What are the manifestations during the acclimatization period of succulent plants
This article introduces the manifestations and detailed characteristics of the acclimatization period of succulent plants, as well as some basic cultivation tips, as follows:
Any enthusiast who has grown succulent plant potting knows that when succulents grow to a certain extent, they need to be repotted or transplanted.
After transplantation, succulents need to go through a period before they return to their pre-repotting state. This period is called the acclimatization period.
So, what is the acclimatization period? How to determine if the succulent has acclimatized? Below is a sharing of some basic maintenance knowledge about this aspect using succulent plants as an example.
【One】、What is the acclimatization period of succulents
1. The acclimatization period of succulents refers to the process of adapting to a new environment after experiencing root pruning, repotting, or other major environmental changes. Strictly speaking, the acclimatization period of succulents is also a special dormant period.
2. Even succulents moved from outdoor to indoor environments or vice versa may experience a period of adaptation.
During this period, succulents may exhibit various degrees of growth cessation and leaf softening, which you must be able to read and treat with special care.
【Two】、How to determine if the succulent has acclimatized
1. The acclimatization period of succulents is easier to determine than dormancy, as you can tell by recalling whether you have disturbed them recently.
The difficulty most enthusiasts face with acclimatization is knowing when the succulent has finished acclimatizing.
☑、The advantage of acclimatized succulents over dormant ones is that their current growing environment is often more conducive to growth (assuming you understand this, try to repot and prune roots when the succulents are growing vigorously. If you insist on doing this in a dormant environment, it's a different story, and the succulents might die).
2. Since the roots are not visible through the soil, it's hard to determine if the succulent's roots are ready to absorb water. When leaves become soft, it's assumed they are lacking water, and after watering, if the leaves are still soft even when the topsoil is dry, the succulent often dies during the acclimatization period.
3. There is a simple way to determine if a succulent has acclimatized. When the plant's life activities stop, both new and old leaves are treated equally, meaning they will both become soft. But when life activities resume, the new leaves have a higher priority.
What are the manifestations during the acclimatization period of succulent plants
When you notice that the new leaves of the succulents in the acclimatization period start to become plump and firm, while the old leaves begin to deplete, it means the succulents have acclimatized. However, the new roots are not fully developed yet, so you can water along the edge of the pot without disturbing the growth of new roots. Soon, the old leaves will also become plump, and at this point, the succulents are truly acclimatized.
