Village head broken thoughts: today, Taobao live broadcast, many friends said to me a happy May Day, I also wondered at that time, not yet to May Day? When I came back to check, I found that the Labour Day holiday had really begun! Some of the meat in the courtyard is about to usher in the devil's summer without enjoying the beauty of spring? My heart is broken.

After Labour Day holiday, we will soon arrive at "the Beginning of Summer", so it is time for us to consider some topics related to the summer. What I want to share with you today is the succulent maintenance calendar sorted out by the god of Xianzhen @ Yushan, which covers a very comprehensive range of families and genera, which is a good reference for beginners; but there is no absolute standard, and we still need to learn something useful in accordance with local conditions. Can't copy it completely.

Abstract: in late spring and early summer in May, the temperature is suitable, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the sunshine time is long, which creates favorable conditions for the growth of succulent plants.

Among them, the "summer type" succulent plants are generally in the peak growing season, such as Dragon King Ball, White Sandalwood, Golden Dragon, Meihuajiao and many other species of Cactaceae bloom this month.

The "intermediate" succulent plants such as lying cattle, dinosaurs and some varieties of Aloe vera are also growing vigorously.

On the other hand, the raw stone flowers, light bulbs, spring peach jade, Ayanayao jade and Anzhen of the family Amygdaceae

Xindongni, Moonlight, Saussurea, Dongyun, etc., South African tortoise shell of Dioscoreaceae

The "winter type" succulent plants of hyacinth family, such as root longevity, celery, spring grass, broad-leaf spring grass, Buddha hoop and so on, grow slowly due to the increase of temperature, and even stop growing in the south with higher temperature. Therefore, the management of succulent plants should be carried out according to different species this month.

Lighting:

The "summer type" succulent plants of the tequila family, such as Huishan, nail crab, Raytheon and the "summer type" succulent plants such as Longwangqiu and Jinzhu, and the "intermediate" succulent plants such as sunset geese and pyracanthaceae can be maintained in a sunny place outside. this can make the plant sturdy and beautiful in color, but if the light is not enough, it will make the plant grow, resulting in loose plant type. some varieties with red and yellow markings on their leaves are dim in color. Or even disappear.

Longshen wood and other stems or leaves with powdered varieties had better be cultured indoors all the year round, otherwise the powdered varieties will fall off due to the wind and rain, affecting the ornamental.

The "intermediate" varieties of aloe family, such as Yulu, Winter constellation and Ruihe, can be shaded properly to avoid strong sunlight to burn leaves and affect growth, but they should not be too shaded, so as not to cause loose plant type and crisp leaves due to lack of light. Easy to break

Stone flowers, Vientiane, jade fans, snow lotus and other "winter type" can be kept in bright light without direct sunlight. Plants placed indoors should be well ventilated so as not to spoil the beloved meat in the muggy climate. Outdoor should avoid long-term rain, otherwise it will cause rotten roots due to stagnant water in the basin.

Watering:

For the varieties that are in the growing period, the soil should be kept moist, but it is necessary to avoid stagnant water in the basin soil to imitate to cause rotten roots; but it should not be too dry, otherwise the basin soil will be dry for a long time, and the plants will not die, but they will not grow slowly, or even stop growing. The leaves are shrunk and have no luster, which seriously affects the ornamental.

Watering must be thoroughly, the best water can flow out along the drainage hole at the bottom of the flowerpot, which can wash out the salt in the soil, prevent it from adhering to the root system, affect plant growth, and cause rotting roots in serious cases.

As for the "winter-type" succulent plants that are about to go dormant, such as stone flower, imperial jade, snow lotus, Dongyun, Vientiane, jade fan and so on, although the plant growth has not completely stopped, it is very slow, and the water needed is not much, so it is necessary to properly control watering and keep the basin soil semi-dry.

The plants of the genus Aloe and some varieties of cactus have certain requirements for air humidity, so we should pay attention to spraying water to the plants when the climate is dry, so as to increase the air humidity and make the color fresh and moist.

Fertilizer application

The growing "summer type" succulent plants can be fertilized according to different varieties, while the dormant "winter type" should stop fertilizing.

Even the same type of succulent plants should be fertilized or not according to different varieties and individual differences. In short, fast-growing plants should apply more fertilizer, while slow-growing plants should apply less or no fertilizer.

This month, the "summer type" succulent plants can continue to change pots, and split propagation, cutting, grafting, sowing and propagation. Some flowering cactus plants can also be artificially pollinated for breeding.

This month, the climate is suitable, and pests become active. Attention should be paid to prevention and control, and the ventilation condition of the cultivation environment should be improved to prevent abnormal macula, black spot, brown spot and other physiological diseases caused by infection. If it is found that fungicides should be sprayed in time to prevent and control, so as not to expand the scope of infection.
