succulents have therapeutic effects. They are overloaded on weekdays, so they take 10 minutes to organize and have a happy mood. For succulent maintenance, patience is the most important thing. If you are not familiar with it, you need to spend more time studying. Especially succulents need special care methods in each season, and the varieties are also poor, which is more difficult than imagined. However, the three key points are sunlight, air, and water. Adjust according to the situation and take care of them regularly. If you are too hot in summer, you should check the condition of the plant for at least two days.
No.1 Are succulents really easy to take care of?
Actually, depending on the types, I thought it was simple and casual to plant, but as a result, I had many empty pots packed within one month. Later, I gradually realized that various varieties will change in different seasons. I heard the three words "Sunshine, Air, and Water". These three elements need to be adjusted according to the situation.
No.2 What will cause succulent death?
There are many ways to die, please refer to the following guide to death of succulents:
1. Water every day. (Most of them grow in difficult environments, and there is no need to overdode)
2. Water them in the middle of the day. (The water will immediately get hot and the basin will become like a steam chamber to suffocate the roots)
3. There are no holes at the bottom of the basin. (Because the roots require air circulation, it can speed up the circulation of moisture)
4. Summer. (Especially in summer in Taiwan, it is very stuffy and humid, and I clear out many empty pots in summer)
5. Pests. (The most terrible thing is powder scale insect . The potion cannot kill it from time to time. The powder on the body will take the potion away. Try stabbing it one by one with a needle)
6. Bacteria. (Sickness often occurs when jelly leaves fall on the topsoil and start to rot, and start to infect the entire plant and die)
No.3 What should I pay attention to in the succulents?
1. After long sunshine, succulents grow in a desert-like environment. If the sunlight is not strong enough, you will find that the distance between each leaf begins to lengthen, which is not gorgeous or cute at this time.
2. Water according to the variety, the amount of water will not be studied thoroughly. Based on my environment (full sunshine, awning, and a ventilated place on the fifth floor), the temperature difference between autumn, winter and spring and night is large. When it is close to winter, I will choose to water it for 1-2 weeks, depending on the situation; water less when it is hot in summer and spring and autumn, and a small amount of water will not be poured thoroughly once a month. Some varieties are prone to dryness and need to occasionally spray water mist or move it to the shade area.
3. The most important thing is to cultivate succulents. If you want to raise succulents well, you must seriously discuss this part. The environment, variety, and watering habits all have their own formulas. My lazy method is to use large-grain coal coke stones on the bottom layer, and medium-grained red jade soil mixed medium-grained fine-grained coal coke stones on the top soil, and cover the middle-grained red jade soil. Every famous succulent store sells special-adjusting medium formulas, which are still not suitable for environmental factors. It is recommended to buy medium as the middle layer, and the bottom layer is matched with super hydrophobic medium, which can prevent itching from being thoroughly poured into the soil so as not to rot at the roots. It is best to lay a single red jade on the top soil, which is simple and beautiful.
No.4 How to take care of different succulent varieties?
1. The cactus part is placed in a pot in summer and water it thoroughly until it is thorough. Because it is very necessary for nutrients during the growing season.
2. Common Sedanke Be careful of stuffyness, pay attention to whether the sunlight is sufficient, too much moisture, and low sunlight will make their necks grow and become a bit ugly. In the cool season, do not overwater a small amount of water. In autumn, with large temperature difference between day and night, the moisture is limited. Some varieties will see the color turning red and dense leaves. This is the so-called succulent people pursue beautiful appearance in the cool growing season. (I often see dry and cold climate areas in Japan and Europe. Most succulents are bright red and full in color)
3. Children from the Lily family and Asteraceae like to drink water. In summer, they use water sprayers to add water mist, otherwise it will be easy to empty the pot.
