The selection of succulent plant soil requires looseness and air permeability, good drainage and certain water holding capacity. The pH value should be 5-7, which is the most suitable, between slight acid and neutral. But this is a general presentation. Different kinds of succulent naturally have their own most suitable soil. You can learn more about .
Generally speaking, the watering of succulent plants should follow the following principles.
① stop watering during the dormancy period of the plant. For plants in the growing period, it is necessary to ensure that they can fully meet the water demand.
Second, the number of watering is more for young plants and less for adult plants.
③ more water should be used in flowering period, and less water should be used after fruit ripening and falling off.
④ plants with more and thinner leaves should be watered more, while those with less and thicker leaves should be watered less.
⑤ plants of terrestrial type need less water, and those of epiphytic type also need less water.
⑥ when watering, try not to sprinkle water on the fleshy page, so that the leaves will burn after the sun shines.
Succulent plants generally like warm and large temperature difference between day and night. In addition to necessary shading, the light must be sufficient and soft.
In addition to winter, epiphytic succulent plants should be shaded, especially in summer, and cooling measures should be taken when appropriate. The shading degree should be more than 50%. Although Epiphyllum and lotus have a certain degree of cold resistance, winter warmth is more conducive to flowering in the next year.
The fertilization of succulent plants should be carried out in the peak growing season and flower bud stage.
Organic fertilizer must be fully decomposed, and chemical fertilizer should be added as needed.
Generally speaking, the ratio of NPK is 5:15:10 or 5:10:10, and some trace elements should be added.
It is better to apply fertilizer lightly than intensively. If necessary, the number of times of applying fertilizer can be added. In particular, do not apply fertilizer to plants with too high concentration, damaged roots, poor growth or cut stems and leaves.
Sowing time control: Generally speaking, fleshy sowing does not require time, as long as the temperature can be controlled at about 14-24 degrees, you can sow yo ~ but pay attention not to sow in summer!
Preparation of sowing equipment: Seedling basin, succulent seeds, potassium permanganate solution, ceramsite at the bottom, sowing soil, A4 paper, non-woven cotton at the bottom, tweezers.
Sowing method: first of all, place the non-woven fabric at the bottom of the seedling basin. If there is no non-woven fabric, you can choose to replace it with something that is permeable but impervious to soil.
Secondly, put ceramsite in the seedling basin, about one third of the seedling basin. Of course, ceramsite can also be replaced by other granular soil. You don't have to prepare it according to ceramsite.
Then, put the early prepared planting soil in. The planting soil can be purchased or configured by yourself. If you want to make it by yourself, you can mix the peat soil, vermiculite, granular soil, sand and chicken manure in the proportion of about 10:5:3:2:1 to use it. Remember to level the planting soil at last.~
The next step is disinfection. Soak the prepared potassium permanganate solution in the basin. When all the plants have been saturated with water, take it out of the basin and drain the dripping water slightly.
After detoxification, the most important step is sowing. Fold the prepared A4 paper, put the succulent seeds on the A4 paper, make the succulent seeds line up, and then gently flick the A4 paper to evenly sprinkle the seeds in the seedling basin. This step is very important, we must pay attention to the strength of our fingers, because if we are not careful, we will pile the seeds in the same place, so we must be careful in this step, be careful again!
The last step, in fact, is to cover the soil, but generally speaking, meat is not to cover the soil, it is to cover the soil, but also to be very shallow, about 1-2 mm is enough, if you are not sure about your accuracy, then you can omit this step ~
Cover the cover of the seedling basin, put it in the shade to moisturize, remember to open it for ventilation every day, and wait until the seedling is ready.
Note that spray must be done with a very fine sprayer.
Tools needed for transplanting: new flowerpots, soil, meat needed for transplanting.
In fact, the steps of transplanting are very simple. First of all, we need to prepare the new flowerpot for transplanting here and put the soil we have already prepared.
Then, we turn the fleshy soil over and knock it gently. The fleshy soil is usually very loose, and the chance comes out. In addition, you can use your fingers to gently touch the soil nearby to remove the fleshy soil.
Dig a small hole in the prepared flowerpot, put the meat into the small hole, fill the soil from the side net to the appropriate height.
Finally, sort out the redundant pictures, clean them up, and the fleshy transplanting is finished. Isn't it very simple?
In fact, the planting of succulent is the same as that of transplanting, but it omits the step of taking out succulent.
