As the name implies, succulents are called succulents because they are watery and juicy, which means that the plants themselves have a lot of water. It is important to understand this. They are different from herbs. During the growing period, grass flowers basically need water for 1 to 2 days, while succulents themselves have a lot of water stored.

Beginners can supply water according to the state of the plant and the dryness of the soil, which is simple and practical. Sedum plants in normal growth can generally be observed through their leaves. If the soil surface is dry, the leaves are slightly wrinkled and appear listless under normal growth, so water can basically be supplied at this time. This operation is still a little helpful for beginners who don't understand. If you are familiar with it, you can give the water basically when the soil in the basin is dry, and you can dilute it with carbendazim once a month, so as to prevent the invasion of germs (this is the water supply for healthy growing succulents with leaves, that is, the water supply when some primary enthusiasts directly bring pots home).

Now that online shopping is so developed, the general delivery is basically plants without soil. After receiving such plants, it is a big problem for beginners. What soil should be used first? There is no certain standard for this problem. The soil requires ventilation, but it is best for novices not to use garden soil or flower bed soil, because these soils are easy to freeze after watering, leading to the death or rotten roots of plants. In fact, there are many breathable soils around us, such as: river sand (which needs to be cleaned to remove powder, and the particle size of 1 to 5 mm can depend on the needs of plants), cinder (which is crushed to remove powder, and then washed away dust, and the particle size is generally 1 to 3 mm, and the big one can be placed at the bottom of the basin), and red bricks, which need to be broken with great strength and made into small 3 mm particles (I have seen Huayou do this).

Many flower friends will ask, there is no river sand and cinder in my city. Hehe, unless you live in a city other than China, river sand is everywhere in the construction site around us, but it's best not to get sea sand, because sea sand has a heavy salt content, and fresh water sand is natural. Generally, the inland is basically fresh water sand, and coastal cities are basically sea sand. When you go to the construction site and ask people for points, they will give it to you. Secondly, there is coal cinder. Coal briquettes can be seen in every city in China, but now coal briquette stoves have been eliminated in big cities because of environmental problems, but there are many breakfast stalls, night markets, small rice stalls and canteens around you, all of which can be seen. They are burnt coal briquettes (Baidu can check the pictures, and the kite blog also has blog posts), not burnt raw coal cinders, and the coal cinders of these stalls are broken (. Then there are red jade soil, pumice, diatomite, deer marsh soil, vermiculite, perlite and peat, which are sold in flower markets and Taobao. There are many kinds of soil, which can be mixed together, or a single plant can be raised, whether it is mixed or single, as long as the soil is breathable.

What is ventilation? That is to say, when you pour water, the bottom of the basin will flow out immediately. This is ideal, adding some peat or something according to different plants. According to their own habits, there is no rule about what to use, so beginners only need to plant the material with air permeability, water it down to the bottom of the basin and water it immediately, and that's all. After nagging for a long time, I should have a general understanding of the minimum planting materials, and I don't have to ask what kind of planting materials to use every day. The planting materials for kites: coal cinder mixed with a small amount of peat, pure coal cinder, pure river sand or river sand mixed with a small amount of peat, and sometimes perlite or vermiculite will be added.

Next, let's talk about pots. In fact, pots are not particular. They are made of plastic, iron, wood, porcelain and purple sand. As long as you can think of containers, you can use them to grow flowers. However, they require that there should be permeable holes in the bottom of the basin. If there are no permeable holes, it is difficult to control the water content. Although many MM like to use glasses or glasses for a short time, they can still survive if they are watered at ordinary times. If they are long-term hobbies, it is best to change them to permeable holes. Pots are not the most important. Kite pots are all kinds, such as pottery, porcelain, purple sand, plastic, paper, chocolate boxes and ice cream boxes that you usually eat. Anything that can be decorated with soil can be used to raise flowers. Choose pots with corresponding heights according to the roots of plants.

water supply. . . . . . The soil and pots mentioned above are not the main things, but the water is the main thing. When you choose a good pot with good soil, you will lose money if you don't water it properly. Let's take the bare-rooted plants that are ready to go to the pot as an example. Generally, plants that want to go to the pot can only go to the pot after pruning their roots and drying their wounds. As far as possible, use slightly wet soil to go to the pot, and don't give water. What is slightly wet soil? Many flower lovers who have just started have no scale to measure it. How can they be slightly wet? Feel it with our hands. After mixing the soil, give some water, knead it with your hands and it will spread out when you release it. Grab the soil with your hands, but the soil looks wet. It is best to put the soil on the pot for plants at this time. Mixing dry carbendazim powder in the soil and stirring it together can inhibit bacteria from invading the capillary root after rooting. If you want to add carbofuran or Eupolyphaga, after mixing the slightly wet soil, pour in the preventive medicine and stir it evenly with something for later use. Plants planted on the slightly wet soil after the pot are generally in a cool and ventilated place, and will basically dry out in about 5 to 1 days, which depends on the season and environment.

