1, fleshy stems and leaves
Succulent plants have different appearance characteristics due to different families and genera, but the leaves of succulent plants are relatively thick, with cutin or wax coated with white powder, and the stems and leaves of plants are highly fleshy, with thick and full leaves, mostly green in color, some shiny, and some with white powder on their surfaces.
2, not resistant to cold and heat
Most succulents are produced in warm environment, and their heat resistance and cold resistance are relatively poor. Therefore, it is difficult for plants to adapt to the high temperature in summer and the cold season in winter, so they need to be placed in a shade shed to cool down in summer and kept warm in a greenhouse in winter.
3, don't like water and fertilizer
The succulent stems and leaves of succulent plants can store a lot of water, so the plants can develop normally in a dry environment. If the fertility is too sufficient, it will affect the growth of succulent plants. During the maintenance period, the soil is generally watered after drying out, and the fertilization frequency can be maintained once a month.
Matters needing attention in curing succulent meat
1, select robust and cold-resistant succulents.
There are many varieties of succulents, so novices can choose some plants that are cold-resistant and very good at adapting to the environment, such as the common succulents of Sedum or Eupatorium. Choosing cold-tolerant plants does not mean that these succulents can be maintained under extreme conditions for a long time, and succulents with thick cortex can be raised.
2. Full direct light
Many plants and flowers can't get too much sunlight, but succulents need as much sunlight as possible to grow well. However, when the temperature is too high in summer, they should be properly shaded. When the temperature is high, the afternoon sunshine is particularly poisonous, so it is necessary to pull a sunshade net or move it to a semi-shady place to avoid excessive exposure.
