Why do more and more people like to grow succulents? There are several reasons why so many people like to grow succulents.

First of all, most succulents are drought-tolerant and very afraid of water. It is easier to maintain them without watering or with less water than with too much water. It can be said that this is also the favorite of the "lazy" people.

Secondly, succulents are not only small, cute and beautiful, but also not difficult to maintain. As long as we master their growth habits and watering amounts, even a novice can grow them well.

Of course, if you want to grow succulents into good shape, you have to put in some effort.

In addition, potted succulents do not take up much space, which makes them more suitable for enjoying the fun of growing succulents at home. As a result, more and more people have fallen in love with succulents.

So, how to grow succulents well? What issues should we pay attention to?

(1) Planting process

Use a small shovel to dig a hole in the middle of the potting soil, carefully place the thin roots of the succulent into the hole, use special soil for growing succulents to fill the roots of the succulents, gently shake or tap the wall of the pot with your hand to make the soil fit tightly against the roots.

Then place 1-2 cm thick paving particles on the surface of the soil. Use tweezers to remove the debris left on the surface of the succulents, and then blow away the remaining soil on the surface with your mouth.

(2) Watering to establish roots

When potting succulents, they should be planted in moist soil. A small amount of water should be poured one day after potting, and then watered thoroughly again after 3 to 5 days depending on the actual situation.

If the soil is dry, use a fine spray bottle with a pointed tip to add water to the paving stone particles. Note: Newly planted succulents are strictly prohibited from being exposed to the sun, watered with large amounts of water, fertilized, or sprayed with drugs. They should be placed in a well-ventilated place for cultivation.
