I have known succulent plants for four or five years, and I really entered the pit in 2016. soon after I entered the pit, I followed the encyclopedia of succulent plants. I have been reading encyclopedia's tweets silently for more than 2 years. I am very grateful for this platform. I, a person who doesn't know anything, slowly become friends with succulent plants, clearly know the growth characteristics of succulent plants, and then enrich my terrace. Now basic flower cultivation is not a problem.

No more wordy words. This contribution is to tell you the experience of meat farming in Guangzhou, because the climate of Guangzhou is not distinct in four seasons, and the summer of high temperature and humidity is very long, and at the beginning, because of my ignorance, I did not pay less tuition fees. Now I tell you my experience (especially the novice meat friends in Guangzhou, don't spray me, I believe I am already a great god, I can cope with any environment. All kinds of methods can bring succulent plants back to life, )

First of all, I would like to tell you about the environment of my terrace, whether it is raising succulent plants or flowers, the first thing to do is to understand their living environment. People who often read articles that raise succulent plants should find one thing: how to match the soil? According to the environment! How to spend the summer? According to the environment! How to prevent insect pests? Or according to the circumstances! Therefore, the environment determines everything, what kind of environment to raise what kind of flowers and plants, this is my personal opinion, as for everyone's opinion, I can not convince everyone, the truth is reasonable.

Well, let's go back to the meat-raising environment of my family. Guangdong has a long-term high temperature and humidity, and the biggest feature of my terrace is windy! I live on the 2nd floor platform of the community on the edge of the viaduct. Guangzhou is full of viaducts. Whatever depends on the roadside should be windy. Why is it windy? My home is next to a viaduct at a crossroads, and there are no buildings covered around the crossroads. Coupled with the wind brought by the traffic day and night, the balcony is windy every day. Typhoon days can be described as horror. Guangzhou is a coastal area. Spring is the rainy season, summer is the typhoon season, or it rains. It can rain for several months in a row, but the summer rain is more severe. In addition to the rain, it has to rain against the sun of more than 30 degrees. This is fatal for succulent plants. But the only thing that can save my succulent life is the wind.

Speaking of typhoons, I have to talk about the "pigeon" typhoon in August 2017, which almost killed me. Let's take a look at the picture:

The news that day said: the central wind speed of 45 meters per second passes through Panyu, Guangzhou, and then I think this speed is passing through my house. I saw that at that moment I was trembling all over. Let's take a look at what it's like when it's calm:

Is there a feeling of quiet and good time?

Let's take a look at the disaster area after the storm.

It can be said that they are all broken bodies, even corpses.

At that time, I thought, if I can't save it, I will get out of the pit and dare not touch it again.

I can only save as much as I can, with a temperature of more than 30 degrees (the temperature returned to more than 30 degrees the day after the typhoon), take a pile of wet soil, plant the succulent land one by one, and then cut off the water and put it under the wooden pavilion to blow, shading or continue. I took a sunshade film to cover one side of the pavilion, thinking that at the end of August, it would be fine after two months, and everything had to be left to fate.

In October, the weather gradually became cooler, and more than half of my succulent plants died, almost all injured, and none of them were good. Then I moved out to live in the sun, and resigned to my fate. However, succulent is a strong baby, an autumn change can make me indulge in it again, without saying much, look at the picture:

The picture shows the time when the photo was taken that day. The bottle in figure 1 was killed in the typhoon. I didn't care anymore after I changed the basin.

No comparison no harm ah, in order to contribute, I spent some time to sort out a succulent comparison picture, to tell you a sentence: spring goes and spring comes again! Don't lose heart, don't be afraid of how ugly you are in summer.

This red egg was beheaded by the typhoon and then shot in the head!

Phenba group, although did not return to the best state, but grew up a lot, it really shocked me.

This Debbie is a little miserable, stripped off all the leaves by the typhoon, but still very strong return, people marvel at the strength of life.

This Lu's stone lotus lost its best shape in the typhoon, but a bunch of cubs burst out. Give it a round of applause.

The silver star lost weight by the typhoon, and then slowly rose back.

