Experience of professional succulent plants spending the summer safely

On the issue of spending the summer, first of all, we should be more pessimistic, do not put too much pressure on ourselves from the heart, everyone wants to keep the plants healthy and healthy, of course, death is inevitable, and all we can do is to provide environmental conditions suitable for their survival and growth.

Most crassulaceae plants grow on the west coast of North America, South Africa and southern Australia and the west coast, and most of them are not very afraid of heat, but are afraid of high heat and high humidity. Therefore, the environment is different, we can only be similar to the growth environment of the country of origin as far as possible, strict water control, strengthen ventilation, blowing air conditioning and dehumidification are what friends in the south should do in summer.

Suggestions for spending the summer

one

Purchase

You can start buying plants in the early spring, giving them plenty of time to grow their roots before the summer. It's not a big problem for children's shoes in the north, but it's best to finish them by mid-June. Children's shoes in the south, the temperature is relatively high around the middle of May, it is suggested that the purchase plan should be better before this, give plants half a month to a month to slow seedling and root. For the purchase of rootless seedlings, it is not recommended to be later than May, it takes about half a month to a month to take root, and after rooting, root development is needed to provide nutrients for the restoration of plant state. it is usually said that rootless southern children's shoes should be purchased before May. Try to buy seedlings instead of old stakes. Seedlings are usually planted or sown, with newer roots and greater activity.

two

Distribution of soil

Most of the crassulaceae plants grow fast in spring, autumn and winter, and the summer is mainly spent safely, so the soil should consider the characteristics of the weather in the south, and the air and water permeability of the soil should be strengthened if the humidity is especially high. Generally choose granular soil, the more common granular soil on the market are red jade soil, heliolite, deer marsh soil, perlite, pumice orchid, etc., reduce the proportion of peat vermiculite, of course, the spring growth period can ensure the collocation of peat compound fertilizer, in preparation for summer can be changed into granular soil medium-based ratio, soil replacement completion date can refer to the suggested time, but also to ensure slow seedling time.

three

Ventilation and water control

Try to put the plants in a well-ventilated place to ensure fresh air circulation, you can use shading net appropriately, 75% shading net can be used at the beginning of summer and the end of summer, and 50% shading rate can be used when the sun is particularly strong. When the sun is not seen all day during the rainy season, the shading net can be removed to strengthen ventilation. During this period, water should be controlled or cut off. Keep the plant roots dry when the air humidity is high. Only absorbing water from the air can also ensure the survival of plants. Ventilation can use electric fans, which is easy to solve, and the dehumidification function of air conditioners is also a lifesaver in periods of high humidity or high temperature and humidity.

If there is a continuous high temperature but dry air, it can be watered in the evening or midnight. The basin soil needs to be dry, and the soil is mainly made up of particles. There will be no continuous overcast and rainy environment in the next few days, and there is a good guarantee of ventilation. A small amount of water can be supplied along the basin wall. In principle, it can ensure that the soil will dry quickly and can provide a small amount of water. When watering in the morning and noon, or when the basin soil is at a high temperature, you should be careful not to have too much temperature difference when watering. In addition, you should be careful not to get drenched in summer, and do not let plant leaves or flower hearts grow with water droplets. According to friends in the south, red pottery is better than other materials in summer. At most, red pottery is replaced with granular soil in summer, and then returned to other materials after summer. It's just a bit of trouble.

four

Old pile

The purchase date of the old pile is slightly earlier than the first suggestion, and it is not recommended to plant the old pile directly without pruning the root, which often contains a lot of capillaries and a lot of soil impurity bacteria. The root system of the old pile stem is seriously Lignified, so the dry old leaves should be removed in time to ensure the cleanliness of the basin soil. To prevent spoilage and breeding germs. If the old root is redundant, the excess capillaries should be removed, the soil impurities on the root should be removed, the part of the main root should be retained, and the wound should be fully dried after pruning, and then planted in the soil after the new root is reissued.

five

Leaf insert backup

Learn to insert leaves to make a backup by yourself, and there will be a backup in case of death. When there are signs of black rot, cut off the head and break the leaves as soon as possible, the more thorough the effect, the better, at the same time, after the emergence of black rot, we should grasp to summarize the causes to avoid spread.

six

Medication

Use as little medicine as possible. Especially if there are children, old people and pregnant women at home, no matter how good the plants are, they are not as important as their relatives and friends and their own health.
