How to color succulents beautifully

1. Lighting

Most succulents like sunlight. Without sunlight, they will fade and grow too long. Therefore, to achieve good results, you need to control the light exposure time, no less than 3-6 hours a day. However, the light exposure does not mean exposure to the scorching sun in summer, which can easily cause burns. It is best to expose the light at a temperature below 25 degrees.

2. Temperature

Most varieties of succulents are not resistant to high or low temperatures. In the range of 10-25 degrees, the temperature difference between day and night is large, so it is easier to color.

3. Ventilation

Ventilation has many benefits, it is conducive to the dissipation of moisture and can also speed up the coloring. In addition, ventilation in high temperature in summer is not easy to cause root rot, but in the north, the outdoor temperature is low in winter, so ventilation is not recommended.

4. Humidity

Appropriate humidity is conducive to coloring, such as outdoor dew in autumn, which can easily promote coloring. In the growing season of succulents, you can spray the surrounding air appropriately at night to increase the humidity. However, this is not necessary in places with high temperatures in summer and low temperatures in winter.