The dried pot soil can be given water for the second time. This time, the water supply is more important. You can use carbendazim water or pure water to pour a circle around the pot, so that the water can slowly penetrate into the roots of plants, so that the capillary roots that have just sprouted are not easy to dry up again. How to judge how much to give the second water supply according to the water permeability of the plant material? That is to say, after this water supply, the water can slowly penetrate into the roots of the plant, which may not be easy for beginners to grasp, but the water is mixed with carbendazim, so it won't be too big a problem to give more water. It is best for novices to have less water, and it is easy to rot the roots if they give more water with one hand. Compared with the water supply of plants that have just been put in the pot, it is still not a big problem, and there will be no big problem if they are more. Generally, there is no problem if they are well ventilated.

The most difficult thing to grasp is the water supply for plants after dormancy. Many succulents will hibernate in high and low temperatures in summer and winter, especially in this summer, which is hotter than before. Because the temperature is too high, many plants die in dormancy because of insufficient resistance, and some have good resistance. After the temperature slowly drops in autumn, there are not a few flower friends who have caused a lot of deaths because of not grasping the range and quantity of watering. Old hands may not be spared. In summer, the water supply environment in the north and south is different, and the water supply range and quantity are different. Different plants give different water, which can be said for three days and three nights. Here is an easy way to use kites.

When the temperature drops slowly in summer, we must hold back and take care of our hands. Don't look at the weather forecast. It will be low temperature for 1 days, and the weather forecast may not be accurate. At the end of summer, during the thunderstorm-prone period, we should pay attention to water supply. Plants in the end of summer are very thirsty after experiencing the heat. At this time, we can't let them drink enough at once. Why, just like us, after intense exercise, we The same is true for plants. In summer, they consume nutrients and water. At this time, when there is a flood, the plants will be cheerful and try their best to absorb water. All of a sudden, the leaves will be full and loose, and the excess water will not go away. The temperature will rot from the roots to the top of the plants at a slightly high point, which is why many flower friends will hang many plants in the autumn after the summer, and they will also hang water in the rain.

The specific method should be: after the temperature drops, don't rush to give water. At this time, plants need water and nutrition most. We can only give water step by step. After summer, plants are weak and their resistance is not very good. It is safer to dilute carbendazim water when giving water. Don't give too much at a time. Many beginners don't know what gradual watering is. Here's an explanation. For example, when we water about one-sixth of the soil for the first time, that is to say, there is water 1 cm below the soil layer. When it is dry, we can water 2-3 cm of soil layer to be wet, and then water 5-6 cm of soil layer to be wet after the soil is dry (some flower lovers use drops to calculate, generally speaking, it is ok to water it anyway, and everyone's methods are different). The water supply is based on the state of plants step by step, and it takes a long experience to grasp this degree. Observing more and asking more questions is what beginners have to experience. Different water supply needs of different plants are gradually accumulated in the process of breeding, and the regional climate affects the water demand of plants.

Kite hopes that all meat lovers will read more relevant information before or after buying plants, and at least know a general idea, so that your plants will not die when they are confused. For unfamiliar varieties, it is better to raise them slowly with less water, rather than be eager for quick success and instant benefit, and want to raise them at once. As long as the plant does not die, the basic habits will be understood after one year, and it can be managed normally in the next year. If you can make a note, it will be very helpful for long-term management. The above is the general water supply situation, the specific varieties of specific treatment, waiting for the flower friends to get familiar with themselves.

Don't copy it mechanically. The materials are all dead and may not be suitable for your growing environment. You should be flexible and flexible, so that you can raise plants better. There is even less water in the dormant period. Since it is dormant, as long as the root system is not excessively dry and dead, a small amount of water is still necessary. Families generally raise more meat, because the pots are small and the soil is less. If a drop of water is not given during the whole dormant period, some varieties will die completely. Flower friends should master this point flexibly according to their own environment and more reference materials.

