When is the right time to sow succulent plants?

Succulent plant sowing time

Succulent plants generally refer to succulents, also known as succulent plants, which are perennial herbs that can be propagated by sowing, cuttings, division, grafting, etc. They can germinate about a week after sowing, but there will be differences between different varieties.

The best time to sow succulent plants is in spring from March to April, because the temperature rises and the daylight hours become longer at this time. It is the golden period for the growth of succulent plants and the survival rate is also the highest.

1. Prepare the soil

Suitable soil is very important for succulent plants. You can usually use peat soil, sand, and pebbles to prepare it. It must be disinfected before use to prevent bacteria from growing and infecting the seeds.

2. Sowing

The seeds of succulent plants are relatively small and can be sown into the soil using a toothpick. Do not cover them with soil after sowing. You can cover the surface with a layer of plastic film so that the seeds can germinate better.
