The range of origin of succulent plants is wide, and the growth cycle is also very different. Therefore, it's best to choose spring and autumn to bring more meat home. In this way, you can change basins in time, which is good for the health of more meat people.

Process of multi meat changing Basin

For example, jatropha, Euphorbia, Euphorbiaceae, Gentianaceae, Ambrosiaceae and oleandelliaceae of Euphorbiaceae have a growth period from spring to autumn. They are dormant in winter, and can grow normally under low temperature, so they are called "summer species". This kind of plants have the best pot exchange in March of spring.

Summer-type species

The growing season is from autumn to the next spring. The succulent plants which are obviously dormant in summer are "winter type species", such as most species of apricot family, small leaf species of Acacia, all kinds of species of jingtianke, such as deqingsuolong, yinbojin and Wasong. They should be replaced in September in autumn.

The growth period of other succulent plants is mainly in spring and autumn. When the temperature is high in summer, the growth is slightly stagnant. It is also suitable for this kind of succulent plants to change pots in spring.

Summer-type species

Generally, the pot needs to be changed after one year's cultivation. At this time, the nutrient in the basin tends to be exhausted, and the soil will become hardened, with poor permeability and permeability. The root system of succulent plants will fill the basin again, so it is urgent to improve the root cultivation environment. Generally, when the temperature of the succulent plant reaches about 15 ℃ between April and may in spring, it is very good to change the pot. However, some of the Succulents in Euphorbiaceae and Asclepiadaceae have very thick and few roots, and can change pots once in 2-3 years or longer. It is not necessary to cut and air the roots when changing the basin, and the roots should be damaged as little as possible. After changing the basin, water it appropriately and put it in the half shade for maintenance.

Summer-type species

The succulent plant that just changed basin is easy to appear the phenomenon that stem becomes soft or leaves are not stopped. In the process of basin changing, the root system of succulent plants is damaged, which makes the root system unable to absorb water normally, thus leading to the phenomenon. After entering the new basin, the succulent plants need to undergo 1-2 weeks of slow root process to return to normal. In this process, do not spray more water, spray spray on weekdays to increase the humidity of the surrounding air.
