The planting of plants is always inseparable from three points, including water, medium, light and meat. Light affects the growth of plants more, which belongs to the progressive class. But water and medium can directly affect the life and death of plants. There are many kinds of novice planters. When they start to plant something, they always use some soil at will, and water the plants with enthusiasm and care every day … and then … there is no more …

The soil is loose, breathable and well drained, but it has a certain water retention capacity and is neutral or slightly acidic. There are many media suitable for succulent planting, but it is very important to be sterile. The direct cause of succulent death is often rot, and there is only one direct cause of plant rot, which is fungal infection. In the process of transplanting succulent meat, if the medium itself carries various germs, combined with improper care in the later stage (such as frequent watering), it is easy to cause fungal infection.

Therefore, in the initial selection of soil, we should choose sterile or sterilized soil. There are two common ways to sterilize, one is to use fungicides such as carbendazim. The other one can be sterilized by high temperature. For example, I have heard that some people stir-fry in a pot and some people bake the soil in a microwave oven. Good medium, good start.

The principle of watering is that when the soil is dry, it will be soaked. If it is difficult to judge whether the soil is dry or not, you can insert a toothpick in the soil. Usually, it depends on the degree of dryness and wetness of the toothpick when watering. Seeing dry and seeing wet is a common term in flower planting, which means watering thoroughly once, and then watering for the second time when the soil is almost dry. Its function is to prevent root rot caused by excessive watering and diseases and pests caused by humidity. Of course, there is no need to be so harsh. As long as it is not watered too frequently, it will generally not cause fleshy death.

Meat people like sunshine very much, and they will grow better with a certain amount of light. In fact, it is not difficult to plant succulents. In fact, it is only necessary to raise them roughly! Many novices raise succulents because they are watered too often. If you have any good suggestions and opinions, please add them.
