Fertilize Succulents Like This for Easy Explosive Growth in Balcony Pots

I put a little "this" into the succulent pot, and they grew so fast. It seems that as long as you use the right method, balcony succulents can go "crazy" too...!

Succulents have a very cute appearance, and many friends decide to get into growing them after just one glance, but during the care process they find that the fleshy plants do not grow much, or grow too slowly. Could it be that they are growing "fake succulents"? Actually, we can try adding some "material" to the succulent potting soil. Even succulents grown on a balcony can grow leaves and flesh like crazy and quickly fill the pot.

Everyone knows that succulents originally grew in relatively harsh wild environments, and they all grew on the ground. Even neglected fleshy plants can grow into large sizes, so why can't succulents in pots do the same? Because ground-planted succulents absorb far more nutrients than potted succulents. If you want to grow your balcony succulents large and well, you need to give them some appropriate "material", for example:

Bone meal

Do not throw away the bones left over from eating pork ribs or chicken and duck meat. Put them in a pot and boil them to remove the salt from the bones, then sun-dry them until dry, and simply crush them with a tool. It would be even better if you can make them into powder. When potting succulents, the powder can be used to mix into the soil. Fine bone fragments can also be mixed into the soil, and large pieces of bone that have not been crushed can be buried directly at the bottom of the pot as a base layer.

The nutrients in the bones are slowly released over time to the roots of the succulents, and after the root system absorbs the nutrients, they are transported to the various growth points of the plant.

Eggshells

This is the most common thing in daily life. Since eggshells can be used to grow flowers and grass, they can naturally also be used to grow succulents. Eggshells can not only make the soil for growing succulents more water-draining and breathable, but the calcium and many other trace elements in eggshells are also very beneficial to the growth of succulents.

Plant ash

Making plant ash is actually very simple. It is the ash left after burning rice straw or other weeds. Plant ash has a very high potassium fertilizer content. Adding it to succulent growing soil can adjust the soil pH, make it loose and breathable, and provide high nutritional content, which can very well promote plant growth.

In addition, mountain soil, wood shavings, leaf mold and so on are all good materials for growing succulents and other potted green plants. Being good at using these materials can help plants grow faster and more abundantly, and fill the pot more quickly!
