First, the cultivation method of succulent plants

1, soil

It is best to use soil with strong permeability and high humus and nutrient content to raise more meat. Specifically, coarse perlite, northeast pine needle soil and stone slag can be evenly mixed according to the ratio of 5:3: 1 for meat culture.

2. Temperature

Meat has certain requirements on temperature. When the temperature exceeds 35℃ in summer, it is necessary to pull the sunshade net and sprinkle water on the ground to cool down. The curing temperature should be above 5℃ in winter to promote its safe overwintering. Usually, the temperature difference between day and night is larger, which is conducive to the coloring of meat.

water

In the growing season of spring and autumn, the soil is dry and wet, and it is fleshy and dormant in summer. When the soil is dry and wet in the morning and evening, the temperature is lower than 10℃ in winter, and when the soil is dry and wet in the afternoon, the water will be cut off directly.

4. Lighting equipment

Although succulents have different requirements for light according to different varieties, in general, they prefer the growth conditions with sufficient light, giving sufficient light in the growing season, shading in time in summer and seeing more sunshine in winter.

5, fertilization

Fleshy meat has little demand for fertilizer and water. When changing pots in spring and autumn every year, just mix cake fertilizer, bone meal or slow-release fertilizer at the bottom of the pots as the base fertilizer.

Second, the attention of succulents

1, topdressing in time

The growth of succulents is inseparable from the absorption of nutrients, and the supply of nutrients needs timely topdressing. It is necessary to dilute the fertilizer before topdressing to avoid burning the plants.

2, pest control

Even if the meat has no symptoms of illness, you need to spray some medicine to prevent illness.

Characteristics of succulents:

1, succulent stems and leaves

Succulents are called succulents because their stems and leaves are highly fleshy, which is different from other plants. The fleshy part is round and full, containing a lot of water and nutrients, and the color is mostly green. Some varieties look shiny, while others have white powder. After the stems and leaves are broken, water will also flow out of them.

2, not cold and heat resistant

Most succulents are produced in areas with warm seasons, and there are few high and low temperatures among environmental species, so their cold tolerance and heat resistance are poor, and it is difficult to adapt to high temperature in summer and severe cold in winter. Therefore, when carrying out maintenance in hot summer, we should do a good job of cooling down to avoid humid climate. In winter, you need to put a plastic bag on the flowerpot to keep warm.

3. I don't like water and fertilizer

Fleshy stems and leaves can store water and nutrients, so they can flourish in barren and arid areas. If there is too much water and fertilizer, it will affect the normal growth of plants. Therefore, in the daily maintenance of meat quality, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the number of watering, but each watering needs to be thoroughly watered. Applying decomposed organic fertilizer once a month can meet the growth needs of plants.
