Succulents will face a huge problem in the process of maintenance, that is, the succulents lack sunlight in the environment of breeding succulents, or the succulents can not get sunlight for a long time, and over time, the succulents will grow, and the performance of the succulents will grow very long, and the leaf spacing between the leaves will gradually increase.

Many novices are not very good at raising succulents, or the south-facing balcony at home, the light time is very short, even if the succulent is placed under the south-facing balcony, it can not meet the long-term light, and it will still grow, which is why raising succulents should choose full sunshine, or choose to maintain in an outdoor and open-air environment.

Put the succulent on the outdoor bay window or on the terrace, or in the yard, the above three environments, raising succulents will not appear at all, only in the lack of sunlight succulents will appear succulent, the necessary premise of raising succulents is to meet sufficient light, no light is designated to work.

Many kinds of succulents, due to the lack of light for a long time, look like octopus, the branches grow very long, crooked branches, even if the head is cut off later, there is no way to save, so everyone in the premise of buying succulents, we must observe whether the light on the balcony is sufficient, only in the place where the light time is longer, you can raise succulents.

If there is a lack of light in the room or the time of light is not very long, you can choose to use the fill light to make up for artificial light, the plant light can well eliminate the problem of succulent growth, put the succulent under the light to maintain, only need to irradiate about 6 hours a day is completely enough, the role of the plant light is to make up for the lack of sunlight.

In another case, succulent growth will also occur is a large amount of artificial watering, the succulent root system, absorbing water for a long time, the overall growth rate will continue to accelerate, the growth rate will be accelerated, the result is growth, the appearance will become very ugly.

Succulents in the indoor balcony of the family, first of all, to meet the sun's rays, followed by less watering, succulents in the whole growth cycle of the water demand is not too much, plus the balcony ventilation conditions are relatively poor, the water evaporation rate is slow, a small amount of watering, choose dry soil maintenance, do not let the succulent roots absorb water for a long time, in this case, you can also put an end to the growth.

It is not an easy thing to raise a good succulent, it is necessary to take into account the light of the maintenance environment, as well as many factors such as daily watering and ventilation.
