How to plant succulents? Teaching you the early-stage care methods

Actually, when it comes to caring for succulents, we only need to pay attention to four key elements (light, water, ventilation, nutrients), especially for beginners who have just gotten into the hobby. If you master the methods for these four elements, then growing succulents will become an effortless task.

First is the issue of light. Here I want to focus on summer (in other seasons, it is best to let succulents get some sun every day). In summer, if we let succulents receive overly strong light, their leaves can easily get scorched, so friends who want to grow succulents outdoors in summer must lower the temperature of the succulent growing environment and use some shading tools as appropriate.

Second is the watering method. During the growing season, you can use the method of watering thoroughly after the soil has dried out. It is best to choose the evening for this, and after the soil surface has dried, wait 1-2 days before watering thoroughly a second time. In other seasons, you can appropriately extend the watering interval to achieve the goal of controlling the plant's shape. If the rainy season comes, be sure to provide good rain protection (when using tap water to water succulents, you can collect it in advance and then place it in a ventilated spot to let the chlorine evaporate).

Finally, there is the ventilated environment. Actually, no matter what kind of indoor green plant it is, a ventilated environment is very important. Especially for friends growing succulents indoors, be sure to open the windows during the day or move the succulents outside. If the rainy season comes, you can consider using an electric fan instead.

Finally, there is fertilizing. Although succulents do not need too many nutrients in their later growth (using fertilizer can also easily cause leggy growth), adding a little compound fertilizer when potting them can still promote their growth.
