How to grow succulent plants

When raising succulents, you must pay more attention to temperature and light, because many succulents like warm environments. When the outside temperature drops, you should move the succulents to a warm environment in time. In addition, these succulents also need a certain amount of sunlight during the breeding process. If they are placed in a dark environment for a long time, their leaves will become thinner, turn yellow, and their growth will slow down.

2. Watering and fertilizing

Watering and fertilizing are also the most important things people need to pay attention to when raising succulents, because most succulents have a dormant period. After they enter the dormant period, you must stop watering and fertilizing, otherwise they will rot and die. In addition, you can increase the supply of fertilizer and water appropriately during their growth season, but remember not to allow water to accumulate in the flowerpot, and do not apply concentrated fertilizer to succulents.
