In terms of color, you should choose 3-4 colors. Succulents are commonly found in green, brown, red, purple, blue and yellow. The richer the color, the stronger the visual effect of the combination. When planting, you can plant different colors at intervals to create a palette effect of colorful spots, or you can use the principle of approximate colors.

If you're willing to give them some space for an immediate effect, they'll soon sprout a lot of sprouts.
3. Succulents were mostly grown in desert areas before, where the soil is mostly gravel and coarse sand, with only a small amount of soil and organic matter, so artificially growing succulents itself is not difficult, only sunlight and a certain amount of water are needed. As for planting in soil or in rock crevices, these are all selected according to the surrounding environment.

If it is a garden, it is suitable as long as it is loose and ventilated and will not be flooded; if it is a potted plant, ordinary garden soil is of course also possible, other peat soils can be combined with oyster, perlite and river sand. The medium does not have a specific combination ratio. The principle is that it can be loose, breathable and well-drained. Usually, the proportion of organic matter can account for 30%. earth.
5. Pour nutrient soil into the flowerpot. At this time, pay attention to not too much or too little. Generally, it is about 1cm away from the pot mouth. At the same time smooth the nutrient soil in the pot.
The nutrient soil should be properly watered, less water, but less, and the surface nutrient soil can be moistened. The picture below shows the nutrient soil with a little water.
When planting, dig a small hole in the nutrient soil and insert the succulent roots. If the roots are larger than 4cm, it is recommended to prune the roots before planting.
