Growing succulents on a balcony: how can you achieve three thousand fine succulents?

When it comes to growing succulents, many flower lovers want their balcony to be full of succulents at a single glance, and for balcony growers this is a succulent dream. Although many people are not optimistic about growing succulents on indoor balconies, it does not affect us at all in achieving the effect of "three thousand fine succulents" on the balcony!

Presumably, balcony-growing flower lovers all know this from experience: when they first came into contact with succulents they knew nothing, threw all their enthusiasm into them, bought books and joined all kinds of groups, and muddled through trying a whole lot of methods from the experts, yet the succulents told them through their condition whether they liked a method or not. Whatever worked, they stuck with; whatever did not work, they abandoned. Below are some tips for caring for succulents on a balcony, for everyone to refer to.

1. Grow succulents according to your actual situation

First, a misconception needs to be corrected: there is actually no template and no rigid rules for growing succulents. You must combine and make use of your own conditions and environment to grow succulents.

As for potting, there is mainly one small detail everyone should pay attention to. Many succulent beginners water directly after potting. Although succulents have strong adaptability, after root trimming or a long journey they have very little strength left. Think about how you look after sitting on a hard seat on a train for 12 hours and you will understand. At that moment you just want to rest well, and succulents are the same.

So it is recommended not to water right after potting the succulents. Let them recover for 2-3 days, then water thoroughly. Also, put them together with the old succulents kept at home, and give them an environment with sunlight (not blazing sun) and ventilation. Do not pamper them by placing them in a shady spot. No matter where they go, they are still succulents, and their living habits will not change.

2. Pay attention to light and temperature difference

For watering, likewise just do not be rigid. Next is the environment, and here light and temperature difference must be mentioned. If there is not enough light, even if you wait on the succulents like serving an emperor it is still in vain. Here I want to recommend a good thing, a fluorescent lamp, though the price is a bit higher. Everyone should still choose a south-facing balcony. Those with deep pockets can give it a try!

As for temperature difference, the editor is also quite lucky, the room has enough temperature difference, hehe, do not be jealous! But flower lovers absolutely must not artificially create a temperature difference, moving them back during the day and out at night, which will leave the succulents completely confused. Plants themselves have the ability to adapt, and if they are moved back and forth all the time they will not know which environment to adapt to!

3. Do not underestimate pests and diseases

The last point is preventing pests and diseases! Although balcony growers do not need to worry about natural disasters, they do have to worry about insect pests. If you are not careful, all kinds of pathogens will come visiting your succulents! The editor has mentioned countless times that insect pests must be prevented. As long as preventive measures are taken, black rot and mealybugs will be gone completely. The editor generally prepares medicine in advance when the seasons change, and as soon as something seems wrong, sprays immediately and kills them on the spot!

By following the methods above, our balcony can soon achieve "three thousand" fine succulents.
