The succulent peach egg is one of the most popular succulent plants , famous for its round and smooth leaves. When there is sufficient sunlight, its leaves will show brilliant colors, which are very ornamental. The maintenance process of peach egg is very simple. It only needs one leaf to reproduce, and its germination and branching ability is very strong. It can grow rapidly and fill the entire pot . Let’s learn how to grow peach egg succulent so that it will bloom out of the pot.

1. Choose the right flower pot

Peach Egg Succulent Plant prefers a loose and breathable soil environment. When planting at home, it is recommended to use ceramic pots or clay pots with good air permeability and water permeability. When making your own flower pots, you need to open air holes at the bottom to enhance air permeability and water permeability. When choosing a flowerpot, you should choose a size that is slightly larger than the plant to avoid water accumulation and root rot caused by being too large. For old peach egg stumps, it is recommended to use a tall pot to support the hanging growth of the stems.

2. Soil configuration

Soil configuration should be adjusted according to plant size. Small peach egg plants need more nutrient soil to promote root development, while large plants or old stumps need to increase the proportion of granular soil to control the plant shape and promote small, full and upright leaves.

3. Reasonable watering

Watering succulents is a technical job, and unreasonable watering may cause the death of the plants. The watering of peach eggs should be adjusted according to the dryness and wetness of the soil, seasonal changes and regional humidity differences. The frequency of watering can be increased appropriately during the spring and autumn growing seasons, but make sure the soil is breathable and permeable to avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering during high temperatures in summer, choose to water the plant in moderation in the evening, and ensure good ventilation.

4. Ensure adequate lighting

Peach eggs love sunlight, especially the soft sunlight in spring and autumn, which is conducive to their growth and coloring. Lack of light can lead to difficulty in coloring and leggy growth. During the high temperatures in summer, appropriate shade is needed to protect the leaves from damage. In winter, you need to keep warm while ensuring sufficient sunlight to maintain the color.

5. Promote blooming

Peach egg plants can easily form clusters through side buds, especially during the peak growing seasons in spring and autumn. By maintaining sufficient nutrients and light, the growth of side buds can be promoted, creating a pot-bursting effect. In addition, pinching can encourage the plant to produce more side buds. Newly grown side shoots need to be protected from strong direct sunlight to avoid sunburn.

6. Cultivate old piles

The peach egg plant grows quickly and it only takes time to form an old stump. Clean up dead or old leaves in spring and autumn every year, expose the stems, and place them under sufficient light to promote the lignification of the stems and form old stumps. For greenhouse cultivation that pursues quick results, you can promote stem growth by watering abundantly and reducing light, and then increase light and remove the bottom leaves to accelerate the lignification process.

7. Outdoor cultivation

Raising peach eggs outdoors helps them to be in better condition. As long as the outdoor temperature is suitable (5℃ to 28℃) and ventilation is good, peach eggs can be grown outdoors. The peach eggs that are grown outdoors for a long time are pinker in color and their stems and leaves are more upright. However, you need to pay attention to weather forecasts to prevent waterlogging caused by continuous rainy days, as well as take precautionary measures during the typhoon season in southern regions. At the same time, avoid damage from animals , especially birds.

In short, for many friends who are new to succulent cultivation, it is still a bit difficult to easily grow the succulent plant to the point where it overflows the pot. You can refer to the above content based on actual conditions.
