Aren't you going to learn about the summer management of succulent plants?

Many people ignore the role of temperature difference. Plants need a certain temperature difference to store energy and nutrition. The temperature difference is more important for succulent plants. Because a large proportion of succulent plants carry out active nutrient synthesis at night, this is the famous way of sedum acid metabolism. Through the hot day, the night is the most active time for succulent plants represented by sedum, so there needs to be enough temperature difference to remind these elves of the coming night.

Some people raise succulent plants and move to the office on purpose, so that it is only 20 degrees during the day. At night, people leave, the air conditioners are turned off, and the temperature rises to 30 degrees. You can imagine how tormented this upside-down temperature difference is for succulent plants. Of course, succulent plants can also carry out normal daytime photosynthesis, but the night temperature is not low enough, plants can not store the nutrients produced during the day, but consume more. It is inevitable that plants are getting weaker and weaker. A temperature difference of about 10 degrees is an ideal temperature difference. If it is about 35 degrees during the day and less than 25 degrees at night, it will be of great help to plants.

The drying period refers to the interval between two times of watering and the thorough drying of the basin soil. In the growing season, the drying period is 1 to 2 days, and the dormant season is 3 to 5 days. Why should there be a drying period? Succulent plants have a characteristic. I don't know if you pay attention to it. It is after thoroughly drying, suddenly watering, will instantly burst into growth. No matter from adult plants, or seedlings, or even seeds, there will be such a situation. When thoroughly dried, when the plant feels thirsty, suddenly watered through, the plant root will burst out a large number of new roots, and all with a very thick white hair. For the plant to absorb enough water at the first time.

These are the skills that these desert elves have evolved in the desert for a long time. Because the rainy season in the desert is very short, when a heavy rain comes, it can not react instantly, and the water will steam dry before you wake up. I really have to wash up and go to sleep. This mechanism, in the sowing of stone flowers, has also become an excellent skill. That is to sow seeds in very dry pots. Do not water the seeds immediately after they are sown. But continue to dry for a week or so, and then choose an evening, suddenly water thoroughly, waiting for you, is gratifying and astonishingly consistent germination rate. Between two watering, please leave enough drying period for your succulent babies.

Generally choose the night time, as mentioned above, the plant is more active at night, can cope with the sudden increase in water. On a hot summer day, you may drown if you fall asleep in the swimming pool. When I woke up, it was cool and cool. It's the same with plants, and they sleep more thoroughly during the day. The thermal insulation of the water is much higher than that of the basin soil, so watering during the day can easily cause the basin soil to overheat in the sun and cook the plant directly. With disastrous consequences.

So watering it in the evening is the best. The secret of watering is to water thoroughly. Until that kind of water rattles out from the bottom of the basin. The aim is to bring enough fresh air to the roots. This is very important. The fresh air in the root can help the root breathe, metabolize the weak current, and help the root absorb the nutrient ions in the medium. Fresh air is as critical as water!

Now the media are more mature, there are some ready-made plant materials on the Internet. Here are a few additional points.

If the water is watered on the top and leaked at the bottom, it proves that it is a good medium. If watered, the basin surface will accumulate water, and then slowly infiltrate, that is not good.

If peat is used for quick drying, peat with very thick fibers must be used, with enough gaps left for air to dry faster. The standard of quick drying is that after watering, after one night, it will be wet but not damp, and it will dry out in about 2 days. In short, all the proportions and planting methods need to revolve around the central idea of quick drying. To this end, in addition to the choice of planting materials, we have other ways to make up for it.

For example, a series of ways, such as choosing a pottery basin instead of a plastic basin, using a shallow basin belt instead of a deep basin, or padding more drainage materials at the bottom of the basin, and so on, we need to use our brains more!
