If you are not sure, please refer to our article on medium (soil) deployment. 2) After planting, water it immediately and place it in a "windy place". 3) Since the roots have not yet grown, be sure to avoid direct sunlight at noon and afternoon, and place it in a bright windy place for at least one month. 4) If the plant is just in the "dormant period", please finish watering the first time. After the medium (soil) is completely dry, you can cut off the water until the growth period arrives. During the "dormant period", they are placed in a "scattered light and ventilated place". If it is a summer planting, it can be covered with a transparent plastic cup to keep the temperature. 【Introduction and deployment of medium soil】 The medium (soil) of succulents has the following characteristics: ➽ Clearance There are gaps in the soil to help the circulation of water and the extension of the roots. ➽ Softness To avoid scratching the roots as they develop, causing wound infection, the soil itself should be kept soft and sharp cut surfaces should be avoided. (Test method: Press the index finger vertically into the soil, if the finger is not scratched and it will not hurt, it is qualified) ➽ Nutrients The soil itself should be rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and organic matter (fertilizers should be added when blending), accounting for 5-10% of the total medium. ➽ Water retention It should be moisturizing for at least 3-7 days in its own planting environment (novice planting can take 3 days). ➽ The larger the plant body (strong water storage capacity), the longer the watering time or the shorter the moisturizing. ➽ What is "Dormant Period"? The succulents have more periodic rains, concentrated in summer or winter. Therefore, it has developed the DNA of plants to store water in the rainy season to survive the "dry season". The dry season mentioned above is what we generally call the dormant period. The dormant period does not refer to the state where the plant is completely dormant and does not drink water, but refers to the state of low vitality and food saving. Since the environment of artificial cultivation cannot have the periodicity of natural rain, it is necessary to cooperate with the growth nature of the plant. watering. ➽ When should you water? Plants born in nature drink water regularly. They can rely on dew or natural rain. Therefore, to judge the timing of watering, just look at the weather outside. ➽ Because of the rain, it will cause: 1) the sun will become weaker 2) the temperature will be lower than usual 3) the air humidity will increase When the above situation occurs, the plant will be activated to drink water from the dormant period, that is, when the artificially cultivated environment should be supplied with water. ➽ How to judge soil dryness? 1) Measure the weight by hand🤲🏻 2) Keep a toothpick in the soil for a long time. When you want to confirm, you can pull it out to check the humidity of the bamboo stick. ⚠️Avoid succulent in the rain Due to the relationship between the pH value in rain and the nature of the plant itself (succulents are not native to Taiwan), rain should be avoided as much as possible to prevent disease and death. ———————————————————————— ＊ Please be sure to pick up the goods within two days after the order is successfully placed to ensure that the plants are healthy and safe. * If you can't pick up the goods within two days, the plants will be short of water and dry, which is a normal situation.
