A well-developed subbao has relatively thick leaf flesh and white markings, and its form is very exquisite. Flower lovers can grow it at home, so that it not only increases ornamental value but also purifies the air, and the succulent subbao can be grown thick.
How to grow succulent subbao thick
1. Keep fertile soil and sufficient water
If you want to grow succulent subbao thick, you need to supplement sufficient nutrients for the leaves to grow thick. You can fertilize the soil and keep the soil dry, keeping the soil loose. For the potting soil, choose a mixed soil of leaf mold and coarse sand. When watering, you can appropriately spray water on the leaf surface.
2. Pay attention to fertilizing subbao
If you want the leaves of subbao to become thick, you need to maintain sufficient nutrients and fertilize subbao regularly. During the growing season, apply fertilizer once a month. Apply some organic fertilizer, so the succulent can grow strong.
3. Keep it cool and ventilated
Subbao is suitable for growing in a semi-shaded place. Do not place it in a place with strong sunlight, otherwise the leaves of subbao will be sunburned, causing the leaves to fail to develop normally and the leaf texture to become thin.
4. Keep the environment warm
When the lighting conditions are met, succulent subbao can avoid being placed in areas with direct sunlight as much as possible. Subbao likes warmth, but its cold tolerance is relatively poor. It can be placed in a warm place, maintaining a temperature of 16-26°C. In winter, pay attention to keeping it warm, and the temperature should not be lower than 5°C, so it can grow better.
Flower lovers now have a certain understanding of how to grow succulent subbao leaves thick. Provide breathable and fertile soil for succulent subbao, pay attention to regular fertilization, maintain semi-shaded lighting conditions, and maintain a suitable temperature and air humidity. Only in this way can succulent subbao maintain vigorous growth and the leaves become thick!
