The long-awaited September has finally come. September maintenance strategy is enough.

The climate in September is characterized by high sky, large temperature difference between day and night, and cool and pleasant temperature, which is the peak season for the growth of most species of succulent plants.

In the tequila family, the wine bottle orchid, benevolent crown, Huishan, auspicious sky, Thor, nail crab; rock peony, Ji peony, the boy of the moon, purple prince, Xintiandi of the cactus family; and the "summer type" succulent plants of Euphorbiaceae, such as Kylin, Euphorbiaceae, Susan Euphorbia, Coral with silver horn, cloth ball, etc., continue to grow.

The lying cattle, spring warblers, 12 stripes and jade dew of the aloe family; the "intermediate" succulent plants such as jade butterflies and purple grapes of the crassulaceae have reached their peak in spring and autumn; and the "winter type" succulent plants have also begun to grow. Its management can be carried out according to different types of plants.

"summer type" succulent plants can be placed on the outside of the balcony flower racks, courtyards, balconies and other outdoor sunny, well-ventilated places for maintenance, that is, commonly known as "wild cultivation".

"intermediate" and "winter type" succulent plants can be placed in semi-shade or bright light without direct sunlight, hot sun exposure and too much shade are disadvantageous to plant growth, because this month autumn is crisp, air permeability is good, visibility is high, in sunny weather, the sun is particularly strong around noon, it is very easy to burn plants.

In particular, jade dew, longevity, Vientiane and some varieties of stone flowers and fleshy cones are more likely to be burned. no matter what type of succulent plants are cultivated indoors or other places with insufficient light for a long time, do not suddenly move to the sun to avoid burning. in order to avoid burns, the light leaves an ugly scar, or even the whole plant dies.

Although various kinds of spring grass are "winter type" succulent plants, they are in the growth stage of new leaves this month. If there is not enough light at this time, the leaves will grow only, the degree of curl will not be high, and they will look like leeks. It is difficult to highlight the characteristics of the varieties, so this kind of plants must be given enough sunlight to make them have a better appearance.

Because the "summer type" and "intermediate" succulent plants are in the growing period, they can be fully watered, especially when the weather is sunny, the soil is easy to dry because of the large evaporation, and it is necessary to replenish water in time.

If the "winter type" succulent plants have begun to grow, they should also pay attention to watering to meet their growth needs. No matter what type of succulent plants they are, they should avoid stagnant water in the basin soil to prevent rotting roots.

Do not water around noon, when the light is strongest and the temperature is high, so as not to cause plant decay due to a sudden change in temperature. for the rosette-shaped species of plants, jade dew, stone flowers, flesh cones, and so on, when watering, avoid water gathering in the center of the leaves, so as not to cause a rotten heart.

The growing "summer type" and "intermediate" succulent plants should be fertilized, and the fertilization time and types of fertilizers vary from variety to breed. The general principle is "light rather than thick". Slow-release granular fertilizer can also be placed on the surface of basin soil or shallowly buried to release nutrients for plant absorption.

The climate changes greatly this month, so you should often listen to the weather forecast and grasp the meteorological information in time.

This month, the "autumn tiger" is often angry, and its raging degree is no less than the high temperature and heat in summer, especially in the south of the Yangtze River. Attention should be paid to ventilation and cooling, and watering should be controlled for non-heat-resistant succulent plants to avoid unnecessary losses.

The autumn rain often lasts for several days, that is, the so-called "continuous autumn rain". This kind of weather will make the soil and air in a state of water saturation for a long time, which is extremely disadvantageous to the growth of succulent plants. Therefore, if you encounter this kind of weather, you should pay attention to rainproof and waterlogging, and put the flowerpot in a place where the rain is out of reach.

The "winter type" and "intermediate" succulent plants can continue to turn the pot this month, and combine with the basin to propagate separately.

For the species with strong fleshy roots, such as Aloe, Vientiane and Yufan, which have strong fleshy roots, the robust and fleshy roots can be broken off and inserted into the culture soil when turning the basin, with the top exposed 0.5 cm to 1 cm, and new buds will grow in about 2 to 3 months.

For most kinds of succulent plants, equal cuttage propagation can be carried out this month (including leaf cutting, stem cutting, etc.). It should be hung for a few days before cutting and wait for the cutting wound to dry to avoid decay.

Sowing and reproduction can continue this month. Attention should be paid to artificial pollination for the succulent plants of the family Amygdaceae, such as stone flowers and succulent flowers, which are in flowering stage, in order to produce seeds with good quality and high emergence rate.
