After buying succulent plants, most people do not carefully understand their habits and think that watering and basking in the sun will be fine. In fact, it is not, especially in summer, succulent plants have higher requirements for sunlight, the sun between 11:00 and 14:30 in the afternoon is a big taboo, and it is more suitable in the morning and after 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Basking in the sun can make succulent plants fat and beautiful, except in summer, spring and autumn can enjoy the sun, the longer the better, the best outdoor direct lighting conditions, because indoor glass blocks a large part of ultraviolet rays.

Appropriate shade in summer to prevent sunburn, in winter, then outdoor below minus 3 degrees had better not water, will freeze frostbite.

For succulent plants, the species of summer dormancy should be cautious, if they do not enter dormancy, the water will be cut off in advance, because of the high temperature and large evaporation at that time, it may wither, and some species that complete the alternation of new and old leaves in the dormant period will affect the differentiation of new buds and force the old leaves to wither ahead of schedule, which will affect the alternation of new and old leaves and make the whole plant die. If the plant has gone into dormancy and watered and fertilized it, it will cause rot. Therefore, only by correctly mastering the dormancy period can we do a good job in the management of the summer dormancy period.

Generally exposed in the balcony, there will be a little shade, the basic level of light in the greenhouse 40% or lower. At this time, it is enough to use a 2-needle sunshade net. If you are on the terrace or raise succulent plants in the open-air breeding area, and the light duration is more than 8 hours a day, you can consider using a 3-needle sunshade net, and the lighting conditions are more than 10 hours.

For the growing "summer type species" can be fully watered, but not stagnant water, rainy season should pay attention to drainage and waterlogging, so as not to cause rotting roots due to soil stagnant water. It should be pointed out that although succulent plants in the growing period are resistant to drought, they do not like drought. If there is a long-term lack of water in the growing season, the plant will not die, but it will grow very slowly or even stop, and its appearance is poor. Therefore, sufficient water must be given during the growing period, and watering time is better in the early morning, or in the evening, but to avoid watering at high temperature at noon.

There is no need to say much about the importance of soil ventilation, but also to conserve water a little better. If you can't, you can use this ratio: 40% peat plus 50% particles (or vermiculite, Maifan stone, etc.), and then paved with rainbow stone or red jade. The seedlings can have more peat, and the old piles can have more particles. Large temperature difference is conducive to succulent state, such as spring and autumn days, outdoor morning and evening temperature difference, open-air maintenance of succulent plants will change color in three or five days, the color will be very beautiful.
