Growing succulents in summer: add a little of this to the pot for strong roots, beautiful leaves and a plump, chubby look

Lately many gardening friends have started to worry that the succulents they care for will struggle to make it through the summer in the high temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is too high, the succulents look soft and listless, and some get scorched even when kept out of direct sun. What were once plump, juicy succulents look about to turn into dried succulents, so what should be done?

In fact, anyone who has cared for succulents knows that the thick, fleshy leaves of succulents can store water on their own, so there is no need to water frequently; watering too much, or watering into the pot, can cause root rot and other problems. But if you want succulents to grow plump and chubby, nutrients are essential. If you can replenish nutrients for succulents in time during the growing season, they will grow very well. So besides fertilizing succulents from the outside and replenishing nutrients, we can also add some nutrients to the soil, such as eggshells!

I believe using eggshells to grow plants is familiar to everyone. Generally, when gardening friends first start caring for succulents, when potting them up, they add some organic fertilizer to the soil used for growing succulents. But the method I want to share with you today is adding some eggshell powder, so the succulents can grow plump and chubby, with strong roots and beautiful leaves!

Because eggshells contain a large amount of calcium, phosphorus, potassium and many other nutrients, crushing eggshells and burying them in the succulent pot is a very good fertilizer, a purely natural organic fertilizer with high nutrients. It can promote lush growth in succulents, making them plump and chubby with strong roots and beautiful leaves. Below, let us learn together how to use eggshells to grow succulents!

How to use: First, scald the prepared eggshells with boiling water. If they have already been cooked, skip this step. If they are from raw eggs, you must treat them, because using them directly will easily attract small bugs. So we need to wash off the egg white clean, then dry the eggshells in the sun. After drying, use a small hammer to crush them into powder or break them into fragments, and then they can be mixed into the soil.

Because eggshells contain many nutrients, using them to grow succulents can promote rooting, speed up succulent growth, increase the survival rate of succulents, and also provide a large amount of nutrients for succulents, making them grow plump and chubby. Most importantly, it can also help them get through the summer safely!

The method is very simple. Have you learned it? When growing succulents in summer, do you have any better care methods to share with everyone?
