Novices who want to raise succulent should use peat , or use pellets? Decide based on these two situations!
There are two most commonly used flower soils for growing succulents. One is the most commonly used peat soil on the market, and the other is granular soil. Various particles are mixed together to become granular soil. There are two types of soil. Succulents can be grown in any soil. This is only for Crassulaceae succulents. Succulents from other subjects need to be matched by yourself.
Peat soil and granular soil each have their own benefits, and the succulents grown in peat soil are also different. The properties of the two soils are different, and the growth rate of the succulents grown in peat soil is very different. The growth rate of succulents grown in peat soil is faster. Faster, the leaves will be fuller, and the resistance of the succulents will be higher. The only advantage of the succulents grown in granular soil is that the root system is very developed and the growth rate is very slow.
For novices raising succulents, should they use peat soil or granular soil?
Granular soil is only for lazy behavior. To raise succulents, using granular soil can avoid root rot, because granular soil itself cannot hold water. Every time you water, the excess water will quickly evaporate in a short time. The succulent roots will not be soaked in wet soil, and the chance of root rot is minimized. The peat soil itself has a certain degree of water absorption. Every time you water, the excess water cannot be dissipated in a short period of time.
The soil produces accumulated water, which cannot be dissipated in a short period of time. If it is not properly maintained, it may cause rotten roots of succulents. If you can control the frequency of watering, there will be no threat to the growth of succulents. , the flower soil is kept slightly dry, and the fleshy roots will not rot.
In fact, I recommend that you use peat soil to plant succulents. The succulents grown will be healthier, especially during daily maintenance. It only needs to be watered once every 20 or 30 days, and the number of times of watering in a year should not exceed 20 times, it is very worry-free and hassle-free to grow more succulents. If you use pellets, you basically need to water them once a week.
Buy the finished peat soil directly from the Internet. The peat soil is mixed with perlite . The ratio can be controlled to 7:3 or 8:2. The mixture is even and it is very practical to plant succulents. The only thing required for succulents grown in peat soil is control. With easy watering, the remaining succulents will be able to take root and grow by themselves, making maintenance much easier and more convenient.
If you can’t control the frequency of watering, you always like to water more. In this case, you can use granules. Granules can support succulents without rotting the roots, and the rooting speed is very fast. If you water them once a week, the succulents will not be affected. There will be a problem, but the growth rate of succulents raised on pellets is relatively slow. If necessary, especially in spring, we need to artificially fertilize.
Regarding the use of flower soil, peat soil is the main choice. Use granules as a last resort. We will treat it in two cases.
