Succulent plants have become very popular in recent years. Whether it is on the balcony at home or on the desk in the office, you can always see them. For succulent lovers, the Little Red Coat breed should be familiar. However, the breeding difficulty of Xiaohongyi is a bit higher than that of other succulents, especially in summer, when it is more difficult to survive. Below we will share some things you need to pay attention to when planting red coats.

1. Soil precautions

1. Precautions for soil

Sandy soil is the best choice. Sandy soil can drain well and is relatively breathable. On the one hand, it is conducive to the drainage of accumulated water, and on the other hand, it is also conducive to root growth. . Adding some leaf mold to the sandy soil can make the soil more nutrient-rich. Substances such as perlite or bluestone can also be added to the soil. Repot the plant every one or two years in the spring. When repotting, remove old roots that are not growing well.

2. Lighting precautions

Little Red Clothes likes light. The better the lighting conditions and the greater the temperature difference between day and night, the better and denser the leaves will grow, and the more colorful the leaves will be. On the contrary, if there is insufficient light, it will be detrimental to the photosynthesis of the leaves, causing the leaves to become lighter and sparse. Therefore, when the temperature is generally suitable, it is recommended to place the little red coat in a sunny place. But summer is its dormant period, so pay attention to shade.

3. Watering precautions

Wait until the pot is completely dry before watering, and water thoroughly when watering. When watering, pay attention to watering on the soil, not on the leaves, which will affect the appearance, and do not water on the flower core, which will easily cause the flower core to rot. In summer, try not to water. During the plum rain season, the weather is humid and watery, so watering can be suspended.

4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

Scale insects are the number one pest killer of little red coats, and they are generally more common in the roots and center of leaves. Once scale insects are discovered, the parts with the worms should be removed decisively. In order to better prevent this kind of insect infestation, you can mix a small amount of soil insecticide into the soil when planting.

In the hot summer, when ventilation conditions become poor and high temperatures and humidity occur, the plants, especially the roots, of Xiaohongyi are prone to rot and turn black. Once blackening and rot occur, the diseased parts should be separated from other healthy plants immediately to prevent infection. If the symptoms are mild, you can remove the rotten area, apply chlorothalon and other antiseptic drugs to the wound, and then continue to insert it into the soil after the wound is dry to grow new roots.
