What are the spring care methods for succulents?
Succulents in spring
The season when succulents look their most beautiful
From late summer all the way until spring arrives. During this time, succulents begin to revive, and the temperature and sunlight in most parts of our country are mild, suitable for the growth of most succulent plants. During this period, succulents begin to show their beauty, with colors becoming vibrant and varied - reds turning red, purples turning purple - making them very appealing. Even in the depths of winter, it doesn't matter; although growth begins to slow, the colors become even more brilliant.
The season when succulents grow the fastest
Succulent plants grow most rapidly in spring. As the temperature difference decreases and the rainy season arrives, in areas with poor sunlight, succulent colors begin to turn tender green, and their growth rate becomes like the Chinese cabbage sold in markets - rapid growth begins.
The season when succulents are most prone to becoming leggy
If you got into this hobby starting in autumn and have been browsing all the major forums, I believe your home is now filled with a dazzling array, with offspring everywhere (succulent plants).
How to care for succulents in spring
(1) Try to place your succulents in the brightest spot in your home, strengthen the light exposure, and absolutely do not waste even a single day of beautiful sunshine.
(2) Try to reduce the amount of water when watering. It's best to have a hygrometer at home so you can understand the humidity level of your environment. When air humidity is very high, reduce the amount of watering; if you encounter a continuous rainy season, then during this period it's actually fine not to water at all. Wait until your succulent leaves show obvious shriveling due to lack of water before watering thoroughly - this is actually a very good method to prevent leggy growth. There are several ways succulents die: root rot from too much water and too little sun, being despised to death by their owner due to leggy growth from too much water and too little sun, and so on. The only rare way to die is - dying of thirst.
Note: When you need to water, if you can collect rainwater on rainy days, collect as much as possible, because watering plants with rainwater is the best (whether the rainwater in the capital with especially poor air quality is good or not, I don't know). If there's no rainwater and you can only use tap water to water your plants, it's excellent to store the water in a bucket for several days before using it. When watering, referring to the research materials of many experienced flower enthusiasts and combining them with my own practical results, you can add an appropriate amount of vinegar to tap water to mimic the slight acidity of rainwater. This kind of water is better for plants, and after watering, the leaves will happily become glossy and shiny.
