You must pay attention to this one thing when buying succulents online, did you know?

Flower lovers often ask Chengcheng: Can you buy succulents online in summer? Chengcheng tells everyone: many plants enter a dormant state during the high-temperature summer season, and succulents are no exception. In summer, they basically hardly grow!

Moreover, summer is stuffy and humid. Whether the succulents we buy online come with pots or bare-rooted, after being tossed around on the road for several days, their root systems will more or less suffer some damage!

And the root system of succulents is inherently rather weak. Once damaged, under high temperature and high humidity, not only is it hard for them to recover, but in serious cases it can even cause root rot! And once the roots rot, that succulent is basically done for!

So in summer, try as much as possible not to buy succulents online!Many flower lovers might say,You can't buy succulents online in summer，Then which season is better for buying online?

Let me tell everyone: the best time to buy succulents online is in spring and autumn!Spring and autumn are the seasons when succulents grow fastest. When we buy them and bring them home, after repotting them, they will establish themselves in the pot relatively quickly. Moreover, in spring and autumn the temperature is more suitable, so even if the roots suffer a bit of damage on the road, they can recover quickly!

One thing to remind everyone: when potting up newly bought succulents, the soil used must have good water permeability and air permeability! Everyone must pay attention to this point. This is the key to whether succulents can be grown well!

I have said before that succulents are different from other plants. They have relatively high requirements for soil mixing, and the most critical point is that water permeability must be good. So when we mix soil for them, the proportion of granular soil should be as high as possible!
