What do you need to pay attention to in order to grow well if you want to raise succulent plants on the balcony?

First of all, succulent plants are not the longer the better. More than four hours of light a day can fully satisfy the normal growth of succulent plants. Excessive exposure may cause sunburn. Not long ago, I reminded flower friends to pay attention to the problem of succulent sun protection in summer. If it is round-the-clock sun, be sure to use the sunshade net, because some flowerpots themselves absorb heat, succulent in the small flowerpot, the root may be overheated to death. And the southeast sun, mainly absorbed the softer ultraviolet radiation in the morning, that is to avoid the lack of light, but also avoid the scorching heat of the afternoon.

The watering of succulent plants, as I have always said before, has not been discussed in detail for three years, because everyone's conservation environment is different, the north-south region and climate are different, and watering cannot be generalized. In addition, watering should be combined with the type of pots. For example, pottery pots and earthen pots are generally used in the south, which can be watered in a week, while in the north, pottery pots may have to be watered in 2 or 3 days, because the air is too dry, so pottery pots are not recommended in the north, and they dry too quickly. You can use some glazed pottery pots or porcelain pots and plastic pots.

For example, the southeast facing balcony is very good for succulent plants in the spring and autumn season, the sunshine is sufficient and the ventilated environment is very important. In these two seasons, fresh water fertilizer (loose, breathable and permeable soil) can be applied for succulent soil, preferably organic fertilizer, such as home cooking water for rice washing, fermenting rice water in a bottle in advance, and watering succulent soil with water so that the soil is not easy to agglomerate. Water it dry and thoroughly, just keep the basin soil moist. Succulent plants don't like soil that is too wet.

In summer, succulent plants should keep a certain distance from the windowsill glass to prevent high-intensity ultraviolet rays from penetrating the glass and burning the leaves. Summer sun is spicy, southeast balcony, direct sunlight for a long time, not suitable for succulent dormancy, to appropriate shade. Watering less water in the morning or at night, hot succulent dormancy uses less water. In this season, keep in mind that succulent plants should be ventilated. Succulent plants in muggy environments are prone to black rot. Pot soil should not be too wet and succulent roots should be watered too much.

Do not leave water droplets on the leaves. If there are water droplets in the leaves or growing points, use a paper towel to absorb or blow dry. Because after the sunlight irradiates, the water droplet has the focusing effect, can burn succulent, leave the ugly scar. If you choose to water in the morning, steam will form a sauna effect in the flowerpot after exposure, the roots will be cooked, and you will see the water and succulent plants in the evening. Sometimes it's the same as when the sun comes out to melt the water directly after the succulent plants are exposed to rain.

Succulent plants have a ventilated conservation environment, which is actually more important than the problem of light. Especially in summer, if it is in the balcony, you can use a head-shaking fan, which is the practice of high temperature at noon in summer, which only plays a cooling role and should not be used every day, because the air is not ventilated sometimes, and the temperature is very high. Succulent plants are fine.
