Growing succulents in the fridge: a succulent expert's tricks are truly abundant

There are countless flower lovers who have fallen down the rabbit hole, and their succulent-growing tricks are as bizarre as they come, but as long as it works, whether it's a white cat or a black cat, growing succulents well is the clever trick. A bizarre succulent care method: you can toss your succulents into the fridge, and not only do they sprout, but they also get more and more beautiful, turning a brilliant red.

So putting succulents in the fridge is simply a great way to use temperature differences to make succulents change color. In many regions the temperature difference between morning and evening is not very big, so you have to create the temperature difference artificially, especially after spring when the climate warms up.

The specific method: first, choose your succulents. Generally, common varieties like Huangli (Sedum adolphii) and Jiwawa (Echeveria 'Chihuahuaensis') will do. The fridge temperature is generally around 3-6 degrees, then put them in a plastic bag and place them inside for cold storage. Never put them in the freezer compartment, or they will all turn to mush.

Generally, don't leave them in the fridge too long, one night is enough, and a cool, ventilated spot is better. After letting them adjust slowly, you can put them out in the sun for a full sun bake. After one day of full sun, put the succulents back into the fridge's cold storage compartment, and then repeat this cycle over and over.

In just half a month, the succulents will gradually come into color, but you must keep at it, doing this every day, and the succulents will slowly turn red. However, some flower lovers simply can't succeed in the experiment, so those who want to learn should be cautious. To avoid the risk, some flower lovers don't dare to use it, and can also try the water-misting method, which can likewise increase the temperature difference.

The specific steps are as follows: draw some tap water, leave it for a few days to remove the chlorine, then put it in the cold storage compartment to lower the water temperature, and then spray it onto the succulents with a spray bottle.

A slightly riskier method is to bring sun-baked succulents indoors and spray them with ice water, spraying once every evening, making sure every succulent gets sprayed, which can lower the temperature. It takes only about 1-2 weeks for the succulent leaves, under a sufficiently large temperature difference, to turn a brilliant red!

There are also some flower lovers whose tricks are even more bizarre, let's take a look. It's cutting fresh carrots into pieces, then after washing them, boiling them in hot water, then taking them out, and the remaining water can be used to water the succulents.

Some flower lovers also use the carrot fermentation method: use a sealed container, put the carrots inside, add clean water, and then ferment for about 1 month. After full fermentation, dilute with 2 times the water to water the succulents. Unexpectedly, after using it 5 times, the succulents gradually colored up. This is because carrots contain a great deal of carotene.

Besides this, you should also give the succulents plenty of sun. Outdoor growing is best, or placing them on a south-facing balcony, windowsill, etc. Once they get enough sun, of course the succulents' color turns red. Also be careful to control watering well; generally watering once about every 20 days is better. Water too much and they easily rot.

1. If you want succulents to color up quickly, they must get plenty of sun. If conditions allow, growing them outdoors is best, or placing them on a south-facing balcony, south-facing windowsill and other places with good light. Only with enough sun can the color be vivid.
