Excessive watering can easily cause waterlogging and root rot, and it can also cause the plant to grow too tall. It is not expensive. Normally, wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering, and the plant will get better and better.

Key points for cultivating Red Queen succulent

1. Lighting

The succulent Red Queen needs plenty of sunlight during its growth period, but the light is strong in summer and needs proper shade. If the light is insufficient, the leaves of the Red Queen will grow too long. The Red Queen grown in a sunny place will be short and strong, and the leaves will be arranged compactly and layered.

2. Watering

When watering the succulent Red Queen, remember to water it thoroughly only when it is completely dry. During the growing season, the soil needs to be kept moist. So give it enough water, but be sure to avoid water accumulation in the pot soil.

3. Soil

The succulent plant Red Flower Queen has relatively few requirements for the soil, as long as it is breathable. The soil is a mixture of peat, perlite and cinders, in order to reduce the contact between the succulent plant Red Flower Queen and the soil surface and to increase air permeability.

Therefore, a layer of clean granular river sand or pumice is usually spread on it, and the height of the river sand can be 3-5 mm.

Precautions for the maintenance of Red Flower Queen

The succulent plant Red Flower Queen will hibernate in the summer, and needs ventilation and shade, and watered 3-4 times a month. A small amount of water needs to be given at the edge of the pot to prevent the roots of Red Flower Queen from drying out due to excessive dryness.

If the temperature in winter is below 3 degrees, you can gradually cut off water. When the temperature is below 0 degrees, you must keep the soil in the pot dry so that you can safely spend the winter.
