Growing succulents this exquisitely really makes one admire you.
What counts as "exquisite"? Succulents that aren't etiolated, don't rot, aren't shriveled, aren't uneven in size, with a nice mix of plump and lean... A pot of succulents with proper form, suitable size and full vitality really does take quite a bit of effort from us. Everything has a result, and also a winding process. Growing succulents is the same: as long as we overcome the difficulties we encounter along the way, we can likewise grow succulents worth showing off.
Growing succulents comes down to nothing more than 4 points: ventilation, light, watering, and one more thing, the soil mix.
Ventilation, need I even say it? No matter what type of plant you grow, ventilation is absolutely indispensable. If ventilation is poor, either don't grow them, or find another way, such as using a fan to strengthen air circulation.
Next is light, which is an essential condition for the growth of all plants. There are very, very few plants that don't like light, and most succulents need light, it's just that some need lots of light while some succulents prefer diffused light. For example, Sedum succulents love ample light the most, while Haworthia (Haworthia) succulents all prefer diffused light. If you grow succulents indoors and get less than 3 hours of light a day, either consider growing Haworthia-type succulents or ones that don't like light, or consider buying grow lights to supplement the light, but even these still aren't as effective as natural light.
As for watering, everyone must be sick of hearing about it by now. I'll still say the same thing: different growing environments call for different watering methods, and what's more, succulents are also divided into those that like water and those that don't. In addition, when the soil quality differs, the speed of water evaporation also differs. Ultimately, you still have to decide whether to water based on the condition of the succulent. The general principle is to water thoroughly once the soil is completely dry, but there should be no standing water and it shouldn't be overly moist either. You mustn't get the watering times wrong in winter and summer. You have to believe that a succulent won't die of thirst anytime soon, and when it's too hot or too cold you should still focus on controlling water.
Lastly comes the soil mix, which is also a process we need to figure out for ourselves. If you just can't work out how to make a good soil mix, then go with half peat and half granules. This method suits almost all succulents, and you can slowly adjust it later.
Having said all that, I don't know if everyone will find me long-winded. If I haven't said it well, I ask you all to point it out. If you have any questions, you're welcome to ask, and I'll do my best to help everyone with answers.
