Lipstick cultivation methods and precautions

Lipstick is a common succulent plant. If properly maintained, it has a very high ornamental value. It can be said to be enchanting and domineering. The most important thing is that it is simple and easy to grow. Because the edges of the leaves are red, it is called "lipstick".

How to grow succulent lipstick

1. Pot soil

The size of the succulent lipstick plant is relatively small. It can usually be planted in a ceramic pot with a diameter of about 10-20 cm. It prefers loose, fertile sandy soil.

2. Watering

The succulent lipstick needs to be watered frequently during its growth period, but it should avoid long-term waterlogging. Water must not accumulate in the flowerpot, otherwise it will easily cause root rot and corruption of the plant.

3. Lighting

The succulent lipstick plant prefers a full-sun growing environment. Generally speaking, sufficient light can make the plant fuller and greener, but it is most afraid of direct sunlight. The plant needs to be properly shaded at noon in summer.

4. Temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for the succulent lipstick plant is 209-28℃. Spring and autumn are the peak growth periods of the plant, and the temperature in winter cannot be lower than 5℃.

Precautions for caring for succulent lipstick

Although the succulent lipstick plant prefers a cool growing environment, the temperature must be above 5℃ during the winter, so it can be grown outdoors. If the temperature is below 5℃, it must be moved indoors for cultivation.
