After the beginning of summer, succulent overgrowth and dormancy have become a topic often discussed by flower friends. It is also succulent, all in the same environment, why some are dormant while others only grow?

Dormancy and overgrowth are two different concepts, dormancy is to resist high temperature, slow down the growth rate, and reduce the demand for water and light, while overgrowth is a stress response to get more sunlight and make stems and leaves grow madly.

After understanding these two concepts, and then going back to the place of origin of succulent plants, it is not difficult to understand that these two situations occur in different succulent plants.

The hometown of stone lotus and cactus is Mexico, which is cooler in summer than in our country, but the highest average temperature can reach 33 ℃ from June to July, and the extreme maximum temperature is also very hot. In other words, most of the flesh of crassulaceae, such as Euphorbia, thick-leaf grass and windmill grass, will be very active for high temperatures in summer, and if they are hydrated enough, they will not have any obstacles in rooting and taking pots.

On the other hand, South Africa, the hometown of apricots, blisters and Yinbojin, is exactly the opposite of our winter and summer rules. South Africa has the highest temperatures from December to January, but the average maximum temperature is only about 26 ℃. This means that these meat varieties living in South Africa are essentially lack of experience of high temperature and extreme heat. From a heat-resistant point of view, it is far less heat-resistant than these varieties originating in Mexico.

Finally, the Canary Islands. The Canary Islands are characterized by not a drop of rain in the summer, forcing mages and roses to conserve their strength through dormancy. In South Africa, although it is a little hot in summer, it continues to rain. But the summer in the Canary Islands is too dry. This makes the mage and roses have a more determined habit of dormancy.

A classic case is that Mexico, also a close relative, grows vigorously in summer, while South Africa's tortoiseosaurus goes dormant in summer, which is the difference in the climate and environment of the country of origin.
