The plant requires a sunny area to grow in. The plant tends to be taller and have more biomass if it is well-watered. It is relatively intolerant of high soil salinity levels, but exhibits saline tolerance if well fertilized. 253.Neumann, Kumar, and Sopory, Recent Advances in Plant Biotechnology and Its Applications, 2008, p.

The smaller the increase the better as many succulents are slow growing and it takes time for the roots to penetrate the compost.Anderson, Edward F. Select a pot which is no more than 2 inches wider in diameter. Do not pot them on during winter as the growth rate will have slowed right down. Do this when the plant is in active growth between Spring and Autumn in the UK. Potting on : This can be done if the plant has outgrown the pot.
This creates a mix with a nice open structure with good drainage. 2, loam based compost with 1 part horticultural grit. You can buy ready-made cactus compost or make your own by mixing 3 parts John Innes No. In summer if plants appear to be suffering on a very hot windowsill or conservatory then consider moving to a cooler position or even outside when there is no danger of frost at night.Ĭompost: Succulents and Cacti require a well-drained compost. A sunny windowsill is perfect for small plants. Position: Succulents require plenty of natural sunlight particularly in winter. A low nitrogen Cactus food can be used for most succulents but only during the summer and no more once a month. It is a good idea to put some pebbles or grit in the bottom of the container/saucer.įeeding: In general succulents do not require much feeding and care needs to be taken not to overfeed them or use the wrong feed. If the plant is standing inside a container/ saucer without drainage holes ensure that there is no standing water in the bottom. Before watering test the moisture level of the compost with your finger. They will often go for quite long period without watering and cope better with being under watered than over watered. It is very important not to over water these types of plants. Watering: Water sparingly, particularly in winter as succulents do not like sitting in very wet compost.
