raising succulent will inevitably encounter the problem of succulent not rooting, especially some old piles of succulents, which are very expensive when buying them. When buying them, they plant them in a flowerpot at home, but they do not grow rooting for a long time. It is very uncomfortable to encounter such problems. After all, plants bought for a high price will face death if they don’t grow rooting, and the money for buying succulent will be wasted.
For succulents, we can choose other methods to solve the problem, such as the agent to promote plant roots, or the invented plant materials. Many methods can stimulate the roots of succulent plants . The key is whether you use it reasonably.
Recommend two kinds of hair root planting materials for you, which will definitely be of great help to you in growing succulents in the future. Friends who don’t believe it can give it a try. It is definitely more effective than if you use nutrient soil or granular soil to grow roots.
River Sand:
River Sand is very familiar with everyone and can be seen everywhere around you. Whether in your hometown or in the city, be careful and you will definitely find the figure of River Sand. Among the many planting materials, River Sand is the most powerful tool to promote the roots of plants. It can grow succulents and can also make the roots of succulents better.
River sand itself does not contain any bacteria or bacteria, and it has high permeability and transparency. The river sand itself will not accumulate water, but the river sand has high permeability. The external oxygen can also penetrate well into the river sand. Therefore, it is quite obvious to use river sand to promote the roots of plants.
Clean river sand is soaked with potassium permanganate . The sterilization effect of potassium permanganate is the most obvious. The prerequisite for promoting the roots of the plants is to ensure that the planting materials of the roots are clean and hygienic. The river sand is placed in the sun for a few days, dried thoroughly before use. Put the river sand directly into the flower pot, buried 1/2 of the succulent in the river sand, poured it with water, and placed under natural light. Next, wait for the roots to grow.
Plants grown with river sand can grow roots in only two weeks. For safety reasons, don’t rush to remove the succulents and keep the river sand wet. Wait until the roots have the pots grown, and then transplant them into peat soil.
Vermiculite :
Vermiculite is a natural mineral, not artificially synthesized. Small-sized vermiculite is the most advantageous for promoting the rooting of succulent plants. In a desperate situation, use river sofa roots in the early stage, and use vermiculite in the later stage. If vermiculite is not enough to allow the plant to grow roots, the last way is hydroponic. 100% of the succulents grown in water can grow roots. In the end, even hydroponics cannot grow roots, so the succulents can only be thrown away.
Personally I prefer to use vermiculite. Vermiculite costs 10 yuan for a long time, and its root effect is also the most obvious, as long as it is to keep it moist. Vermiculite has the ability to absorb water and vapor, and at the same time it dissipates moisture very quickly. Basically, watering is required every three or five days apart. It must be kept moist in order to allow the plant to grow roots.
