Two ways to spend the summer with succulent plants will lead to 100% safety.

Tips:

Tequila does not blossom in the first five, ten or even fifty years of life.

Then, just when you have given up, it sticks out the pedicel.

The smell of flowers is a strong mixture of musk and carrion.

When the tequila blooms, it dies, blossoms only once, blocks everything, and rolls the dice once.

Decades ago, the United States began to grow large areas of tequila, harvesting flower hearts and young pedicels, which continues to this day.

Tequila leaves can be used to make soap, tequila flowers can make wine, and in the United States and Mexico, more than 1 million wild tequila plants are cut each year to make a private wine, "Meiscal."

The reason they like tequila is probably because they want to be slower and slower when they are a little tipsy.

Now that the temperature is 30 ℃ + in many places, we have entered the battle of succulent summer!

For beginners, we should first recognize the succulent characteristics of dormant and growing periods & management. As long as we learn these two key skills, we don't have to be afraid when summer comes!

Dormant period characteristics

Look at the body color:

1. The color of the leaves is dim and dull.

two。 The leaf color of the whole plant is basically the same.

3. The lower leaves change color, or the whole plant changes color.

4. The color and lustre of the stem and shoot are basically the same.

5. The color of the whole plant is the same as that of Daihua and petrochemical varieties.

View the root system:

1. The break color of the root slightly above the root is basically the same.

two。 The root is older than the middle part of the root, and the diameter of the root is getting smaller.

3. There is no obvious new root system in the root.

Look at the state of growth:

1. Heart leaf: the pointed leaf becomes wider and the piece extends outward. Become shorter and flat-topped; broad-shaped blades extend outward

two。 There are a small number of fallen leaves and withered at the tip or tip of the leaf.

3. Completely dormant, the whole plant has fallen leaves, and the stems of some varieties have withered above the soil.

4. Stem tip and branch tip aging and thickening into obtuse angle

5. The plant growth stagnated.

Growth period characteristics

Look at the body color:

1. The new leaves with fluffy leaves are lighter or darker than the old ones.

two。 Leaves glabrous, old leaves smooth and glossy, new leaves fresh and beautiful

3. The color of stem tip, branch tip and middle part of stem branch is dark or light, which can be divided into two kinds of color.

4. There are obvious differences in color between the top and the middle and lower parts of belt chemical and petrochemical varieties.

View the root system:

1. The root tip is darker and lighter than the middle part of the root.

two。 The root tip has a tender shoot 3 to 5 mm long and its diameter is larger than that in the middle of the root.

3. It has the largest new root system.

Look at the state of growth:

1. Heart leaves: pointed leaves are long and narrow, uneven, and wide ones close or curl in the middle.

two。 There are no fallen leaves, withered leaves and so on.

3. Stem tip, branch tip fresh and tender, acuminate into acute angle; 4. The plant is full of vitality.

Dormant period management

In the dormant succulent, the active tissue activity in the body slowly reduces or even stops the functions of absorption, synthesis, conversion and release of nutrient water.

At this point, the succulent plant will stop growing.

1. To reduce the water supply, as long as a little water is sprayed on the soil surface, or even without watering, because the internal operation of the succulent plant in the dormant period has basically stopped, and the plants cannot absorb it at this time. On the contrary, it is easy to cause anoxic fester of plant roots.

two。 Avoid direct sun exposure

3. Ventilation and cooling, usually open more windows, open the door for ventilation, a small action, meat can live one more day.

4. Can add a layer of volcanic stone in the soil, because the volcanic stone is relatively light, there are many small pores, can well dissipate moisture and heat.

5. For diseased and withered leaves, gently clip them off with tweezers to avoid decay and breeding bacteria and avoid causing infectious diseases.

6. Stop fertilizing and eating, and once you enter the dormant period, stop thinking about fertilizing and gaining weight, and save your life first.

Growth period management

1. Full illumination

If the summer type does not have enough light, it will grow immediately, and then it will not be saved!

The temperature is the highest from June to August in summer, except for the hottest time of the day, 11:00-14:00, succulent plants can be directly insolated, the more beautiful the color, the thicker the leaves.

Be sure to shade in the hottest time to avoid burns. You can also move to indoor astigmatism.

2. Proper watering

Summer type succulent plants are generally the most drought-tolerant, but the water demand increases in the growing season, watering in the morning and evening when the temperature of the basin soil is low, and the soil is dry and then watered.

3. Avoid the rain

The succulent plants of the summer type are afraid of being caught in the rain, because they are very irritating and can also be waterlogged.

4. Cooling above 38 ℃

Move these succulent plants into a brighter place indoors when you are over 38 ℃.

5. Apply thin fertilizer

Summer meat during the growing period can be fertilized once a month. In addition to buying professional liquid fertilizer and compound fertilizer, the dregs of mustard seeds, sesame seeds and soybeans can also be used as fertilizer after being air-dried. Sprinkle 2-3 grams into the basin every 10 days or so after crushing.
