How to raise succulent plants of Sedum family in summer? With good soil, it can grow even in hot weather.

Most crassulaceae plants grow faster in spring, autumn and winter, except for several summer type species that are very obvious in spring and autumn, and do not show particularly fast growth rate after the summer temperature is too high, and the main task of summer is to spend it safely. Then the soil allocation should take into account the characteristics of the weather in the south, and the air and water permeability of the soil should be strengthened if the humidity is especially high.

Generally choose granular soil, the more common granular soil on the market are red jade soil, heliolite, deer marsh soil, perlite, pumice orchid and so on, reducing the proportion of peat vermiculite, of course, the spring growth period can ensure the collocation of peat compound fertilizer, when preparing for summer, it can be changed into the ratio of granular soil medium, and the completion date of soil replacement can refer to the suggested time, and it is also the time to ensure seedling retardation.

For the maintenance of succulent plants, there should be a ventilated environment, which cannot be kept indoors all the time, nor is it recommended to be placed in an air-conditioned room. In a hot and humid environment, the air is not circulating, which is not conducive to the evaporation of water, and it is difficult to reduce the temperature. It is also easy to cause root rot.

For shading, ventilation and water control, try to put plants in a well-ventilated place, do not put them in a closed space, ensure fresh air circulation, shade can be used for shading, 75% shading net can be used at the beginning of summer and end of summer, and 50% shading rate can be used when the sun is particularly strong.

Succulent plants are divided into summer type and winter type, winter type for summer dormancy and winter growth, so summer to shade, summer type can not be exposed to the hot high temperature, about 2-3 hours a day, can be put outdoors, but to pull up the sunscreen. It is not recommended to water in the morning and noon, or when the basin soil is at a high temperature, be careful not to have too much temperature difference when watering. In addition, it should be noted that the summer watering should not be drenched thoroughly, and do not let the plant leaves or flower heart growth point remain water droplets.

Attention should be paid to the management of old stakes of succulent plants. The root system of the old pile stem is seriously Lignified, and the dry old leaves are prone to rot and breeding pathogens. The dry old leaves should be removed in time to ensure the cleanliness of the basin soil. Direct purchase of old piles is not recommended to plant directly without root pruning, often old roots contain a large number of capillaries, mixed with a large number of soil impurities, bacteria, etc., easy to rot in high temperature environment lead to black rot of old piles.