4. Euphorbia should pay special attention to it. It is not that it is difficult to maintain. Their wounds will have white milk. As long as you touch it, remember to wash your hands thoroughly or simply wear gloves. Once, during treatment, your fingers were dipped in milk and washed your hands three times, but after rubbing your eyes, your eyes immediately began to burn and burst into tears. It stopped after the emergency department. During this period, your eyes were red and painful. If you directly sucked into the eyeball, you may be blind.
5. If you want to put plants indoors, please use air pineapples. It is also very good to live in the air-conditioned room. As long as some dry water is soaked in water for 15 minutes, it is hard to make it hard immediately. Remember to quickly turn it dry after soaking in water to avoid root rot.
No.5 Is it okay to raise succulent indoors?
It is not recommended to keep indoors at all. The indoors are usually stuffy and the amount of water is more difficult to adjust. If there is no sunlight, it will become strange in shape. It is very suitable for air pineapple just mentioned.
No.6 Recommend succulents that are easy to take care of?
The following types of succulent plants are recommended, such as Luanyue (usually ed stone lotus , which can grow and live as you like, and it is not bad to be in the wild rain), Bai Ji's dance and Butterfly dance (the typhoon does not need to be collected, it is full of vitality, leaves will grow branches again after falling off), Lace princess and Immortal birds (called the sinister world, with bloodlines of land and rooting, will grow a bunch of children, and will still grow in other pots, and will accidentally occupy the entire garden), Cactus (the beautiful little flowers will bloom in spring), Jade-adhesive series (like a waterfall, it is succulent, and it is easy to burst into pots), and Green Bell and Purple Finger Moon (it will grow like a waterfall, and it will also grow small flowers in plum flavor).
No.7 Will succulent attract mosquitoes?
There are fewer mosquitoes, but if the soil is too dry, it will attract ants to build nests, and if the soil is too stuffy, weather factors will attract scale insects. Others include aphids , spiders, caterpillars, centipedes, etc. Unknown insects are often found in plants. In addition to spraying medicine regularly, I am determined to sprinkle a bunch of pesticides. It is not recommended to have children and pets at home.
No.8 What should I do if a succulent gets sick or has a leaf dry?
Don’t worry too much about dead leaves alone. Plants also need to replace old leaves to retain nutrients. Try to keep them dry and lose their leaves by themselves. New plants will grow at the joints of the stems in half-dry state, and plants will easily start to grow randomly. The jelly leaves become semi-transparent and not dry yet. You should pull them out immediately to check whether the stems or roots are black. You should immediately use clean scissors to remove the plants directly and put them in a cool and ventilated place to observe. If you encounter scale insects, immediately kill the insects one by one, and pay attention to whether there are any missing parts of the leaves. Then take off the basin and brush off all the soil with a toothbrush, soak it in alcohol water to sterilize it.
No.9 How long does it take to water succulents?
I am relatively lazy. I water it once every 1-2 weeks during the cool season (October ~ March). I will not water it when it rains or the sun is too strong. Water it once a month during the hot season (April to September), but it must be watered thoroughly depending on the situation. Skip the rainy season and occasionally spray water mist.
No.10 Do you need to change the soil or add auxiliary fertilizer?
Most succulent plants are purchased in ordinary flower markets with cultivation soil. Remember to change the medium, because the cultivation soil is too full, and centipedes are often found inside. In addition, there are uncertain factors such as insect eggs and ant nests when buying it. It is recommended that you remember to take off the pot and brush the soil clean, put it in a cool place and dry it for a few days, so that the wound can be cured and then planted in a new pot. My succulents grow up by drinking rice washing water. They are simple, natural and clean, and you can also choose chemical fertilizers.
Tips for beginners
In addition to the plants themselves, whether the beauty of the potter affects the growth vision of succulents. If you plant multiple pots, try to raise the height of the plants in the center and the back to create a sense of layering. Put some small plants in front of you. Others are placed shorter around but can be used as the protagonist to plant them. Planting them will give the picture a center of gravity. After the combination, the lines, proportions, directions, and varieties are very mysterious. Try more and take photos to look better. Finally, I would like to remind you not to let your family help you water.
