Hi Steemit! Often you have to observe how in supermarkets in the wake of fashion, they acquire impressive copies of succulents and do not know at all what to do with them.
1.If you have never grown succulents, do not immediately acquire complex and expensive species. Only for experienced gardeners do succulents seem uncomplicated. To grow them you need to know things like soil, lighting, and temperature. Although I have been doing succulents for some time and the number of victims has been kept to a minimum, I still don’t get expensive plants .;)
2.If you bought a plant in a store, completely clear the soil and treat the plant from pests. Keep such plants separate from your plants, in quarantine.
3.The most important component of your success is the soil. It should be light, breathable and not too nutritious. For urgent planting, you can use purchased cactus soil mixed with perlite. Coarse sand, gravel, brick chips and more can also be used as baking powder.
4.Succulents are transplanted without watering to dry damaged roots and a possible infection (virus, fungus, rot) did not get into their tissues.
5.Use a pot to fit the root system to make it easier for the plant to adapt. In addition, a smaller amount of soil will dry out faster and you will not flood your succulent.
6.Succulents should be kept on a bright window or under a lamp. Observe which plants love direct sunlight and which do not, you may have to shade windows in the summer.
7.Do not worry, over time, experience and the necessary knowledge will definitely come to you and caring for succulents will bring you only pleasure!;)
