* What should you do when you received the plant 

Your new succulent may look dry when it arrives. Don't worry, the stems and leaves of succulents will store water, even if they are out of the soil without water support, they can withstand long periods of dryness.

1. How long will they take to adapt?

It will take 2-3 week for the freshly received succulents to get used to new environments. Don't expose it to the sun immediately. Succulents can be grown indoor or outdoor but they do need plenty of light, depending on the species. For most succulents will be fine left under full sun 2-3 hours every day, but take a note of Echeveria  and other species that prefer shade in this period of time (especially hot weather) keep the soil moist.

2. Repot 

Plant new succulents in a pest free permeable potting mix with good air infiltration , mix the potting mix with zeolite or perlite to improve drainage, ideally 1/3 of perlite and 2/3 of potting mix will be fine.  Higher water frequency in the first 3 weeks to keep it nice and moist, it would help developing new roots and prevents dehydration. 

3. Check for broken roots, disease and bugs

When you purchase and plants online do check their roots and leaf for disease and bugs. if you found any in the roots break the parts off flush the roots and dry them out and repot it after the roots dry out, break the unhealthy leaves can make the plant grow healthier as there are more nutrients for them.

4. If you bought cuttings from us

For cuttings,  check if the wounded parts are heal. Before potting break some unwanted leaves from below upwards, by doing this it can reduce nutrients consumption of the plant. When there are no roots or the roots isn't very strong yet, keep the cutting hydrated, and away from the sun( avoid dehydration).

 * Change of color

1. External Factors

Succulents may look different and change its color according to the. sun access and frequency of watering, sometimes variation may occur if you are lucky. When the plant has shallow roots, let the roots develop until it is strong enough to place on a sunny spot for that extra hue.

2. Different succulents capability to sun lights 

Such as Sedum, Cactus and Agave usually look good under full sun. Echeveria, Graploveria, Aloe and Euphorbia usually prefers partly shade. And some succulents are just not very capable of sun light, such as Haworth, Pachyphytum.

 3. Season heat/cool

Different species have different capability when it comes to heat/cool manage. In Spring and summer succulents that cant cope with high heat need to be place in a shady spot with good air flow, water frequently to cool off. While others not able to handle colds of autumn and winter also need to take action, place them under cover and water less to avoid potential harm from cold and humid weathers.

 * How to deal with fungus and Pest

1. What are they

Many succulents are prone to harmful fungi and bacteria. Especially in high rain fall times of the year, fungus love the humid weathers.

 

Insects such as Mealy Bug (small white fluffy balls); Aphids(tiny black insects) usually on the flowers, Scale, aphid, snug and snails. can cause root rot leaf spot ,powdery mildew and rust.

2. How to deal with them(just a few recommendation) better do more research your self

 *收到植物后该怎么办

 

新的多肉植物到来时可能看起来很干。不用担心，多肉植物的茎叶会储存水分，即使没有水的支持而离开土壤，它们也能承受长时间的干燥。

1.他们需要多长时间才能适应？

新鲜的多肉植物需要2-3周的时间才能适应新的环境。不要立即将其暴露在阳光下。多肉植物可以在室内或室外种植，但根据种类的不同，它们确实需要大量的光线。对于大多数多肉植物来说，每天会在2-3小时的阳光下没事，但是要注意Echeveria和其他喜欢在这段时间（尤其是炎热的天气）保持阴凉的物种。

2.换盆

在具有良好空气渗透性并无害虫的混合沃土中种植刚收到的多肉，为了改善排水将盆栽混合物与沸石或珍珠岩混合，1/3的珍珠岩和2/3的沃土均匀的混合在一起。刚开始的三周内浇水的频率要比较高使其保持良好和湿润的状态，这将有助于新根的形成并防止脱水。

3.检查是否有断根，是否有生病。

当您在线购买和种植植物时，请检查其根部和叶子是否有病和虫害。如果您发现植物根部有任何碎裂的部分，请冲洗根部把不好的摘掉，然后在根部变干后再重新种植，摘除破碎不健康的叶子会使植物变得更健康，因为植物主体可以获得更多的养分。

4.如果您从我们这里购买多肉扦插部分

对于扦插，检查受伤部位是否愈合。在盆栽之前，从下向上摘掉一些不需要的叶子，这样做可以减少植物的养分消耗。当没有根或根还不是很牢固时，请保持水分，并远离阳光（避免脱水）。

 

*颜色变化 
1.外部因素 
光线是否充足和浇水的频率会改变多肉的颜色甚至是外观
阳光充足和浇水的频率，如果幸运的话，有时可能会发生变化。
当植物的根系浅时，让根部发育直至其结实到足以在阳光充足的地
方放置这种额外的色调。 

2.多肉植物对太阳光的吸收能力不同 
诸如景天属，仙人掌和龙舌兰通常在阳光下看起来很好。
Echeveria，Graploveria，Aloe和Euphorbia通常偏爱部分阴影
。还有一些肉质植物不是很能吸收太阳光，例如Haworth，
Pachyphytum。 

3.季节热/冷 在对热和冷的忍耐程度，不同的多肉物种对高温和低温的忍耐
程度是不一样的。在春季和夏季，要将不耐高温的多肉植物放在空
气流通良好的阴凉处，增加浇水的次数来达到物理冷却。而在秋季和冬季无法
忍耐低温的多肉则是最好将它们放在保温且接触不到雨水的地方，以免根部和叶
子冻伤甚至死亡。

*如何处理真菌和害虫
1.他们是什么

许多肉质植物容易产生有害真菌和细菌。特别是在一年中降雨最多的季节，
真菌非常喜欢潮湿的天气。

 昆虫，例如Mealy Bug（白色蓬松小球）；蚜虫（微小的黑色昆虫）
通常在花上，介壳虫，白粉虱，蜗牛鼻涕虫。会引起根部腐烂叶上长斑，
粉状霉菌和锈病， 蜗牛鼻涕虫则会吃掉多肉它们的液体黏到的植物也会
长的不好甚至腐烂它们的蛋一般是绿色密密麻麻的可以踩死它们。
