succulent plant purchased online. Unless someone else has prepared the soil and then put it in the pot, it is recommended to repair the roots yourself and repot it after the soil is added. Even if you plant the soil succulent with small pots, it is recommended to remove the soil and then repair the roots and repot it. Do you know the reason?
In the appropriate season, if the weather is particularly hot there and the temperature is above 33 degrees, you can wait and buy online, and wait until the temperature drops below 30 degrees before buying, so that succulents can better adapt to the new environment.
If the temperature is 15~28 degrees, the recovery speed of succulents will be faster. Don’t rush to buy succulents if the temperature is too low or too high, especially if you buy succulents online.
There are some potted succulents after buying them from the market or online, some people like to repot with soil and add some new granular soil or peat soil, etc. The small succulent soil mass is completely different from the newly added soil, and its breathability and drainage properties are different, which will cause the root system to grow and the watering cannot be grasped properly. Soon the soil mass in the center will accumulate water or be too dry and hang up.
The potting soil for planting succulent plants should be determined based on the local climate and maintenance habits. The general succulent soil combination scheme is to use peat soil + granular soil, mix in a 1:1 ratio. Pay attention to choosing coarse particles of peat. Granular soil can be mixed with two or three kinds, such as cinder, volcanic stone , red jade soil , slag soil, light stone or maifan stone, etc.
. Root repair and dry root
Whether it is succulent with bare roots or succulent with potting soil, it is recommended to put it in the pot after root repair, unless the merchant has shipped the roots, it is directly put into the pot after the roots are repaired.
The principle of root-mixing is very simple. If you find that the withered roots are cut off, and if you are too thin and weak, you will keep the main root and strong lateral roots. If you find that succulent plants have withered and yellow leaves at the bottom, you should also clean them up in time to prevent breeding bacteria or pests.
After trimming the root system, you can place it in a ventilated and shaded place to dry the wound. Generally, it will be basined after two or three days.
5. Pay attention to
. Plant succulents and do not choose too large flower pots. The flower pot is a small circle larger than the succulent plants. Novice recommends using red pots, plastic pots with particularly many drainage holes, or choose ceramic pots with particularly large drainage holes.
Spray water to moisten the soil in the pot of succulents to keep the soil a little damp, but don’t be too moist. Just spray a little mist water. A little moisture in the soil is enough.
Do not plant succulents too deep to ensure that the leaves at the bottom of the plant are on the soil surface. If the leaves are stuck in the soil, if the soil is too moist for a period of time, it will easily cause the leaves to rot. It is best to have a slightly higher leaf at the bottom of the plant than the soil. Try to spread the roots of succulents, and do not let the roots become a ball and plant them.
After the succulents are planted, you can lay stones on the soil.
After the succulents are planted, they will be cultivated in a ventilated and translucent place. After about 3 to 5 days, they will gradually see light. The soil in the pot feels very dry. Then water the soil around the pot. Be careful not to pour it on the leaves, and there is no water accumulation on the leaves often.
