How much soil should be put in the succulent flower pot

1. How much soil to put

It is relatively simple to care for succulent plants, and there is no fixed requirement for the amount of soil needed. If the plant is relatively large, you can use a larger flowerpot and fill it with soil basically, up to about 2-3 cm from the edge of the flowerpot. This will make it easier to water and fertilize later, and it will not be too full and overflow. However, it cannot be too low, otherwise the soil will not be good enough and the roots will not be able to absorb enough nutrients. In addition, with regular watering, the soil surface will sink, which will cause part of the roots to be exposed, which may damage the roots and affect the absorption function. If the plant is small, the flowerpot used will also be smaller, so less soil will be needed. Too much soil will not be conducive to later growth.

2. Other requirements

After 1-2 years of cultivation, the pot needs to be changed and the soil can be refilled. When succulents grow, the roots cannot tolerate water and moisture. Long-term accumulation of water will cause the roots to rot, so the soil should be breathable and contain certain nutrients. It can be prepared with peat soil, fine sand, and expanded clay. It can also be prepared with garden soil, humus soil, and vermiculite. The effect is also good. The specific proportion can be adjusted according to requirements.
