Experience the three secrets of raising succulent plants in summer

Succulent plants have always been welcomed by green plant lovers in Chongqing. As for the reason, I personally think that with the construction of high-rise buildings, people gradually begin to yearn for fresh natural scenery. But because they do not have time to go outdoors often to get close to nature, they choose to keep some green plants at home.

Summer has always been a nightmare for novice meat fans, because in this succulent season, it is bound to let beginners harvest the experience of empty pots. It is precisely because I have had such a painful experience, so today I will share with you the following experience of succulent plants and some wrong breeding methods.

1. Wrong watering method

1. Watering at the highest temperature at noon (if the temperature is too high, the water will evaporate quickly to form water vapor, and the basin will become a steam chamber, and then smother the plant roots)

2. Watering every day (in summer, some meat fans will think that succulent plants need a lot of water in a hot environment, but in fact it is just the opposite).

II. Prevention of diseases and insect pests

1. Fungi (if the succulent plant is exposed to muggy and humid environment for a long time, it is easy to be infected with black rot. Solution: in a ventilated environment, regularly spray germicidal solution to prevent)

2. Insect pests (scale insects are the most susceptible pests in summer, and drugs are very difficult to treat, so they can only be cleaned up manually, so we must prevent them in advance before plants are infected with black rot.

III. Matters needing attention

1. Succulent plants need at least 5 hours of direct light every day except summer.

2. Choose the correct watering method according to different varieties and different seasons, and judge specifically according to the dry and wet state of the basin soil, but if it is succulent in the dormant period in summer, it can be cut off or less water.

3. When choosing planting medium, it is best to give priority to the granular basin soil with good drainage.

Succulent special granular soil not only contains a variety of water-retaining granular media, but also has stable air permeability, rich nutrients and good water retention effect, of course, whether it is newly transplanted or planted new meat, or adult, old pile succulent can be applied to the granular soil.

High-quality natural volcanic stone particles have excellent soil improvement ability and the effect of air permeability, water conservation, slow release and fertilizer conservation. It can be used not only for the cultivation of adult and old pile succulent plants, but also for paving (volcanic stone contains many different mineral elements, the texture is very hard, there is no trouble of pulverization in a short time, and there is no problem of carrying bacteria and eggs).

Finally, there is another problem to pay attention to: when choosing a succulent pot, be sure to choose a hole in the bottom to maintain the air circulation of the succulent root system.
