This article mainly tells about how to grow red-egg succulents. The red-egg mentioned in the article belongs to the Sedum genus of the Crassulaceae family. The cultivation method of red-egg succulents is not very difficult. First, we need to understand its habits. Red-eggs require a sufficient amount of sunlight and a cool, dry environment, can tolerate semi-shade, fear waterlogging, and dislike hot and humid conditions. They have the habit of growing in cold seasons and slightly dormant in high summer temperatures.
From September to December of each year to the next March to June is the growing period of red-egg succulents (the growing period varies depending on the environment of the flower friends). Insufficient sunlight will make the leaves of the plant look less full and relatively unattractive, while plants growing in full sunlight have a compact, sturdy shape, and the leaves are arranged tightly and fully.
The editor's red-egg succulents are kept in a sunroom with full sunlight. During the growing period, the soil should be kept moist but avoid waterlogging. The editor used a mixture of coal slag and peat, with a small amount of perlite, in a ratio of about 6:3:1. Red-egg succulents can withstand low temperatures of about -6°C, which is the indoor temperature, not outdoor. Any lower, and the leaves and the top growth points of the plant will freeze, dry up, and die. During the entire winter, watering is basically stopped or reduced, and below 5 degrees, watering should be gradually reduced. In high summer temperatures, the entire plant grows slowly or stops completely, at which time good ventilation and appropriate shading are required to avoid direct sunlight, and watering should be moderate to prevent prolonged rain, to avoid plant rot.
The propagation of red-egg succulents is generally done through branching or leaf cuttings. The cut branches can be directly planted in dry granular soil, and after a few days, a small amount of water can be given, which easily promotes root growth. Leaf cuttings are relatively slower. Remove the full and plump leaves, place them in a shaded place to dry the wound, then place them on the soil, which should not be too wet, just a bit of moisture. The leaves will first develop roots and then slowly sprout to grow new plants. Red-egg is a slow-growing variety, so flower friends need to be patient.
