Only with such a combination of meat and soil can the root not rot for 10 years

The reason why meat has super drought tolerance is that it has leaves and stems rich in water, which can provide water in dry seasons

However, there is also a problem - it is rich in water. If the soil holds water too much or watering improperly, it is easy to die because of too much water

Therefore, if you want to plant succulent plants well, you need to start with soil

Succulent plants are loved by flower friends for their gorgeous colors, super drought tolerance and simple management. This is a lazy plant. It can grow very well without watering for months

1. What are the types of soil preparation

The soil preparation of succulent plants can be divided into two categories: granular soil and peat coconut bran

Granular soil is a general term for volcanic rock, green zeolite, Maifan stone, hematite soil, etc. They are a kind of ore, which can play the role of hydrophobicity, preventing rotten roots and releasing trace elements

I like to use volcanic rock and green zeolite because they are cheap and close to the people. Generally, they can be used in volcanic rock: Green zeolite 2:1

Green zeolite:

Volcanic rock:

Peat coconut bran is the mixture of peat and coconut bran. I mix it according to the ratio of Peat: coconut bran 2:1. It can absorb nutrients and keep water

2. How to mix meat with soil

I'm in Fujian. It's hot and rainy in summer. The planting environment is a terrace, so it's necessary to configure soil with very good drainage. At this time, it's necessary to add more granular soil. Rapid drainage of soil particles can avoid the death of ponding

In an environment similar to a balcony, water evaporates slowly, and granular soil should be added to the configuration

My suggestion is that the proportion of granular soil: peat and coconut bran is 2:1. This kind of soil is well drained, and it can be discharged in time even if you accidentally water more. If it is in areas with less precipitation in the north, the proportion of granular soil can be reduced and planted in the proportion of 1:1 or 1:2

If you raise more meat like this, you can be fat and red

I don't know if there is a flower club saying: Oh, why are other people's meat so beautiful, but mine is green! In fact, this is your improper maintenance, so it's green

If succulent plants want to produce gorgeous colors, they can be summarized by a formula: temperature difference + water control + long sunshine = gorgeous colors. As long as you plant more meat according to this formula, you can grow beautiful even in Fujian

1. Temperature difference

Temperature difference refers to the temperature difference between day and night. The greater the temperature difference, the more succulent plants become beautiful. Generally, there is a large temperature difference between day and night in autumn, winter and spring, so most meat can have gorgeous colors during this time. This is related to chlorophyll and chromosomes, which involves cell microstructure. It has nothing to do with this paper, so it is not described here

2. Water control

Controlling water means controlling watering. Succulent plants are native to South Africa, with drought and little rain. Meat adapts to the local environment. It can grow beautiful only in the arid environment, so we must control the water

So how to control water? The soil matching like that above me can be watered once a half month. When watering, it's best in a sunny afternoon. Be sure to water thoroughly when watering. The water content is controlled, the meat grows compactly and has high ornamental value

In case of rain, take shelter from it, otherwise it is easy to get black rot after heavy rain! If you can't take shelter from the rain when it rains, dry the water on the fleshy leaves and avoid the sun for two days

3. Long sunshine (more than 5 hours)

In autumn, winter and spring, the temperature is low, giving more meat long sunshine. With the joint participation of temperature difference and water control, the chlorophyll synthesis in more meat is slow, and the colored experience shows gorgeous colors

At this time, put the meat in the place with the best sunshine and wait for it to "color" quietly

That's all for today
