The general planting method of succulents about flowerpots: In the process of planting, I like flowerpots more and more. All kinds of flowerpots are brought home, including porcelain pots, pottery pots, coarse pottery, Korean style, wrought iron and rattan weaving. After planting more, I found that the original flowerpots were different and the management was different. Porcelain pots are impervious, and the watering frequency should be low; Pottery pots are breathable and do not retain water, so the watering frequency will be high; Although the plastic basin is not beautiful, it can save space. Because there are many kinds of flowerpots at home, we can't be lazy in management. Every time we water them, we have to look at them before we do it.
About watering: In fact, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not the best areas to grow succulents. Fortunately, I have been able to arrange their growing places according to the climate and growth habits. Besides the balcony on the second floor, I also have two eaves to shelter from the rain for half a day. In two months (from the end of June to the end of August) when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees (especially 28 degrees at night), some delicate varieties will be moved under these two eaves, while some varieties with strong tolerance (tolerance can be judged simply by price, and generally varieties with low prices are relatively easy to grow) will continue to be fully sunny on the second floor. In the past two months, watering the meat is also a hurdle. Too much water is likely to be black rot or water; You may die if you don't water for a long time. Generally, succulents need half a day in these two months. I give water once every 7- 15 days, and water a little along the basin after sunset. Winter in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is also a troublesome problem. The probability of continuous rain and snow is very high, so generally below 5 degrees, I will move all the meat in the open air to dry clothes in the sun room, and the doors and windows will be open 24 hours a day; The meat on the balcony on the second floor basically doesn't need to be moved. It's sunny and won't get wet. Even if it is MINUS 5 degrees, I will let them spend it there. The main reason for frostbite of low-temperature succulents is that the water content of substrates and leaves is too high, so watering in winter should also be paid attention to. In the coldest 65438+ from the end of February to the end of February, we should give enough sunshine to the meat. The low temperature and strong sunshine will make them color quickly and have a more beautiful shape. In the past two months, my water supply mode is once every 7- 15 days, and a small amount of water is poured along the basin in sunny mornings. Except for the two months in Xia Dong mentioned above, other seasons are dry and rainy, as long as there is plenty of sunshine. If a novice can't remember such detailed steps, he can simply remember one sentence: "Less sun and less water in summer, more sun and less water in other seasons."
About dew cultivation: I planted a lot of meat on the balcony on the second floor, and many of them were exposed on the balcony. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich in meat and have some conditions. First, autumn begins to be exposed. Autumn is the most vigorous season for meat growth and the least rainy season in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. At this time, they can be cultivated in the open air and their endurance can be cultivated. Second, stay strong and then expose. Newly bought plants may be beheaded (that is, they have no roots) and need to sprout when they get home. Plants with roots also need to be delayed, so it is recommended to plant them in the rain for about 1 month before they start exposure. Third, attention should be paid to pests and diseases in open field cultivation. Because open culture is closer to nature, snails, slugs and even caterpillars of moths and butterflies will flock to it. Finally, we must return in extreme weather. For example, during two months in Xia Dong, an exposure after rain and a freezing after snow may kill them.
How to raise succulents? Many people think that succulents can gain weight by watering more, but it is not. The ancestors of succulents grew in arid areas, and their roots could not absorb water for a long time. In order to survive, their stems and leaves gradually thicken and rely on the water stored in their bodies to maintain their lives. Therefore, if there is more water, they will only grow blindly, and then they will grow in vain! Only after water control, let it have the concept of water shortage, succulents will use their leaves to store water the next time they are watered, and the leaves will be thick. Of course, during this period, it is still necessary to combine more sunshine!
But not too dry. If it is too dry, the leaves will wither, because the water stored in it is slowly consumed, so this watering is a big problem and must be controlled!
Except for succulents that have just entered the pot and are still in the state of slow root, when the root system has grown well, it is almost the same to water every half month in the spring and autumn growing season, and it is watered thoroughly every time! Drink water in the morning or at night!
In summer, succulents have entered a dormant or semi-dormant state, so even summer species will enter a semi-dormant state when the temperature is above 35 degrees. Too much water can't be absorbed by the roots, and it will rot easily after a long time. Moreover, summer is the high incidence of bacterial invasion, and it is easier to suffocate and rot after long-term humidity. Therefore, it is enough to water it once a month, and a small amount is not poured thoroughly at a time! It is best to water in the middle of the night when the weather is cool and windy!
The temperature is very hot in summer, and you all know the summer in Jiangnan. The weather is hot and humid, and there are frequent thunderstorms. As soon as it is wet, it will be the sun, which is a big taboo for succulents! The water drops on the leaves will not blow off immediately, just like a magnifying glass, which burns the leaves of succulents! So in summer, you must keep out the sun and rain!
