Zuku Conditions
What should I do when my Zukus arrive?
Once your Zukus arrive, you have to immediately remove them from the packaging and let them rest for about 3 days in a dry and well-lit place (if it is indoors, it is better). It is important to avoid direct sun and drafts. After this period, and as long as the substrate is completely dry, you can water your Zukus and place them in their new home.
What is the difference between a Zuku and a normal plant?
Zukus are plants that contain water by themselves and are therefore very resistant to drought. So the most important thing is to control the risks very well. Unlike a normal plant, these plants are very sensitive to excess water, so it is important to water them only and exclusively when the substrate is completely dry. She will supply herself and without the need for great care. You just have to enjoy watching them grow!
Can I place my Zuku directly in full sun?
Although the Zukus are plants that tolerate high temperatures and sunlight very well, you have to take into account that you will receive plants that are just babies and that have been inside a greenhouse all their lives. Our recommendation is that you let him adapt to his new home little by little. The ideal is to start by putting it in the shade, in a place with a lot of indirect light, and little by little move it to sunnier places. Its leaves are very sensitive to sunburn, not taking that into account could be very damaging!
What type of substrate do my Zukus need?
It is important to use a special substrate for cacti and succulents. Excess water is very harmful for this type of plants, so using the appropriate substrate guarantees good drainage and that there are no accumulations of water. Over time you will have to transplant them and use larger pots for the plant to grow healthy and strong, so it is important that you keep this in mind!
