In the summer, the succulent meat lovers at home begin to get nervous, and the whole person is on alert, whether it is watering or lighting, in strict accordance with the secret books of posts found from everywhere, for fear that they will die directly if they are not careful about succulent meat.

However, there is no way to do this, who makes succulent plants easy to rot in summer? sometimes before the problem is found, the succulent plants in the family will die only in pots. After all, everyone was looking forward to the succulent plant at the beginning, and no one could bear to see the scene of black rot.

Cause of death

In fact, the reason for succulent black rot in summer is very simple, that is, there is something wrong with watering. First of all, the water must not be cut off in the summer, otherwise the succulent plant will not get enough water to maintain its defense system, so the succulent plant will be more vulnerable to fungal infection.

Of course, some people said that I didn't cut off the water, on the contrary, I would water the succulent plant from time to time, but in the end, I couldn't get rid of the black rot. Why on earth is that?

In fact, the main reason why most people's succulent plants will die in summer is that if the water in the soil cannot be discharged in time after watering, coupled with the high temperature in summer, high air humidity and poor root breathing, the immunity of plants will become much lower, so succulent plants will be more likely to black rot.

A clever solution.

Since the reason for black rot is that the root system is exposed to too much water, it is not easy for succulent plants to rot if the water is not allowed to touch the root system. Of course, if simply watered, the water will inevitably seep to the bottom of the basin, resulting in stagnant water in the roots.

At this time, if you use a straw, make a few holes in it and pour the water in, then the water will seep into the surrounding soil, and of course there will be less water flowing to the bottom of the basin. This method can avoid succulent black rotting roots to the greatest extent.

Operation method

1. First of all, prepare a thick straw and punch several small holes in the middle and lower part of the straw with tools such as scissors. The number of small holes can be adjusted according to the size of the succulent flowerpot.

2. Then insert the straw into the soil and pay attention to the position of the straw away from the succulent root system so as to avoid harming the fragile rhizome of the plant.

3. Then pour water into the straw with an elbow bottle, which can be filled directly at one time. Anyway, the amount of water that the whole straw can hold is not very much, and it will not cause succulent plants to be watered too much. About 10 cm basin 5 straw will be fine.

4. After that, it can be found that the soil in the succulent basin gradually becomes moist, but the soil does not become sticky, so it is just suitable for the succulent soil environment for summer.

5. Of course, it is still necessary to make some minor adjustments according to the size of the succulent basin. For example, the larger basin can be inserted into more straws, and the succulent plants that have entered the dormant period can be poured into a straw of water.
