In addition to peat, the most particles are used, because particles have a benefit, and are very permeable, which can prevent the roots of water and rotten roots from occurring in the plant. At present, most people with succulents will choose to use particles to plant them. The effect of using them is better and more obvious. At least in the hot summer season, the roots can be most effectively avoided.
In fact, there is another medium that everyone ignores. It also raises succulents, which is very useful. It is the river sand that can be seen everywhere around us. The cost of growing succulents is very low, especially the river sand after cleaning, without any dust, and the fine river sand particles are very clean, so you can also use it to configure succulents.
Succulents have relatively strong ability to adapt to the environment. They do not have too many requirements for the cultured matrix flower soil. As long as it is soil, they can take root. Of course, the particles cannot be too large. The particles of river sand are just suitable for the growth of plants, especially the succulents we are currently in contact with. Any variety can be cultivated and planted using river sand.
River sand belongs to the smallest specification among the particles, even smaller than one millimeter. There are gaps between the river sand, which can also play a good permeability. The key depends on how you apply it. Usually river sand is used for cuttings to propagate . Most plants can use river sand, which can retain water for a longer period of time and promote the roots of the cutting plants.
Buy the succulents from home, repair the root system and put them on the balcony to dry for a few days. Then you can use river sand for cultivation. Use a small filter net as a cushion at the bottom of the flower pot to avoid the flow of river sand. The flower pot is directly filled with river sand, bury the succulents in the river sand, pour water and put it in the sunlight, and roots can grow in one week.
The succulents cultivated with river sand are faster than the succulents cultivated with peat, mainly because they are more permeable. oxygen can better penetrate into the river sand. The roots of plants also require oxygen while growing, and the roots of succulents can absorb more water and resume growth in a shorter time, especially for those succulents that do not have long roots for a long time. The effect of using river sand is the best.
There are many ways to raise succulents. Don’t be limited to a certain planting material. You can try it all. The succulents raised by different planting methods are also different. River sand is more suitable for southern regions, with sufficient rainwater, high humidity and high temperature. In this environment, river sand is the best effect of using it.
