Five simple steps to make your succulents turn colorful in autumn

How many succulent lovers have been waiting for this day, how many succulent fans have carefully seen off the succulent killer that is summer! But once summer is over, how do you welcome autumn? How should succulents be grown in autumn? What points need attention? Today Succulent Talk is here to answer your questions.

1

Observe

Carefully observe whether your succulents have already revived, or whether there are signs of revival.

2

Clean up

First clear away the dead and withered leaves, and at the same time remove the rotting leaves around the rim of the pot. Then you will find that your succulents are still just as beautiful.

3

Trim the roots

If you look carefully, you will find that the roots at the very bottom have basically all died. If you plant them directly and water them, the new roots will grow very slowly, and these dead roots may also trigger some diseases, so trimming them is very necessary.

Because after a period of time, the leaves at the very bottom will very likely turn to mush and rot, and in more serious cases this can cause the center of the leaves to turn to mush and the whole plant to die. At this point you need to make a clean cut - for the sake of this little companion's future, be ruthless!

4

Repotting

After trimming the roots, the succulents need to be dried first, because repotting will more or less damage the roots, and this is hard to avoid. So drying the roots is a necessary safety process that acts as insurance.

Generally, succulent plants are repotted once every 1 to 3 years (for some varieties, small seedlings can even be transplanted several times a year, commonly known as "move a bit, grow a bit"

”

In short, repotting should be done when the dormant period is about to end and the plant is about to start growing. Clustered plants can also be divided and propagated at the same time as repotting. In addition, if you find that a plant has root rot, you can carry out emergency repotting at any time.

PS: One more thing to note is that you must absolutely not water in the 3 to 5 days before repotting.

5

Watering

After repotting, don't rush. Because the roots will suffer some damage during the repotting and root-trimming process, you need to leave it for another two or three days, and once the wounds have about healed you can start watering.

Do all this and you're good to go,
