How to grow succulents? He raised 10,000 of them to look exactly the same, plump, cute and red even in the dog days of summer

Raising tens of thousands of succulents,

to look like twins,

identical in size, color and even leaf count,

can anyone do it?

Yes!

This person has been around succulents for 10 years and has been growing them for 4 years,

Qingdao ManYou Flower House - Zhao Hui!

Who is Zhao Hui?

Someone who loves succulents so much that he quit his job at a research institute and rented a greenhouse to grow them,

someone who devotes himself to studying succulent care, hybridization and selective breeding,

an entrepreneur leading the professionalization of production in the succulent industry.

Succulent greenhouses are not rare; Huahua has visited more than fifty of them, big and small, all over the country,

but to grow succulents so that every pot looks exactly the same,

every plant robust, free of pests and diseases, and with such perfect color,

really only Zhao Hui can do it.

Look at this color, still as brilliant as a palette even in the dog days of summer!

Now look at these roots, every plant well developed with intricate, tangled roots!

Finally, look at this quality, with plump, compact leaves and short, sturdy, healthy stems,

simply the ideal perfect succulent!

Such wonderful succulents - how on earth did Zhao Hui grow them?

This is truly a rather complicated process,

requiring more than 300 days of careful tending!

1. Personally selected and bred, with high-quality seedlings

The seedlings Zhao Hui uses, after being purchased from abroad and domestically, are not planted directly; instead, they are first propagated for several rounds at the base, and then, manually, according to the health of the seedlings, the best and healthiest seedlings are selected.

Finally, they are sorted into large, medium and small specifications and planted in batches, so that in the subsequent growing process, the size and quality of the finished products are easier to control.

2. 3 rounds of screening, survival of the fittest

Not only do the seedlings need one round of screening, survival of the fittest. During the growth process from seedling to finished product, they must go through 2 more rounds of screening.

The 2nd round of screening comes after the seedlings have grown for 2-3 weeks, when plant size fluctuates somewhat, so plants that have not grown larger are screened out once again, and then healthy plants are manually sorted into large, medium and small and planted in batches.

The 3rd round of screening is to take the succulents from the greenhouse to the outdoor open-growing area for acclimation, keeping the sturdiest, healthiest succulents and eliminating those that cannot adapt to natural weather.

After 3 rounds of elimination. The succulents that remain are all the healthiest and in the best condition, and their specifications and colors are very consistent.

3. Natural cultivation, long growth cycle

For succulents, time is the best palette. The longer they are grown, the more beautiful the succulents become. So Zhao Hui would rather spend more time and labor costs, so that people who love succulents receive the highest-quality succulents.

For succulents of the same specification on the market, bases generally grow them for only 3-5 months, while Zhao Hui's succulents need 6-8 months, and clustered ones need 12-14 months. Succulents polished by time in this way are not only in good condition, but more importantly, healthy and sturdy and not prone to illness.

4. Weather advantage, easy coloring

Why are the succulents Zhao Hui grows still so beautiful in color in summer? Besides proper management, the unique geographical advantages of Qingdao and Kunming are also indispensable.

Both regions are cheat-mode areas for succulents, with not only long sunlight hours and high humidity, but also spring and autumn temperature differences of up to 12-15 degrees, which is very favorable for succulent growth and coloring.

5. Scientific soil mix, strong roots

Whether succulents grow well depends entirely on the roots, and the roots ultimately depend on the soil mix and ventilation. Zhao Hui knows this well, so he is especially attentive. Not only is all the soil made with imported peat and perlite, but based on years of exploration, he has developed soil formulas suitable for each kind of succulent, using different soil mixes for different succulents.

Besides the soil mix, ventilation is also very important for succulent root growth. In order to make the roots stronger, Zhao Hui and the growers conducted repeated experiments and found that succulents grown on planting racks had better root condition than those grown on the ground, so they spent a great deal of money and time building planting racks.

6. Strict control, no pests or diseases

With color, quality and roots all fine, what remains are the pests and diseases everyone fears. Zhao Hui is also very strict about controlling pests and diseases. In order to prevent users from receiving succulents with disease spots or pest damage, they expend a great deal of energy fighting pests and diseases.

Every two days, Zhao Hui and all the staff conduct 1 greenhouse inspection, finding succulents with pests or diseases among millions or tens of millions of succulents, then isolating and disposing of them.

Besides strictly screening and controlling succulents with pests or diseases, they also normally apply insecticide and fungicide once every half month, so under such strict control, the succulents that reach users' hands have no pests or diseases at all and are very robust.

For Huahua, who has seen countless succulents,

such high-quality succulents and such a reliable succulent grower are truly rare!

In the past, Huahua did not sell succulents,

because of the difficulty

of not having found good succulents,

now Huahua has found them,

and must

give back to the vast community of flower lovers!
