Soil: When preparing soil, in addition to the basic requirements, attention should also be paid to the combination of organic and inorganic materials. Flower pot: The flower pot can be purple sand pot. Watering: Watering does not need to be done at a fixed frequency. It is necessary to observe the status of the plants and soil and decide whether to water accordingly. Lighting: Provide sufficient lighting. If this is not possible, use fluorescent lamps instead.

1. Soil preparation

1. Soil preparation

The soil used for cultivating succulents can be purchased directly online, but experienced growers generally choose to prepare it themselves. Therefore, in addition to the basic requirements of looseness, good air permeability, and good drainage, it is also necessary to pay attention to the reasonable combination of organic materials and inorganic materials to achieve the best effect. Organic materials such as leaf mold soil, peat soil, etc. should be mainly organic. Inorganic materials such as vermiculite, perlite, etc., as auxiliary materials, can effectively improve air permeability and water permeability.

2. Choose a purple sand basin

In addition to soil, you should also pay attention to the selection of pots. Ceramic pots absorb water relatively well, but they can easily carry heavy loads, so they need to be placed in a stable place. Purple sand basins are more breathable, so this type is generally chosen, and the basin wall is thinner.

3. Watering by observation

There is no specific rule for watering succulents. It is best to judge based on the condition of the plants and soil. If the plant's leaves are drooping, or shriveled, and the soil is dry, it needs watering. Moreover, the time for watering in summer should not be at noon, but in the early morning. In winter it can be done on a clear afternoon.

4. Fluorescent lamp fill-in light

Some species will become dim in color if they do not have sufficient light. Therefore, if there is not enough light, you can use fluorescent lamps to supplement it slightly. However, there is no way for fluorescent lamps to completely replace sunlight.
