Succulent is a very vigorous plant, no matter what kind of growth environment can grow, even if it is a plastic bottle or a piece of wood, we can turn it into a succulent container, so that it can grow healthily.
And these things are more common "waste products", as long as a little transformation can become a breeding succulent artifact, we can see how to operate together.
The first: dead wood
Many flower friends will also buy dead wood when breeding succulents, in fact, we can usually go outdoors to go around, especially flower friends with mountains near home, can find a lot of dead wood segments.
We can pick them up and use them, but we still have to deal with them simply before using them.
After taking it home, first prune the dead wood, and clean up the branches or other impurities carried on it first, so as to avoid these impurities affecting the growth of succulents.
Because it is also part of the tree, although it has withered, but there are still invisible bacteria or wood thorns, we must choose to clean up the bacteria on it completely.
You can dig out the rotten part of the dead wood first, and then it is best to wash it well with boiling water, and then put it under the sun, dry for a few days after checking the state of the wood, if it is already a relatively regular state without any impurities, we can use it, before this must not be rushed to use, otherwise it will bring irreversible damage to the succulent.
Then we prepare some soil, the best is nutritious soil with some peat soil, and add a little perlite. Or choose the right soil according to the type of succulent, the amount is not too much, as long as it can cover the succulent root system, spray a little water before use, let it remain moist enough to facilitate the succulent root system to root more quickly. Then we take the succulent out and fix its root system first.
Especially if there is a rotten root system, it must be cut off before it can be replanted, if it is a weaker root system that is not growing well, it should be cut off, and at the beginning it is only the strongest root system, even if only a few roots are left, it does not matter, the follow-up can still continue to reproduce. After trimming, we first put it in a ventilated place so that its wound can heal faster.
After that, we take out the prepared dead wood, soil and succulents, and if there is no gap in the bottom of the dead wood, we will drill a drainage hole to facilitate later drainage and ventilation. Then we planted succulents on it, and then added the soil that has been matched, the soil must be covered, not too loose, so that the root system can be firmly rooted in the dead wood.
After planting, we first put it in a more ventilated place, and then do not rush to water, and after it adapts to a period of time, we will water again, and when watering, we should slowly water along the edge, so that the water can be completely immersed in the pot soil, so that the root system can be better absorbed.
The second kind: plastic bottles
Plastic bottles are more common, we can use a variety of shapes of bottles, and then cut it half short, both ends can be used to plant succulents, and then the bottom also has drainage holes, and then add a little soil to plant succulents into it. Growing succulents in plastic bottles is not limited by the environment and can be done at any time.
And the other half of the plastic bottle can also be used to cut succulents, the effect is also very good. Cuttings are to select the leaves, and then tie small holes around the plastic bottle, not too dense, and then stuff the succulent leaves into the small holes one by one. Then put some water in a plastic bottle, and then you can wait for the succulent leaves to slowly take root and sprout.
After the roots of the succulent leaves grow out, we can cut the bottles, and then transplant the rooted succulents into other plastic bottles to continue breeding, the whole process only needs a plastic bottle to complete, it can be said that it is very simple, and the novice Xiaobai can also operate with confidence.
Roundup: Chic flower containers: dead wood, plastic bottles, processed in place, the value is comparable to the work of art
There are many containers for breeding succulents, many of which we can see everywhere in daily life, especially the effect of dead wood is better, after the succulent matures, the shape will be very chic, and everyone can try to operate.
