The first problem is watering. Succulent plants are prone to water shortage in hot summers. many flower friends begin to replenish water to succulent plants, but such rehydration is the direct cause of succulent deaths. Because the water temperature is relatively high at high temperatures, it is very dangerous for succulent roots to be "boiled" in warm water. So the gods choose to water it in the evening, when the temperature is relatively low and it takes a long time from the sunrise the next day, allowing succulent plants to absorb enough water and give the soil plenty of time to drain. The amount of water for succulent plants in summer has a lot to do with floral utensils. Red pottery, rattan weaving and water moss with strong permeability can be watered in large quantities, even by soaking in pots. On the other hand, the water volatilization rate of ceramic flower ware is very slow, the amount of water should be small, and the watering interval should be lengthened.

Summer is not without sunshine, without sufficient sunshine succulent dormancy will grow in vain. Artificial sunshade is to better adapt to the environment and reduce the destruction of nature. Some varieties can be exposed to the sun, have been exposed to nothing, such as misty moon, son holding lotus flower. Summer is a period of high incidence of diseases and insect pests, lack of ventilation is easy to breed bacteria, black rot is a high incidence period in summer, it is found that immediately cut off the rotten part, the wound is smeared with duojun zero, the rot will be very fast, and there will be no cure after a few days' delay. To water succulent plants, be sure to control the amount of water. If you can't help it, you can water a small amount of water along the basin wall or soak the pot for a short time (controlled at about 10 seconds), that is, let the flowerpot be put in the water and take it out with a little humidity.

Senior flower lovers understand that succulent plants are not "drought-loving", but "drought-tolerant". Although there is only an one-word difference, the meanings of the two are very different. Because succulent plants are native to areas with more drought and less rain for most of the year, "drought tolerance" is a biological mechanism that they have to evolve. Once there is Rain Water, succulent meat will immediately eat and drink enough, stored in the body for a rainy day, thus forming a thick and succulent shape. As a result, the succulent plants in the growing period can be watered boldly. There is nothing wrong with "better dry than wet". It can be said to be an insurance scheme, and it is very safe. Beginners if you can not grasp the amount of water, it is better to pour less safe, beginners can choose this scheme.

The second problem is sunscreen. In summer, the fierce sun harvested a wave of succulent life, and the succulent plant was sunburned in a few days under the strong sunlight. Therefore, it is very important to protect the meat from light in summer. We just need to move the succulent plants away from the original position with sufficient light, and then place them in a place that receives only a little light in the morning and evening, which not only meets the light needs of succulent plants, but also ensures that they are not poisoned by the sun. Summer is more suitable for succulent plants to come into contact with light in the morning and evening, usually at noon when the light is strong and the temperature is the highest, for succulent plants is taboo, it is easy to sunburn, sunburn.

In summer, succulent sun is very fastidious, summer is the dormancy period of many succulent plants, when the plant growth stagnates, the demand for water and nutrients is very little, and the requirement for light is not high. Under normal circumstances, you don't need too much sunshine. In general, it should be noted in summer that summer succulent plants can be properly exposed to light, but most succulent succulent plants should not be exposed to the sun for a long time, put them indoors that do not have access to the sun, or use shade nets to block the light. The reason why succulent meat is easy to die in summer is the high temperature. although wild meat grows outdoors in South Africa, the resistance of wild meat is not comparable to that in greenhouses, and the temperature in Africa is really not as high as that in southern China.

Generally in the summer, although we have taken measures, but succulent plants are still very easy to sunburn. So what should I do if it gets sunburned? If the succulent plant is sunburned, it is usually shown on the leaves, which appear yellowish-brown spots, wilt and even die. When this happens, put the succulent plant in a cool and ventilated place first. Note that sunburned leaves generally do not recover, wait for it to fall off slowly, and then you can grow new leaves. In fact, as long as you pay attention to these two points, you can make your succulent plants spend the summer safely.
