Unwittingly came again, hot and humid July, let us know in advance, the focus of the next month of maintenance.

July is the hottest month of the year, and its climate is characterized by high temperature, muggy heat and humidity, which is extremely disadvantageous to the growth of most species of succulent plants, so the management of succulent plants this month focuses on ventilation and cooling.

Tequila plants such as blow, nail crab, tree ice, Huishan, etc.; most species of cactus, such as golden mound, giant vulture jade, Venus, grass ball, and cactus plants such as dragon god pillar, near guard pillar, etc.

Quiwei jade, golden unicorn, wrinkled leaf unicorn, Chunfeng Zhihui and Euphorbiaceae of Euphorbiaceae; desert rose, Huibixiao of Euphorbiaceae and "summer type" succulent plants of Apocynaceae are still in peak growing season this month.

Lying cattle and dinosaurs of the genus Aloe Vera; "intermediate" succulent plants growing slowly or basically stagnant in spring and autumn, such as rainbow jade and tube leaf flower moon of crassulaceae

On the other hand, most of the varieties of succulent plants of the family Prunus, such as Lycopodiaceae and Caryophyllum, as well as South African tortoise, spring grass and broad-leaf spring grass, and Saussurea, mountain rose and red small clothes of crassulaceae. The growth of "winter-type" succulent plants such as Vientiane and jade fans of the aloe family stopped completely.

This month's management can be carried out according to different species and cultivation environment, but no matter which type of succulent plants should avoid heavy rain and long-term rain, and require good ventilation to avoid plant rot caused by stagnant water.

Watering

The "summer type" succulent plants in the vigorous growth period can be fully watered this month, especially in sunny days because of the large amount of water evaporation, it is necessary to replenish water in time to meet the needs of plant growth, and the watering time is better in the early morning or in the evening.

But the highest temperature should not be watered at noon, otherwise it will not only be not conducive to root absorption, but also cause damage to the root system. Watering should be "no dry, no watering, watering thoroughly". Stagnant water in basin soil and long-term drought are not conducive to plant growth.

The "intermediate" succulent plant grows slowly and does not need much water, so it is necessary to reduce watering and keep the basin soil slightly moist.

As for the succulent plants of "winter type", due to the complete cessation of growth, watering should be strictly controlled, especially the succulent plants with extremely succulent leaves such as caryophyllum and succulent flowers of the family Amygdaceae can even be completely cut off from water, otherwise it will easily lead to plant decay and death.

Light

Most of the "winter type" and "intermediate" succulent plants should pay attention to shading. Family cultivation can be placed on the inside of the balcony or in bright indoor light, or in the shade of flowers or trees in the courtyard, but pay attention to rain protection.

Greenhouse growers can open around the greenhouse to facilitate ventilation and cooling. Plastic film should still be left at the top to prevent rain and build a sunshade net to avoid hot sun exposure. If there are conditions, ventilators or electric fans can also be installed in the greenhouse to enhance ventilation and avoid plant decay caused by muggy heat and humidity.

Rainbow jade, fire offerings, sunset geese and other succulent plants with bright leaves grow slowly this month, but they should also be maintained in places with plenty of sunshine, so that the leaves can be beautiful and bright, with high ornamental value.

Most varieties of "summer type" succulent plants can be maintained in places with plenty of light and good ventilation outside.

For some of the more delicate varieties, we should avoid the strong direct sunlight at noon, and do not suddenly expose the plants indoors or other places with insufficient light to the scorching sun.

In order to avoid being burned by the hot summer sun, forming ugly scars, for stone flowers or other kinds of seedlings, or even sun-cooked, loss of vitality.

Reproduction

This month is a month with frequent occurrence of natural disasters such as flood, storm and hail. we should pay attention to flood control, storm prevention and hail prevention, and often understand meteorological information. If there is storm, continuous rain, hail and other weather, timely measures should be taken to avoid losses.

In addition, but also regular inspection, once found that plants rotted by fungal infection should be timely removal or isolation, and spray drugs such as carbendazim, in order to avoid large-scale infection.

In the northern region, attention should be paid to the harm of red spiders in high temperature, dryness and poor ventilation, which can strengthen ventilation and appropriately increase air humidity for prevention. Bird pecking and rodent eating will also cause damage to plants, and in serious cases, even the wound will rot, resulting in the whole plant rotting.

The "summer type" succulent plants such as tequila, cactus, Apocynaceae and Euphorbiaceae can be propagated by branches or cuttings, and the seeds of newly collected cactus can be sown at any time.

In the northern region, the succulent plants of Cactaceae and Euphorbiaceae can be grafted and propagated when the weather is sunny.
