How to grow succulents_ Precautions for growing succulents
In our lives, we often use some plants to decorate the environment we live in, so that we live in a beautiful and comfortable environment every day. Plants not only play a very good role in beautifying the environment, but also freshen our living environment. When choosing these plants, one option is succulents. In appearance, succulents are very beautiful and elegant, and they look very small and delicate, and are also relatively easy to grow. But many people do not know how to grow succulents, and what are the precautions for growing succulents?
[Introduction to succulents]
“Succulents”, as the name suggests, are plants that are full of water and juice. Succulents themselves contain a lot of water, and during growth they can store a lot of water themselves, so people do not need to spend too much effort when growing them. Succulents refer to higher plants whose own organs are very plump and enlarged. They are a combination of the three vegetative organs of roots, stems and leaves and the three reproductive organs of flowers, fruits and seeds. In horticulture, succulents are also called succulent plants or succulent flowering plants. There are more than ten thousand kinds of succulents in the world. They belong to a type of higher plant, and the vast majority of succulents are angiosperms. In plant classification, they are divided into dozens of families, and some experts have identified 67 families that contain succulents. Succulents are now popular all over the world and are loved by many plant enthusiasts.
[Succulents—distribution]
Succulents are mainly distributed in tropical rainforests, tropical savannas, tropical and subtropical deserts, sclerophyllous woody vegetation areas, temperate evergreen forest areas, grassland to desert areas with cold winters, and temperate deciduous forest areas. They are mainly distributed in the Mexican Plateau and the southwestern United States, the Andes region, southern Africa, Madagascar Island, East Africa, the Canary Islands and many other places.
[Succulents—growth habits]
There are many varieties of succulents, and the cultivation method is decided according to their habits. They like to grow in a cool, semi-shaded environment, and their growing season is spring and autumn. This type is classified as the intermediate type of succulents. They are drought-tolerant, not cold-tolerant, avoid high temperature and humidity, avoid scorching sun exposure, avoid shade, and are afraid of waterlogging. During the growing season of succulents, sufficient sunlight should be given. If they are too shaded, the plant shape will become loose and not compact, and the leaves will also be relatively thin and long, reducing their ornamental value. If the light is too strong, growth will become abnormal, and the leaves will be light reddish brown. If they encounter strong direct sunlight, the leaves will be scorched, leaving ugly marks. Plants grown in semi-shade have thick and plump leaves and relatively high transparency.
[How to grow succulents]
There are relatively many propagation methods for succulents, and they are also relatively easy. Commonly used methods include grafting, cuttings, sowing, root cuttings, division, leaf cuttings and so on, while grafting is generally used for plants in the cactus family. Let us look below at how to grow succulents:
1. Soil
When growing succulents, choose soil that is loose, breathable and well-drained. The chosen soil also needs a certain water-holding capacity, and the best is neutral or slightly acidic soil. The soil must be sterile to avoid rot caused by fungal infection.
2. Light
In summer, be careful not to let them undergo long periods of high-temperature exposure. Their tissue cells are thick, so heat dissipates relatively slowly, and high-temperature exposure easily causes leaf sunburn, leaving sun marks and reducing ornamental value. However, in other seasons, full light should be provided, as this is beneficial to the growth of succulents.
3. Watering
During the growing period of succulents, master the rule of not watering when not dry, and watering thoroughly when watering, avoiding waterlogging. In particular, they must not be exposed to rain for a long time, otherwise the roots will rot. If there is long-term drought, the leaves will become shriveled, and the leaf color will become dull and lack vitality. After watering, do not expose them to strong sunlight; place them in a low-light, shady and cool place.
4. Temperature
Succulents are most suitable for growing in an environment of 15-28 degrees Celsius. A temperature of 5-35 degrees Celsius is their limit, otherwise it will cause certain harm, or even death.
5. Humidity
Succulents like to grow in an environment with a certain amount of air humidity. When the air is dry, spray water around the plants to increase air humidity. You can also cover them with a plastic bottle for care to increase the growing humidity in a small space. Be sure to remove it at high temperatures, so that the leaves become fuller and more transparent.
[Precautions for growing succulents]
When growing succulents, water them appropriately and avoid direct sunlight. As long as you follow the methods introduced above by the editor on how to grow succulents, you can grow succulents very well. Moreover, caring for them does not require too much effort.
