Hi, Stimit! It is often necessary to observe how, after fashion, in supermarkets, people acquire interesting types of succulents and generally do not know what to do with them.
If you have never grown succulents, do not rush to 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 used succulents for some time and the number of victims was minimized, I still do not buy expensive plants. In case of defeat, you will not be so upset as after losing an expensive plant .;)
If you bought a plant in a store, completely clear the soil and treat the plant from pests. Keep these plants separate from your plants, in quarantine, so as not to endanger your collection.
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 much more can also be used as a baking powder.
Succulents are transplanted without watering to dry damaged roots, and a possible infection (virus, fungus, rot) does not penetrate their tissues.
Use the pot to match the root system so that the plant is easier to adapt. In addition, less soil will dry faster and you won’t fill your luscious ones.
Succulents should be stored in a bright window or under a lamp. Pay attention to which plants love direct sunlight and which do not, you may need to obscure the windows in summer.
Do not worry, over time experience and necessary knowledge will surely come to you, and taking care of succulents will give you only pleasure!;)
