1. Succulent habits

The ancients said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." To grow succulents well, you must first understand the habits of various succulents and the differences between their respective families and genera. Only after understanding the habits of your succulents can you prescribe the right remedy and carry out reasonable care.

2. Pot and soil

Everyone says succulents are lazy-person plants, so beginners may misunderstand this and actually throw their succulents outside without a care, "free-ranging" them. In fact, succulents need even more care and attention. Not only should you choose flower pots of different materials according to different regions, but you should also consider the specific size, and later also pay attention to coordination.

As for soil mixing, needless to say, soil is to plants what food is - it provides the nutrients needed for roots and leaves. You must follow the principles of being loose and breathable, able to drain water yet retain water, and having a certain fertility. Anyone who has truly cultivated succulents with care knows that pot and soil are very important for horticultural cultivation of succulents.

3. Watering

Watering succulents takes ten years of practice; there is no absolute standard. It depends on experience and is related to variety habits, climate characteristics, cultivation soil, ventilation conditions, flower pot choice, etc. We need to constantly summarize and master good methods.

4. Seasons

Seasons have a great influence on succulents. Spring and autumn are the golden growing seasons, requiring a relatively large amount of water, and appropriate fertilizing can also be done. At this time the colors of succulents are also very beautiful. In winter and summer, some succulents enter dormancy and need water control, and various weather-related diseases must be prevented, such as rot, frostbite, black rot, sunburn spots, sooty mold, etc.

5. Patience

Growing succulents is something that requires great patience. Succulents grow slowly by nature, and how they look will vary depending on the environment, so you must not be too impatient. If you hear that sun exposure makes them colorful, you take them out to bake in the sun; if you hear that rainwater is good, you take them out to get drenched in heavy rain... This will actually harm your succulents.

Finally, I hope all friends can hold on, analyze and treat things according to your own environment and care methods. Developing the look is a process - leave it to time, and please believe in yourself.
