After the Beginning of Summer, the temperature began to rise gradually, the sun became more and more poisonous, and many greenhouses have now been covered with shade nets. It is said that summer is the most difficult time for succulent plants. Friends who have spent the summer with plants must feel it deeply, and casualties are always inevitable. Prepare in advance to lay a good foundation for succulent plants to spend the summer.

Shading

Many of the succulent plants that grow in their native places grow in rock crevices or next to rocks or bushes, so they are not completely exposed to the hot sun during the day. Liliaceae, in particular, grows the whole plant under the soil surface in its native place, exposing only transparent "windows" for photosynthesis. Although direct sunlight is an indispensable element for the healthy growth of succulent plants, it refers to the growing period of succulent plants. If in summer, proper shade is still necessary. When shading, succulent plants can be placed in a cool place where the sun does not shine directly. if the space is not available, buy a 50-70% shading net to cover it.

In addition, if the newly bought succulent plant is originally planted in a greenhouse, please remember to use a gradual approach to keep it within reach of the sun. In case the plant does not adapt to the environment, leading to heatstroke!

Ventilation

Ventilation is very important for succulent plants because it can not only help the succulent plants dissipate heat and cool down, but also keep the humidity in the air balanced. If the environment of planting succulent plants is poorly ventilated, in summer with high humidity, it is not only easy to cause germs on the soil surface and lead to basal stem and leaf rot, but also make the root system sick and die, but also prone to insect pests.

The gap between the plants is slightly opened, do not be arranged too closely, it can make the ventilation smooth and reduce the damage caused by muggy heat. Staggered according to the height of the plant, the effect of ventilation can be achieved. If there is not enough space, it is recommended to blow slightly with a fan when the humidity is more than 50% to maintain the circulation of air.

Watering

Try not to water in the hot sun, so as not to cause leaf injury; watering should not be excessive, especially succulent, it is best to wait until the soil is completely dry for three to four days before watering. If your area is stuffy and wet in summer, it is best to wait for the soil to dry for three to four days and choose a cool evening or evening water supply.

About twice a month, the water supply is preferably an amount that can evaporate quickly, and it is recommended that it be given only on the soil surface around the plant, or use the soaking method to absorb water from the basin bottom, but remember not to soak for too long. In muggy weather, fans can be used to help evaporate excess moisture.

Clean and tidy environment

Keeping the planting environment clean can reduce rot, shift spots and other diseases. High temperature and humidity in summer is easy to breed mildew, resulting in plant rot, spot disease and so on. In order to avoid the occurrence of these germs, remember to keep the surrounding environment clean, ventilated, withered and withered. The dead leaves that fall in the basin should be picked up and discarded, because after watering, the dead leaves that fall on the soil surface are easily moldy due to lack of ventilation.

Avoid drug injury

After spraying the plant, please remember to place the plant in a cool place to prevent drug injury caused by hot sun exposure in summer. Sometimes it is inevitable to find pests such as aphids, shell insects and snails, so whether it is spraying with pesticides or using self-made organic deworming water, please remember to put the plants in a cool place after using the medicine, and do not let the plants bask in the sun to avoid drug injuries. that is, the leaves show brown scars such as burn spots. Finally, I would like to remind you that strict water supply control over succulent plants is not abusing plants. Sometimes too much water supply will cause succulent casualties. Therefore, please do not have the heart to supply water frequently.
