When planting succulents, choose the type of flower pot according to your own needs. Use peat soil and granules as loam soil and mix it in a ratio of 1:2. At the beginning of planting, water is usually given once every 7-15 days, avoiding normal watering at noon and late. After the initial planting, a half-sun growing environment was provided, and gradually changed to full sun after one month. It can be placed near a window and ventilated frequently to promote air circulation.

1. Selection of potting soil

1. Selection of pot soil

For novices, they should choose the type of flower pot according to their own needs. Ceramic basins are more breathable and drainable, plastic basins save space, and porcelain basins retain water but are not breathable. For the choice of loam, generally peat soil and particles are mixed in a ratio of 1:2. You also need to consider the material of the flower pot.

2. Appropriate watering

At the beginning of planting, do not give too much water. Generally, water once every 7-15 days. Avoid midday and choose to give a small amount along the edge of the flower pot in the evening. After the plants begin to adapt to the environment, start watering gradually and normally. Water less in summer and switch to spraying water. In winter, less water is needed and evaporation is slower, so you need to pay more attention. In spring and autumn, it can be increased appropriately to replenish water.

3. Lighting environment

Just After starting planting, provide a semi-sun growing environment and not be exposed to too much light. After a month or so, you can gradually increase the lighting time and intensity, and finally turn to full sunlight, so as to effectively prevent excessive growth. It should not be exposed to the hot sun in summer and can be placed indoors.

4. Pay attention to ventilation

Ventilation Conditions are also very important for growth. It can be placed near a window and ventilated frequently to promote air circulation.
