There are 4 points to pay attention to when raising succulents. There are other wonderful uses at the end of the article
1. Sufficient light
Succulents are naturally sun-loving. In daily breeding, sufficient light must be provided. In the office, there is basically no need to consider this. If it is elsewhere, it is recommended to place it under the window sill. If it is raised in groups, then pay attention to the light. If there is a lack of light, the leaves will become elongated. If there is enough sunlight, the plant will be in good color. However, during high temperatures in summer, the sun must be blocked to avoid direct sunlight. Prevent from sunburning .
2. Proper watering
Succulent plants have strong drought tolerance and low demand for water. They should not be watered too frequently. The soil is prone to water accumulation, which will cause root rot. Winter and summer are dormant periods, so watering is not necessary. The best way is to prepare a large transparent mineral water bottle and put the succulent plant pot inside. When watering, do not water directly from the roots of the plant, but from the extension of the mineral water. Because the transparent bottle allows you to see the water level, as long as the water level is kept at the bottom of the pot.
3. Fertilize correctly.
If it is raised in groups, you can apply some nitrogen fertilizer during the growth stage, and you can apply some potassium fertilizer during the growth stage. Usually 1-2 times a month. During summer dormancy, fertilization should be stopped to prevent excessive nutrition. Causes succulent plants to fail to go dormant.
If it is kept free-range, it basically only needs to be kept hydrated.
4. , Pest and disease control
Succulent plants are susceptible to insect pests. It is necessary to strengthen ventilation, remove dead leaves and other methods for prevention. In spring and summer, you can spray some insecticides. In general, pests rarely occur in cities, and there are basically no pests in offices. I keep it on top of the air conditioning cabinet. No pests appear.
Other wonderful uses
If you feel stressed and anxious, you can stare at the succulents for a few seconds. Just relax and look at them without focusing your eyes. You will feel that the succulents will get bigger and bigger. Then let your brain imagine freely. Imagine being in a jungle of succulents, or some other wonderful scene, and
breathe deeply and rhythmically at the same time. Rhythmic deep breathing means that the frequency of inhalation and exhalation is equal. Breathe deeply, feel the air filling your lungs and stomach, and feel your abdomen rise and fall with your breathing.
After about a minute, you will come back to your senses. Your whole body will feel relaxed and your brain will feel as clear as if you had just had a good night's sleep.
This feels really comfortable.
I do this often and recommend you try it.
