Soil: succulent plant is suitable for the soil with good permeability, dryness, asepsis and insecticidal. Light: enough, shade in summer, full day in other seasons. Water content: pour less and thoroughly. Temperature: 12-28 ℃, above 8 ℃ in winter, below 35 ℃ in summer. Fertilizer: apply thin fertilizer frequently, reduce fertilization in dormancy period.

1. Soil

The succulent plant is suitable to use the soil with good permeability, dryness and asepsis. For beginners, it is recommended to mix perlite and coconut bran (1:2) to make the matrix, which is suitable for the growth needs of most succulent plants. For the dry climate in the north, it is necessary to increase the moisture retention of the soil; for the wet and rainy weather in the south, it is necessary to improve the drainage performance of the soil.

2. Light

The growth of succulent plants needs sufficient light. Too little light or dark environment will lead to overgrowth. When raising more meat indoors, it is suitable to place it in a sunny window or balcony. In summer, if the temperature is too high, a shading net with a shading rate of 70% can be used, and the sun exposure at 12-15 hours can be avoided; in other seasons, the sun can be fully accepted.

3. Moisture

The principle of watering succulent plants is to water them less and thoroughly, to avoid rotten roots and black rot caused by water accumulation in the basin; too much water is not conducive to the shape of succulent plants. In the two season of spring and autumn, it is the growing season of meat. When the leaves begin to dry out, the best time is watering. Summer is the season of meat dormancy, and spray water is the main way to keep the surface of the basin moist.

4. Temperature

The origin of succulent plants is South Africa, and the most suitable growth temperature is 12-28 ℃, so spring and autumn are the most vigorous seasons for succulent plants. In the family raise more meat to ensure that the winter room temperature is more than 8 degrees Celsius, summer room temperature is less than 35 degrees Celsius, and pay attention to ventilation and cooling.

5. Fertilizer

The succulent plant has a low dependence on fertilizer, but moderate fertilization can promote its healthy growth. Multi meat fertilization follows the principle of thin fertilizer, spring and autumn season is the best time for fertilization, dormancy period must stop fertilization, to avoid rotten roots.

6. Summary

The most important aspect of raising more meat is to keep enough light and water moderately. The friends in the family should pay attention that the room temperature should not be too low or too high, and use the culture soil with good permeability.
