How to plant succulents? A detailed guide to the planting method

1. Preparing the pot and soil

To plant succulents, choose a porcelain or clay pot of a suitable size. For the soil, you can buy nutrient soil from the market or mix your own. When mixing, use lightweight material, leaf mold, peat and coarse sand in a 1:1:1:2 ratio, mix them together, then put it into the pot and set aside.

2. Sowing the seeds

When planting, scatter the succulent seeds directly on the surface of the soil, then cover with a layer of fine soil and cover with plastic wrap, then use a toothpick to poke a few small holes to let the seeds breathe, and finally place it in a well-ventilated spot and just wait quietly for them to sprout and take root.

3. Later care

1. Watering: in spring and autumn, water generally once every 4 days; in summer, when temperatures are high, it should be once a day; in winter, most succulents go dormant, so reduce the amount of water to once every half a month.

2. Fertilizing: the growth of any plant cannot be separated from nutrients, and succulents are no exception. During the spring and autumn growing seasons, fertilize once a month; in summer and winter, no fertilizing is needed.

3. Temperature: the suitable temperature for succulent growth is between 15°C and 28°C, and the lowest should not be below 5°C; in winter it should also be kept above 10°C.