After talking about soil, pots and water, let's talk about plants. Now that the internet is developed, there are many exotic plants, and the channels for buying more meat are getting wider and wider. For beginners, how to deal with newly arrived plants? Let's talk about kites simply.

succulent plants, generally sellers will basically shed their leaves when delivering, for the sake of transportation safety, and for the sake of avoiding the migration of germs to new host families with the soil in the pots. Generally, plants that have been transported for a long time will be aired and softened before delivery, for the sake of good packaging, it is not easy to lose leaves, and for the sake of removing some moisture, so it is not easy to rot during long-term express delivery. Plants that are short of water are better to feed. Although the goods are soft, kites are usually watched when they are received. For those that are too full, they will be pruned and dried for a few days. If they are roots, they will be dried for a longer time, ranging from one month to two months. Only when they are dehydrated, new roots will grow quickly. The reason is simple. If plants are thirsty, they must drink water. If they want to drink water, they must grow roots. They all rely on roots to absorb water. If full plants are put into the pot, water is supplied immediately or the pot soil is too wet, new roots will not grow easily, because the plants themselves are not short of water, so how can they drink water? If the pot soil is too wet, the roots will rot. This is also a misunderstanding of many beginners. They always think that the fuller the plants are, the better, because the plants we buy online come from different places. If they are naturally cultivated, it is acceptable to give some water to the full plants. If they come from places with high temperature and humidity (such as greenhouses or big water and fat), dehydration is necessary, otherwise the water will easily rot. Sedum plants are fine, and the dehydration is almost the same on the express way. For balls, tiles and reeds, which are very fleshy and fleshy, it is necessary to go home for root pruning and airing. It is not necessarily safe for 3 to 5 days, because we don't know where they come from. After dehydration, it will be more conducive to the re-growth of plants and adapt to our growing environment more quickly.

When there are new plants, many flower friends come to ask kites. Can you give fertilizer after planting? Dear, can you take it easy first? Although kites also want to raise plants better and bigger, it is not suitable to give fertilizer to plants that have just been planted in pots and haven't taken the pots too much. The roots haven't grown well. Can you absorb them if you give fertilizer? Generally, when plants grow stably, a small amount of thin fertilizer can be given, and fertilizers generally include slow-release fertilizer, water fertilizer, green fertilizer and so on. Sometimes kites will give some plants some water and fertilizer, which is easy to operate. Just mix them in water and give some, and then there is slow-release fertilizer, which is better. When sowing, you can also mix them in the soil and throw a few grains on the soil surface, which is more convenient. Green manure kites are never used. Generally, succulents grow in poor sandy soil, with little nutrition. They rely on the rain to moisten them. Although they have no nutrition, they grow very healthy and their colors are more natural and beautiful. Flower lovers will be worried. How can they grow without nutrition? Hehe, in fact, there are growth elements they need in water, soil and air. Don't worry about this. Although we haven't given any fertilizer, the plants that may be raised are not as big and strong as others, but they will bloom and change with the seasons. There are also plants that are healthier and more fertile, and the scenery can only be temporary. The high temperature in 213, the loss of many flower friends should be greater than in previous years.

Let's talk about lighting. Plants need sunlight, but not all plants like strong sunlight. Many elementary enthusiasts will ask kites, can they be dried just after they are put in the pot? Yes, plants need sunlight, but we have to wait for them to grow steadily before they see it. If we let them see the sunlight urgently, not only will the roots grow badly, but even the plants themselves may slowly dehydrate and die. We should wait for them to grow roots in a cool and ventilated environment, see the sun step by step, and then we can bask in the sun when we get used to it. In general, succulents in the growing period need sunshine, and they should avoid the scorching sun when they are dormant. For example, in summer, many succulents will hibernate. At this time, all they have to do is shade, ventilation and lack of water. After going out for five days, I came back to see that the sunshade net was blown open by strong wind, and all the raw stone flowers and Sedum under the hatch were white, dried and sun-resistant varieties. Of course, there are many sun-resistant plants growing in summer, such as the prickly cactus, which can be exposed in the hot sun. Without exposure, it will not grow well and be beautiful, such as the Dahongying kite.
