Recently, Huichang fell into the resentment of not getting enough sleep every day. Huichang really experienced the matter of sleepy in spring, tired in autumn and napping in summer. In comparison, our flesh is actually very good. It would be nice to sleep once a year.

Dormancy is a peaceful but dangerous stage for succulent plants because many plants do not wake up after dormancy.

In order to adapt to the growing environment, almost every variety of succulent plants forms an annual dormant or semi-dormant habit, during which they stop growing and survive by consuming their own nutrients.

The dormancy of different varieties of plants is also different, generally according to the growth law will be divided into three types of succulent plants: summer type, winter type, spring and autumn type.

In the hot summer, in addition to summer plants can still burst out vigorous vitality, most of the other types of plants will enter dormancy to varying degrees.

Now that the temperature is gradually rising, many varieties have begun to show signs of dormancy. Meat friends must take care of their mindset. After all, meat can't cry and make trouble three times to get our attention.

First of all, we need to know that succulent plants do not change much in appearance and become silly during dormancy. How to put it is that they become slow to respond to water and fertilizer and are prone to decay.

Dormant period characteristics

1, leaves: dull and dull, and the leaves of the whole plant have the same color, at the same time, it is possible that the leaves turn yellow and fall off.

Some rosettes become more succulent, while fleshy meat like the apricot family grows a paper-like skin to protect itself.

2, root system: the activity slows down, even stagnates, and the root is mature in the middle of the root. If you stare at it every day, you may find that its root is getting smaller and smaller in diameter.

During this period, succulent plants have no obvious new roots, after all, nutrients for their own growth is not enough to eat.

If we confirm that our succulent plants have entered a dormant period, then we must not treat them equally at this time. We should treat them differently.

Do the following so that our succulent plants can sleep steadily this summer and wake up beautifully in autumn.

Watering

Although in appearance, they are quiet "meat" (pretend succulent summer is still beautiful, after all, we should love all succulent states! But in fact, the role of their own transpiration is carried out diligently. But at the same time, the root activity is slowing down, or even stagnating.

It is contradictory whether it is right or not, so the controversy about watering has never stopped, generally adopt water control, reduce watering frequency and watering quantity, as long as spray a little on the soil surface.

Their roots need a certain amount of humidity, so they can't stay dry completely, otherwise the roots will dry to death. For slow-growing varieties, signs of decline may not appear until the beginning of spring.

Watering is best when the temperature is low in the morning and evening. It is recommended to find a cool night and water the flowerpot comfortably after it is not hot.

Fertilizer application

If you are still wondering whether to control or stop watering, you really can't even think about fertilization. the succulent plant's ability to absorb fertilizer during dormancy is so small that it is almost negligible.

At this time, if you apply fertilizer, it is easy to burn seedlings, so ah, it is important to save your life first, stay in the green hills, do not fear the lack of firewood!

Light

Try to avoid direct sunlight, put succulent in astigmatism, although can not stand the hot sun, but succulent is inseparable from the sun, without light, it is easy to grow apprentice.

So the best succulent and best environment should be cool, ventilated, bright and well lit, which is really not contradictory at all.

Meat users who use sunscreen can refer to: when the temperature is not more than 30 ℃, you can not pull the sunshade net, but you need to pay attention to the succulent state, and some succulent plants that are difficult to spend the summer can be maintained in a cool and ventilated place.

Between 30 ℃ and 35 ℃, you can pull the sunshade net or not, mainly depending on the lighting of succulent plants, which can be treated differently.

Has been exposed to succulent, UV resistance, or can accept direct sunlight, it does not matter if you do not pull the sunshade net.

Balcony maintenance semi-exposed succulent, no exposed succulent strong resistance, it is best to avoid the high temperature period, pull up the sunshade net.

If the succulent plants are raised in the shade, don't suddenly change the lighting conditions. They are very easy to burn.

In addition, in this temperature range, succulent plants continue to be wrapped into buns and begin to sleep, so succulent plants need to be maintained in a cool and ventilated place and sunshade nets need to be pulled up.

If the highest temperature reaches 35 ℃ or more, the sunshade net must be pulled, even the succulent plants of summer seed type will be dormant in such a high temperature environment.

Ventilation

Ventilation is critical for dormant succulent plants, when the temperature is high because water evaporation takes away heat.

Good ventilation can effectively cool plants and reduce moisture in the soil, which can avoid rotting roots. It can also effectively control diseases and insect pests.

If the maintenance environment is not ventilated, no matter how cool it is, your succulent plant is likely to commit suicide in a few days, black rot, water, and so on, all of which are terminal diseases!

Usually open more windows to let some fresh air in, electric fans, hair dryers that the creation of air flow is ultimately no match for the natural wind, but also can put succulent plants in a slightly higher position, of course, the first priority is safety.

Succulent dormancy is not terrible, summer is also the only way, we should carefully observe the succulent state, it is best to make a record, combined with the above points, to create a good sleeping environment for meat.

The chief would like to remind you that all methods should not be applied blindly. You should constantly explore and sum up the most suitable method in the process of maintenance. You can also share your own experience in the message.
