How to Plant Succulents and Tips for Choosing Potting Soil

Growing succulents is rather difficult, as the care they need differs from season to season, and the main focus is still on the three aspects of sunlight, air and water. So what are the methods for planting succulents?

Methods for planting succulents:
1. Choose a suitable pot: the pot for planting succulents should have holes in the bottom so that excess water can drain out, otherwise the succulents will easily become diseased.

2. Soil: you can use peat soil, which is said to be soil formed by the accumulation of the remains of marsh plants; this soil is rich in nutrients and also has very good air permeability, which is good for the growth of succulents.

3. Succulents should be planted in a place that is well ventilated, has plenty of light and is sheltered from rain. You can place them in a bright spot on the balcony and let the succulents slowly adapt to the new environment.

4. When to water: when the surface of the soil for planting succulents is dry and cracked, and the pot feels very light, it is time to water; when the leaves of the succulents curl up, are shriveled and have lost their glossy, translucent look, it is also time to water. Succulents are drought-tolerant, and it does not matter if you do not water them for one to two weeks.

5. Succulents do not need fertilizing, but if you do fertilize, you must choose a slow-release, long-lasting fertilizer specially made for succulents; if you choose a fast-acting type, the succulents will be "killed with kindness".
Now that you know the methods for planting succulents and what kind of soil to use, would you like to try planting them yourself?
