Plant Care Tips
Plant Care Tips πΏπΌ
When planting, it's crucial to disinfect wounds on the plant's roots to effectively prevent infections. β οΈ
During the initial post-planting period, your plant needs time to acclimate to its new surroundings. Practice cautious watering by providing small amounts to help the plant adjust and resume growth. π§π±
Lithops & Conophytum: π
Please note that the plant's color may vary based on growing conditions, and the received plant may differ from the picture. With proper care and ample sunlight, the original color will reappear. ππ¨
Use a dry, permeable soil for planting. Employ bottom watering a week after receiving the plants. Lithops thrive with increased bright light and reduced water as light exposure gradually intensifies. βοΈπ¦
NEVER OVERWATER. After planting, consider a tiny bit of water every other week for 13 to 28 days. π±π
Soil Preparation: π‘π±
Prepare a well-draining soil mix. Ideal cultivation soil must have good permeability. Optionally, add a small amount of slow-release fertilizer (Nutricotem) and Insect Control Systemic Granules (Bonide) to prevent pest infestations. πΏπ
Root Treatment: π±π
Treat the roots by removing excess soil and old, dry roots after plant removal. This reduces nutrient loss and encourages better growth. πΏβοΈ
Potting: πΊπΏ
Plant in prepared soil, adding clay pebbles at the pot bottom for increased permeability. After fixing the plant, daily management begins. π±π‘
Planting Care: βοΈπΏ
After potting, shield your plant from excessive light in a semi-shady spot before normal light exposure. Water sparingly when the soil is dry, avoiding overwatering directly on the plant to prevent rot. Adequate ventilation aids future growth. π¦π
Plant Potting Adaptation (PPA): π±π
PPA is crucial for the plant's acclimation to new soil. Refrain from excessive watering and fertilizing during this period, lasting about two weeks. When the plant grows upright and feels sturdy when gently pulled, normal maintenance can resume. πΏβ¨π»
