How to care for Xiuyan succulent

How to maintain

The flowering period of Xiu Yan is from June to August. The flowers are relatively small and are red or purple, but very few people have seen Xiu Yan bloom.

Xiuyan is actually not that difficult to raise and it is easy to grow in groups. Generally, its growing season is in spring, autumn and winter. During these growing seasons, we need to keep the plants exposed to sufficient light to ensure that the plants can grow more compactly and make the color of the leaves darker. However, if there is insufficient light, the center of the plant's leaves will be greener.

As for watering, we can fully water the plants during the above-mentioned growth period. Generally, if the soil feels dry, we can water it thoroughly at once. If you are in the south, about two or three times a month will be enough. Just water it thoroughly when the soil is dry.

Precautions

In summer, if the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, you can control the watering appropriately, and provide appropriate shade and ventilation. Choose loose soil as the substrate, such as coconut coir.

For reproduction, we usually choose to propagate by beheading, while leaf cuttings are not very suitable for the reproduction of Xiu Yan.
