Agricultural technology for growing Succulents seeds
Succulents are plants that store water in their leaves, stems or roots. This allows them to survive in dry conditions. Succulents grow in all parts of the world, but are most common in dry regions.
Succulents are popular houseplants. They are low maintenance and can survive in low humidity and limited light conditions.
To properly grow succulents, you must follow the following rules:
1. Choosing a landing site
Succulents prefer well-lit places protected from the wind. In the shade, succulents can stretch out and lose their decorative effect.
2. Soil
Succulents prefer well-drained soil that is low in nutrients. To plant succulents, you can use special soil for succulents or prepare it yourself by mixing sand, perlite and turf soil in equal proportions.
3. Watering
Succulents tolerate drought well, so they need to be watered sparingly. During the growing season (spring-summer), succulents are watered once a week or two, depending on the air temperature and soil moisture. During the dormant period (autumn-winter), watering is reduced to once a month or less.
4. Feeding
Succulents are fed once a month during the growing season. For feeding, use special fertilizers for succulents.
5. Trimming
Succulents do not need pruning. However, if necessary, you can remove damaged or dead parts of the plant.
6. Transplant
Succulents are replanted every 2-3 years, when they no longer fit in the old pot. Transplantation is carried out in the spring.
7. Diseases and pests
Succulents are relatively resistant to diseases and pests. However, if not properly cared for, they can be attacked by the following pests:
- Aphids: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to become deformed and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
- Spider mite: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
- Root bug: the pest feeds on the roots of plants, causing the plants to rot. Fungicides are used to control the pest.
8. Reproduction
Succulents are propagated by seeds, cuttings or layering.
Seed propagation: Succulent seeds are sown in spring in well-drained soil. The seeds germinate within a few weeks.
Cuttings: Succulent cuttings are taken in spring or summer. The cuttings are planted in well-drained soil and covered with film or glass to create greenhouse conditions. The cuttings take root within a few weeks.
Layering: Layering of succulents can be done in the spring or fall. The cuttings are separated from the mother plant and planted in well-drained soil. The cuttings take root within a few weeks.