There are too many shocks, so I won't go into details one by one. The typhoon gave me the drive to transform the balcony. Today, Guangzhou experienced a Typhoon Ivani, and there was a slight tornado on my terrace. I made a lot of videos. I have a chance to share it with you. It's really scary. There's no doubt that my succulent plants are all wet, but I didn't overturn any of the succulent plants in this typhoon, because this time the rain film has been reformed based on past experience. Give yourself some excuse to write about my succulent typhoon next time. (it's not a simple summer anymore.)

After talking about the typhoon, let's talk about summer. When it comes to spending summer, everyone is afraid. The question most people ask is: how to spend summer? It rains every day in Guangzhou! It's hot every day! Many people are complaining about the weather, in fact, seriously, everything depends on man-made, this kind of weather people can survive, succulent can also survive.

First of all, it is necessary to make up for the knowledge of the earth. Most articles say that the soil should be matched according to its own environment and according to the climate. What is the climate of Guangzhou? High temperature and humidity, there is a lot of rain, so the drainage must be strong, how to match the soil with strong drainage? With stone, the rest of the peat soil, nutrient soil, coconut bran. .. This kind of nutrients are necessary for growth, but not too much, because these are too water-conserving, and once they are too much, they will lead to more water. There are also a lot of people ask if the whole grain (all stone), the whole grain can, ah, just grow slowly, the best proportion is between 65% and 80% of the particles. I don't change soil all the year round, save trouble, ! But if you want to cultivate young seedlings and friends with leaf cuttings, reduce the proportion of particles to about 30%, 50% (don't cut leaves in summer, find your own fault).

After talking about the soil, let's talk about rain. when it rains, everyone knows to give succulent plants shelter from the rain, but they don't know the need for ventilation and shelter. Most people take umbrellas when it rains, but they don't like to wear raincoats. Why? Stuffy and ventilated and uncomfortable ah, in fact, if succulent can talk, it will certainly answer you in this way, it also needs ventilation! A great god once said: succulent plants are not afraid of dampness or heat, but they are most afraid of being wet and hot. That's right. Let's have a good understanding. As for how to remove dampness and heat? In fact, you can talk about your feelings. When you are wet and in the sun, what do you do with your hot and wet clothes? Either blow the air or turn on the air conditioning! Succulent plant is the same, so when it is drenched and stuffy, it also needs to be ventilated and air-conditioned if it is extravagant.

After talking about the rain, we said that most of the succulent plants are high-temperature-tolerant plants, which will dormant themselves when they encounter high temperature, which is tantamount to sleeping, so when the temperature is high, do not water, but do not completely cut off the water. It is a bit contradictory to say that we will know the reason for the complete loss of water. The root system will die because it dries up, but when it sleeps, you water it, and it cannot absorb it. So, give less water. For the sharp-nosed spray can, just water it around the edge of the basin, and the watering time should be chosen at night. To really understand summer watering, I suggest you take a look at the article "A few tips for succulent plants to spend the summer with ease" shared by Encyclopedia in 2017-04-21. "prepare in advance" is better than "blind sheep mending"! This article is written in great detail and is very suitable for operation in areas with high temperature and humidity.

As for the daytime, succulent must see the sun, whether in the open air or on the balcony, succulent can not break the sun, except the sun at 12:00 to 2pm, the rest of the time the sun should be given to it (but I believe that there are so many tall buildings in Guangzhou, we are shielded from each other, not necessarily in the sun at this time) everyone will see the sunshine of their own. At this point, I would like to say a word to the extreme beginners: the period of time I said to avoid the sun is when the ultraviolet rays are strongest at noon and when there is no sunshade. Don't get too nervous after a little exposure.

In addition to watering and basking in the sun, the most important thing is to cool down. How to cool down? how do you cool down when you are hot? Either blow the air or turn on the air conditioning! Haha, after all, there is still the wind, so at the beginning I said: save my succulent life, there is only the wind! Ventilation is very important. If there is no natural wind, there will be artificial wind.

