Why are succulent plants not easy to dry up without watering? It has to do with leaves.

Succulent plants, such as those of the genera Evergreen and Sedum, are good at storing water. Succulent plants can easily cope with the dry climate conditions of their native habitat, when other plants cannot withstand the heat. In addition to the fleshy leaves being succulent plants 'natural reservoirs, succulent leaves have several characteristics that help them thrive.

The waxy coating on the leaves creates a barrier to evaporative water loss. Hair on succulent leaves disturbs the movement of surrounding air and helps maintain a moist air layer on nearby foliage. Hair also blocks some light from the leaves. Seemingly small places, but all help meat-rich save water. Many succulents have cylindrical leaves, which reduce the surface area exposed to light and help reduce transpiration.

If not watered for a long time, it may cause the roots to wither, but this time needs to be very long, because the leaves of succulent plants can also provide water to the plants. Watering can dry and then water, with bamboo sticks inserted into the soil, as far as possible a little deeper, pull out to see whether bamboo sticks are wet, if wet do not need to water, dry need to water.

Succulent plants like cool semi-shade environment, the main growth period in spring and autumn, for succulent plants in the "intermediate" varieties. Drought resistance, not cold, avoid high temperature and humidity and sun exposure, afraid of shade, but also afraid of soil water. Growing season watering master "do not dry not water, water is watered thoroughly", avoid ponding, more can not rain, especially can not rain for a long time, these are to avoid rotten roots.

When the air is dry, you can often spray water to the plant and the surrounding environment to increase the air humidity. In the growing season, you can also use the transparent colorless beverage bottle with the upper half cut off to cover the plant for maintenance, so that it can grow in a small environment with humid air. This can make the leaves full, and the transparency of the "window" is also higher. However, in the summer high temperature season, the beverage bottle must be removed, so as not to use scissors to cut the flower scape, so as to avoid residual pedicels remaining between leaves and leaves, which will adversely affect the growth of new leaves in the future.

Do succulent plants need to bask in the sun? Most of the meat in the re-growth season needs to increase the light, especially remind, green jade dew and Buddha beads need to be shaded, that is, scattered light cultivation, not too direct sunlight. Other meat growing seasons require 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day, and other times require bright scattered light.
