August is a hotter month of the year. Although the Beginning of Autumn began on August 7th, autumn tigers are still in full swing in the first and middle of August, especially in the south. "muggy and humid" is still the "main theme" of the climate in most parts of our country.

This environment is very disadvantageous to the growth of most succulent plants, so attention should be paid to ventilation and cooling. In the second half of this month, the temperature difference between day and night in the northern region increased, and the climate gradually became cooler.

Therefore, this month, succulent plants also show different characteristics according to the differences in species and habits. "summer type" succulent plants such as tequila, cactus, Euphorbiaceae, Apocynaceae, etc., which grow in summer, continue to grow.

Aloe vera, lying cattle, meteor shower, money-shaped twelve rolls, cherry crystal and other "intermediate" succulent plants growing slowly in spring and autumn. Most species of the genus Lycopodiaceae and the winter-type succulent plants of the genus Lycopodiaceae, South Africa tortoise shell dragon of Dioscorea, Rabdosia pubescens, Rabdosia pubescens, Saussurea involucrata, Dongyun, Qingzhu, etc., have also begun to awaken from summer dormancy in the north.

Most varieties of "summer type" succulent plants can be kept in outdoor ventilation and sunny places, but the seedlings should be kept in places with sufficient light and no direct sunlight, so as to prevent the delicate epidermis from being burned by strong direct sunlight. it can also avoid the overgrowth of plants caused by lack of light.

Other types of succulent plants should be maintained in a well-ventilated semi-shade. No matter which type of succulent plant requires good ventilation, otherwise the hot and humid environment will cause the plant to rot.

This month, the autumn is crisp, the air permeability is good, and the sun is particularly strong. For succulent plants of the family Amygdaceae, such as stone flowers and succulent flowers, as well as succulent plants such as Vientiane, jade fans and jade dew, we must avoid scorching the sun, especially the direct sunlight around noon, so as not to burn the plants, the light ones form ugly scars, and the serious ones lead to plant death.

On the other hand, the newly budding, long-leaf spring grass, broad-leaf spring grass and other leaf curly species should be given sufficient light, and if there are conditions, it is best to put them outside in a sunny place to raise them wild, so as not to make the leaves curly enough due to lack of light. looks like leek leaves, can not highlight the characteristics of the variety, affecting the ornamental effect.

For the "summer type" succulent plants in the growing period, the "summer type" succulent plants can be fully watered in sunny weather to meet the needs of growth, but the basin soil should not accumulate water for a long time, otherwise it will cause rotten roots, and water can be sprayed to some varieties when the air is dry to increase air humidity and refresh leaf color.

If the "intermediate" and "winter" succulent plants show signs of growth, they can be properly watered to help restore growth; if there are no signs of growth and are still dormant, watering should be controlled. The watering time should be avoided at noon, preferably in the morning or evening, in order to facilitate the absorption of plants.

As this month is still the frequent season of heavy rain, hail and other severe convective weather, we should often understand the meteorological information, and timely preventive measures should be taken in case of bad weather to avoid losses.

The succulent plants of "summer type" can be fertilized with different concentrations and ingredients according to different varieties on a sunny morning. Other types of succulent plants should stop fertilizing.

Quyu and other varieties in stone flowers bloom this month, so we should pay attention to timely pollination and sowing. The seeds of last year's flowering plants of the genus Dayuan and Major General have matured, and the pods can be removed and soaked in clean water. The pods will crack when they come into contact with water. You can twist out the fine seeds with your fingers, filter out the water, and set aside after drying.

In the middle and later ten days of this month, the weather in northern China gradually became cooler and the temperature difference between day and night increased. Winter-type succulent plants such as broad-leaf spring grass, South African tortoise shell dragon, tuber longevity, scale celery, Buddha hoop and other winter-type succulent plants began to sprout in summer, and entered a new round of growth. The winter-type succulent plants of the apricot family, such as the genera Caryophyllum and Qiqi jade, also woke up gradually and came out of the dormancy period. The basin and soil can be turned over and changed at this time.

Due to the hot climate in southern China, the time of turning the basin and changing soil should be postponed accordingly, which can be carried out at the beginning of September. Remove rotten and withered roots when turning the basin, dry them for 1 to 2 days or more, and then plant them in the pot.

The seeds of cactus such as Wu Yu Yu and Dou collected in that year can be sown at any time, and raw stone flowers can also be sowed in late August.

Before sowing, the seeds can be treated with potassium permanganate solution to kill fungi and corrode the epidermis of the seeds. after sowing, the seeds can be covered with glass or covered with plastic film, put in a place where there is plenty of sunshine, pour enough water, and do not dry them, so as to facilitate the germination of the seeds. that is, the so-called "three-high method (high temperature, high humidity, potassium permanganate)" sowing.

This month, "summer type" succulent plants such as cactus and tequila can be divided and propagated by cuttings.