Many balcony parties build layers for succulent plants and then set up small fans, and then they still fail to spend the summer. Why? The height of the layer shelf, ventilation is the need for space, the floor height of the shelf should be more than 1 meter, not too dense, and succulent ventilation is not leaf ventilation, but root ventilation, the problem comes again, how to ventilation the root system? First of all, the flowerpot with holes is used to grow succulent plants. In addition to drainage, this hole is ventilated. If the flowing wind can be blown into the hole, it is successful ventilation. As long as there are holes in the bottom of the basin (it is better not to have a single hole in the bottom, the more breathable holes are, the better). Then the place should not be close to the ground and let the wind flow to the bottom. Just like when I was a child without air conditioning, the fan pulled up the clothes and let the fan blow into the clothes. Haha, it was very cool! There are many great gods who grow succulent plants in pots without holes, and raise them just as well. Remember, they are great gods. If you are not a big god, please follow my advice and find porous pots to raise them.

Speaking of which, look at this container of mine. Haha, when the rice cooker is broken, it will be planted directly. It has never been taken care of. The golden perennial grass that grows more and more crazy, but I seldom water it. Later, I learned that this rice cooker was leaking, and then I left it outside in the wind and sun.

All right, let's talk about insect pests here. In summer watering, I watered impure water or tap water. I watered all potions. What medicine? Mancozeb or carbendazim, anyway, must put a little medicine every time it is watered. Sometimes when I see a little flying black, I just sprinkle the powder into the soil. Why is this medicine good? then I suggest you take a look at the "Divine Medicine to prevent succulent foliar infection: mancozeb" released by the encyclopedia in 2017-5-4.

Therefore, people self-review their own meat raising situation, you are comfortable, succulent is comfortable, you can not stand the heat, it is also unbearable hot, you are not comfortable with wet succulent also uncomfortable, the same, because succulent is alive.

As for the ugliness of meat in summer, let it be. If I am hot, I will not care about my appearance, how I feel comfortable, how I can live, or what I say: spring goes and spring comes again.

See, this Gemini is now a big cake again.

Phenba that is so green that it has no image.

As soon as the little blue dress gets hot, it spreads out the body.

Let's take a look at a series of comparison pictures. If you pay attention to the time, you can see when the succulent madness has been going on for a long time.

After seeing so many pictures, I believe you can see some regularity. The growing season of succulent plants in Greater Guangzhou is concentrated from November to March of the following year. Although the time is short, the outbreak is really amazing, and the rebirth depends on this time. So at this time, give it as much water as you can, and give it as much sunshine as you can. All in all, let it fully absorb the nutrients it needs. It will explode.

At the end of the writing, I gave some meat-raising advice to beginners in Guangdong:

First, when it comes to meat, the best time to start raising meat is from November to January of the following year, and the rest of the time is not suitable for beginners, especially through express delivery of bare roots, because it takes time for succulent plants to grow roots in pots, and the growing season in Greater Guangzhou is from November to March of the following year. After March is the season of high temperature and humidity, even if the succulent bare roots are planted, they will take root very slowly. Newbies who can't control their hands will toss about all kinds of things, and in the end, the meat will be tossed to death before it can take the pot.

Second, don't toss about, all plant growth needs to go through a process of taking a basin, which is a period of adaptation. People are not satisfied with soil and water when they come to a strange environment, not to mention that plants are living things, so don't toss about them. just let it slow down. What I'm talking about is don't move its position, don't pull it out to see if it has a long root, don't think it hasn't changed, don't think it hasn't changed, don't look at all kinds of spraying treatments when its leaves become ugly. In the process of serving the basin, first of all, give it a designated environment, do not move it at will; the leaves are not afraid to become ugly; treat the worms in situ; water according to the dry and wet condition of the soil; fertilize and put a few slow-release fertilizers at most.

Third, variety selection, for beginners, try to choose coarse skin and solid varieties, I recommend varieties are: Huang Li, Bo Ye Bluebird, Zile, Qiuli, Ji Yueyue, Baifeng, Red Pink Beauty. These varieties of leather and solid, since the leather is solid, novices do not need all kinds of protection, rough breeding can be raised very well, just give enough sunshine.

These are only my personal experience and suggestions, only for your reference, maybe there are many inadequacies and inadequacies, I will certainly correct what I have the opportunity to let me know, this time I would like to invite you to Heihanha.
