still achieve the effect of a large temperature difference!

Steps:

1. Let tap water sit at home for 1-2 days, first to remove the nitrogen in the water, then put it in the fridge to chill, let the water temperature drop rapidly, then take it out and pour it into a watering can. You can also pour the ice water directly onto the succulents.

2. Put the succulents that have been exposed to the sun all day indoors, then spray the succulents with ice water. Spray once every evening, making sure every succulent leaf is sprayed.

3. The above method only needs 2-3 weeks, and under a sufficiently large temperature difference the succulent leaves will become bright red!

Spray succulents with carrot water, and the color will also become more and more vivid!

Finally, the editor will teach everyone a trick for coloring succulents, which is to spray a little carrot water!

Steps:

1. Wash fresh carrots, cut them into pieces, then put them in a pot with water and boil them. Then take the carrots out, and pour the remaining carrot water onto the succulents.

2. Put the carrot water into a clean plastic bottle, let it ferment, open it after about 5 days to let air in, then cover it again for half a month and it is ready.

3. Mix the fully fermented carrot water with clean water into a solution, spray it directly, spray once every 3 days, and after 5 uses you will find the succulents begin to color up!

Succulents need more sun exposure to become redder and redder!

In addition to the few tips shared by the editor, daily care of succulents also needs attention.

1. If you want succulents to look better and better as they grow, you must give them more sun. It is best to keep them outdoors for open-air cultivation. Only with enough sunlight will the color be vivid.

2. Watering also has its particularities. In spring, watering about once every 8 days is enough. Never water too much, otherwise the leaves will develop black rot. Once this happens, the succulents will die in minutes!
