Last Updated: 2024/09/20, Even dormant succulent plants can never be cut off in summer. But watering is skillful. Do not pour the water directly through, but along the four sides of the flowerpot, if it is a very small flowerpot, such as black square, just slowly from a corner.

In summer, even if it is a dormant succulent plant, it must not be able to cut off water. But watering is tricky. Do not pour water directly through, but along the flowerpot around, if it is a small flowerpot, such as black square, simply pour slowly from a corner, let the water in the flowerpot slowly soak through the siphon effect, to create breathable moist soil effect. I don't advocate watering in summer by dipping in pots. The reason is not that dipping in a basin is bad, but that dipping in a basin is a very troublesome thing, and it is very delicate. Soak in the basin for a long time, will form in the bottom of the wet situation. When the heat evaporated, the whole flowerpot turned into a steamer. It would be strange if it was not black and rotten.

Can't simply use temperature to think about when succulent plants need shade and when to control water, because the varieties are different, some are very strong, some are very delicate, it is best to carry out dormancy management according to the varieties, if it is exposed, to avoid long-term rain, because the south is relatively humid, easy to breed mold leading to plant decay, the legendary black rot, avoid exposure, because it is exposed, so be sure to find a shade net to block, a small amount of watering, When the temperature reaches more than 28 degrees Celsius, we should reduce the amount of watering. The original once a week is now once every two to three weeks. If it is too dry, we can spray a small amount of water in the morning or evening. Good fleshy leaves are powdery. Spraying water easily affects the appearance. Spraying on the soil surface is good. It is better to dry some than to water more.

Succulent plants are most afraid of hot weather in summer. Muggy means high humidity, which means that transpiration of succulent plants will fail. The water spray tactic will also fail. In high humidity conditions, mold will immediately flourish, leading to the occurrence of various diseases. If the weather is sunny and dry, even high temperatures are not a big problem. Just spray water on the ground and on the flower platform, plus fan blowing, can make the temperature drop several degrees. Even if it is an open terrace, splashing water and blowing are equally unambiguous cooling.

Fleshy plants watering time to choose evening, evening, is the best choice, the current temperature will not be too high, after a night of ventilation, not only can accidentally residual in the page of some water droplets dry, and the water in the pot soil can spread more evenly, but also volatilize a part, succulent plants are relatively safer. In addition, plants are more active at night in summer and can cope with sudden increases in water. The bad thing about watering during the day is that the heat preservation of water is much higher than that of pot soil, which can easily cause overheating of pot soil in the sun, resulting in disastrous consequences.

Some out of caution, will choose the rapid dip pot method, this can ensure that the necessary water to give more meat, without worrying about too much watering, the disadvantage is too much time, and in case there is a pot of meat root powder, equivalent to manual help infection. Occasionally, it can also spray the succulent plant planting environment at night, without spraying it on the succulent plants. In the basin above the succulent plants, let the mist fall on its own, and the water droplets are easy to volatilize, which can play a role in cooling down, and can also play a role in supplementing moisture for the succulent plants.

The worst thing you can do is get your succulent plants drenched in rain and then the sun comes out. To be honest, one way to do this is to make sure that your soil is absolutely solid in advance, and that there is enough space for the flesh to breathe even after it is watered. In addition, after the sun comes out, it is necessary to ensure that the air humidity is reduced as much as possible, so that the water vapor in the basin soil can be discharged. The best way is to blow the fan.
