The female chick is a succulent plant of the genus Echeveria in the Sedum family. Its mini size and pink withering in spring and autumn are very cute. Put a pot of this plant in a cold room, it will be so relaxing! Next, let’s take a look at the methods and precautions for raising female chicks!

Soil selection for female chicks

Soil selection for female chicks

Every time we talk about succulents, the issue of soil matching is mentioned. Only if you choose the right soil, maintenance will be easier. The soil for female chicks is usually one part each of peat + vermiculite + perlite, and an appropriate amount of bone meal is added. You can also mix and prepare 3 parts of leaf mold soil, 3 parts of river sand, 1 part of garden soil, and 1 part of furnace slag.

To make it simpler, just buy succulent-specific soil, mix it with some sand, and disinfect it before use.

How to water female chicks

Spring and autumn are the growing seasons for female chicks, so they should be given adequate moisture. Pay attention to water control in the hot summer season. Just give a small amount of water. It does not need to be watered thoroughly. When watering, be careful not to let the water reach the center of the leaves when the sun is strong. As long as the temperature is controlled above 0℃, the owner can supply water, and if the temperature is below 0℃, the water will be cut off.

When to water, choose a warmer time at noon in spring and winter, and a cooler time in the afternoon or evening in summer. Don't water as you please regardless of time.

Light requirements of female chicks

The female chicks need to receive sufficient light, so that the plant shape will be compact and beautiful, and the red color of the leaves will be more obvious and more ornamental. You can try full sun care, with appropriate shade in midsummer.

How to slow down female chicks

Slowing down seedlings is a problem that everyone will encounter. How to make the newly purchased female chicks grow better? I just bought a female chick, so plant it in moist soil. After planting, place it in a bright and ventilated place for 1 to 2 weeks, then gradually increase the light. During this period, you can water it as appropriate. Maintain good ventilation to avoid the growth of bacteria and black rot.

Temperature requirements of female chicks

The most suitable temperature for the growth of female chicks is 15~25℃ (this is the case for most meats), and the temperature in winter cannot be lower than 5℃. In summer, they can be cultured in the open air, but if the temperature is higher than 35°C, they should be moved to a bright scattered light, and the water should be slowly cut off. There will be less water throughout the dormant period. After the temperature drops in mid-September, breeding can be resumed.

Female chicks that have adapted to the environment can still grow normally in summer, and the dormancy phenomenon is not very obvious.
