Flowers & Gardening 0 views
The succulent Fuji is a variety that dies after flowering, so when growing Fuji we must promptly spot and cut off its flower stalks. So how much do you know about how to grow the succulent Fuji? Let's look at the growing environment of Fuji

The growth habits of the succulent Fuji

1. Soil mix:My soil mix is no different from that for other sedums, about 1:1 peat to grit; actually I often mix soil quite casually and don't deliberately calculate the ratio, roughly is fine;

2. Watering:Fuji should not be kept too dry when growing, especially small seedlings; after rooting, soak the pot from the bottom briefly once every 10 days to half a month, but do not soak it through, as too much moisture will rot the roots. For mature plants I also water by the bottom-soaking method;

3. Light:For Fuji to look its best, it needs plenty of light; except in summer, give it full sun the rest of the time, and in summer it needs appropriate shading; small seedlings should not be exposed to direct sun in summer;

4. Temperature:In winter, as long as it stays above -2 degrees, I keep mine outdoors, but do not let it get rained on. However, everyone should make corresponding adjustments according to their own conditions and environment, because even in the same city, with different conditions and environments, the temperature a plant can tolerate may differ greatly;

5. Propagation:Around February to March each spring, behead the plant; after beheading, let the wound dry, keep caring for the stump as usual, and in about two weeks it can send out shoots; once the small seedlings grow to more than 2cm, cut them off, let them dry for about a week, plant them on moist soil to root, and place them outside a north-facing windowsill, making sure to protect them from rain; they must never be rained on, and when the soil has dried out completely, soak the pot from the bottom, keeping the soil slightly moist; after rooting they can be cared for normally, and they can spend the whole summer outside the north windowsill to get through the summer; by autumn, when the small seedlings have grown, repot them and place them outside a south-facing windowsill to grow outdoors.

Treat the large tops that were cut off the same way as the small seedlings, though once they have rooted and resumed growth they can be exposed to sun.
