Where is the fat

In autumn, food is scarce and the weather is dry. How can you be fat with more meat? In fact, succulent plants are fat and full of water, not oil. Succulent plants are tolerant to dryness, not hunger. Water and nutrients are the key to the fattening of succulent plants

Which season can fatten and meat

Of course, the answer is autumn. In summer, because of high temperature and shade, the leaves are easy to grow in vain, so it is difficult to grow good-looking meat, let alone fatten. Therefore, the focus in summer is to cultivate roots and maintain plant type. After late August, the temperature began to turn cool. Under normal circumstances, fat meat can be harvested in September

Root cultivation is key

Fleshy and fattening is actually the process of storing water in leaves, which makes these plants feel that they are in a potentially arid environment, so that they have a sense of crisis and constantly absorb water, which requires a strong root system. Before again, you need to understand the relationship between watering and long roots:

①  there are many roots, and the aboveground parts grow wildly

②  the root is large and the water is less, and the aboveground part is fat and compact

③  the root is small and watery, and the root grows rapidly, but the aboveground part grows and consumes, and the overall plant type remains basically unchanged. The roots will grow gradually

④  the root is small with less water, the root growth stagnates, the aboveground part either sleeps or remains unchanged, and the leaves with excessive nutrient consumption gradually become smaller

Well, after looking at the relationship between roots and water above, you can generally go through two processes ③ ~ ② according to your fleshy roots, so that when the roots grow up, they can fatten and fleshy

Avoid overeating

After the root system is well raised, it can grow well without other means. But if you don't water it properly, it's useless to have a root. Fattening, we must do a good job of water control, do not let meat overeating

Keeping the soil moist is to keep the water supply low. The method of watering shall be small and repeated. Each watering does not need to be thoroughly watered, as long as the soil is slightly wet. In addition, the amount and times of watering can be flexibly adjusted according to the ventilation and weather conditions, as long as a certain dry time and wet time are alternating with each other

In addition, the watering time should be in the evening or at night as far as possible, because most succulent plants have closed stomata during the day and generally open to absorb water at night. If they are watered in the morning and almost dry at night, they can be watered in vain

Selection of flowerpots

Fattening and fleshy, your choice of flower pot is also very important. It is suggested to choose a root controlling pot or a larger and deeper flowerpot, which is conducive to the maintenance of water vapor in the lower layer. If the flowerpot is too small, it will affect the water buffer, cause the pot soil to be in the state of fast drying and fast wetting, and cause certain damage to the root
