What is the function of paving stones for succulents?

The stones on the soil surface of succulents are called paving stones, and there are many stone particles that can be used as paving stones for succulents, such as coarse river sand particles that need to be collected and screened by themselves, weathered rocks that need to be brought home by themselves, and medical stone, volcanic stone, green pumice, sun stone and so on that we usually buy online, among which coarse river sand particles and medical stone have the most meat friends, the former because there is no cost, and the latter because of versatile colors.

So what's the function of paving stones for succulents? Can we not have a meaty road? Of course, it is possible. After all, it is not mandatory to spread succulents, but personally, the advantages of spreading succulents outweigh the disadvantages. Let me talk about the role of succulent paving stones:

1. It's beautiful. This is also the decorative function mentioned by the subject. If we don't give meaty pavement, the most intuitive thing we see when we appreciate meaty is black soil, which seriously affects its overall beauty. The top is cute or colorful, and the bottom is dirty. Please fill in this picture yourself! If you put a paving stone on the fleshy meat, especially the golden wheat stone, it will not only be more ornamental, but also add a lot to the overall value.

2. Insect control. Many meat lovers complain that there are often bugs like blackfly in their meaty pots, especially the meaty seedlings planted. Blackfly usually lays eggs in nursery soil rich in humus, then hatches larvae and eats the roots of fleshy seedlings. If we put a paving stone on the meat, the insects will not see the soil, only the bare stones, and will not lay eggs again.

3. Prevent soil splashing. Meat lovers who don't pave meaty roads often encounter such a situation: when watering meaty roads, if the action is a little heavier, or if you water too much at once, the meaty soil will often be washed out of a big pit, or the soil will be washed everywhere, and the pot surface will look ugly. Besides, it will happen when it rains heavily. The soil in the fleshy bowl was beaten everywhere. If we spread meaty noodles, we can effectively prevent these situations from happening.

4. Stay hydrated. Of course, this influence has two sides. If the particle ratio of the succulent soil itself is not high enough, the basin soil will be dried for a longer time in the future, which will greatly increase the probability that the succulent soil will rot due to long-term humidity. On the other hand, if the meat is controlled by high particles, the water retention capacity of the soil can be improved after paving, so that it will not be withered by the rapid drying of the soil under the condition of excessive illumination. In a word, the advantages of paving fleshy pavement outweigh the disadvantages, so I suggest that the subject had better pave his fleshy pavement.
