At the beginning of spring, the succulent flowers and arrows will grow, and all of them will be cut off to retain nutrients to speed up growth
Just entered the spring less than a month, the sedum succulent on the balcony has grown flower arrows one after another, the spring succulents grow the fastest speed, from its flower arrows can be distinguished, after the spring, as the temperature continues to rise, the flower arrows will soon grow taller, this time for the succulent flower arrows, it is necessary to deal with them in time.
Especially sedum succulents, a succulent will grow an average of 2 to three arrows, after all, succulents also need to be pollinated and propagated in spring, and the sedum succulents we raise at home do not need to be pollinated by flowers, the only way to deal with them is to use scissors to prune all the arrows.
When the height of the succulent arrow grows to about 5 cm, you can use scissors to trim it all from the middle, remember not to leave one, in the process of pruning the arrow, the follow-up will continue to grow, in short, what you have to do is to avoid the arrow from growing.
The main purpose of pruning the flower arrow is to retain nutrients and avoid the consumption of nutrients, the nutrients consumed by the succulent in the process of growing the flower arrow are huge, the flower arrow is pruned off, this part of the nutrients will be retained in the succulent body, so as to achieve the state of rapid growth of the leaves, only under the premise of retaining nutrients, the succulent can grow faster.
In the 4 seasons a year, only in the spring succulent is the fastest growth stage, the temperature gradually rises, the speed of succulent cell division will gradually increase, coupled with the spring wind and sunshine, the temperature is low, the overall environment greatly promotes the growth rate of the succulent, do not let it bloom at the same time also need to increase watering, if it is planted with peat soil succulents do not need to be topdressed, if with pellet planted succulents, also need to add a small amount of nutrient fertilizer.
In the spring, you must make the succulent grow fatter and bigger, so that its leaves absorb enough water, and the fat leaves will absorb water and store it at the same time, so that the succulent can better spend the summer, and in the summer, put the succulent under the shade net, and the succulent can also be safely spent in the summer without watering.
The growth stage and dormant stage of sedum succulent are very obvious, for different stages, the way of maintenance will be different, it is necessary to water a lot of water when it is time to water, so that the succulent absorbs enough water, and when the water is broken, it is necessary to cut off the water and maintain, so that it consumes the water stored in the leaves.
According to the phased way to raise succulents, can fundamentally reduce the death of succulents caused by high temperatures, pruning flower arrows in the spring is a must do, retaining nutrients is a crucial point, as long as the flower arrows do not grow, petals do not bloom, so the nutrients stored in the flesh will be consumed by the growth of leaves.
