Tips for fertilizing succulents: 2 growth-boosting fertilizers you can't do without, for thick leaves and fast growth

There are tips for fertilizing succulents, and these 2 "growth-boosting fertilizers" are essential for thick leaves and fast growth!

In recent years, succulents have become deeply loved by many flower growers. The plants are small and exquisite, with plump, chubby leaves that are super cute and have very high ornamental value. Succulents are also easy to care for, and basically don't require much time or effort.

Although there are many benefits to growing succulents and they are easy to care for, getting them into the ideal state is not so easy. Some flower growers report that their succulents never put on flesh, with thin, scrawny leaves. Today Hua'er will introduce 2 "growth-boosting fertilizers" to spur your succulents into crazy growth and thick leaves!

1. Eggshells

Eggshells are rich in potassium and some trace elements, which can make succulent leaves plumper and increase the plant's resistance. Eggshells also have many tiny pores and good air permeability, which helps improve the soil's aeration.

Specific method: Collect some eggshells, wash out the residue inside, crush them, and put them under the sun to bake for about a week until completely dry. Then spread a thin layer on the surface of the potting soil; when repotting, you can also mix some into the soil.

2. Fruit peels

Fruit peels contain vitamins, phosphorus, potassium and various acids, which can spur succulents into vigorous growth, make the plants more compact, and make the leaves crystal clear, increasing their ornamental appeal.

Specific method: Collect some fruit peels, such as orange peel, pomelo peel, watermelon rind, banana peel, etc. After washing them clean, chop them into small pieces to ferment more effectively. Put them into a larger container, then add water to dilute 100 times, seal it, and place it in a warmer spot to ferment. Fermentation is complete in about 1-2 months.

When using it, filter it first, then add water to dilute 50 times, put it in a spray bottle and water the succulents with it. When watering, do not pour it directly on the top; you can slowly pour it in from the edge of the pot. It must also not touch the leaves, to prevent the leaves from rotting.

That's all for succulent care. If you have other additions, feel free to share them with everyone in the comments section below. To learn more about flower-growing knowledge, you can follow Huajianke!
