October has a cool and pleasant climate and a large temperature difference between day and night, which is a good season for the growth of succulent plants.

The green ring, strange jade, golden bell, major general and emperor jade of the family Amygdaceae; the snow lotus, Qingzhu, Dongyun and mountain roses of the crassulaceae; and the "winter type" succulent plants of the hyacinth family, such as celery and Buddha's hoop. The "intermediate" succulent plants of crassulaceae, such as stone lotus, black mage and golden flower moon, are all growing vigorously. Most of the genera of Amygdalaceae, such as Caryophyllum, Carpinus, honeysuckle and so on, are in full bloom.

However, the growth of "summer type" succulent plants such as tequila, cactus, Apocynaceae and Euphorbiaceae gradually slowed down and basically stopped at the end of October.

In addition, there are great differences in climate between the south and the north this month, so the management of succulent plants should not only pay attention to different types, but also according to different climate characteristics.

Because the succulent plants of "winter type" and "intermediate type" are in a prosperous period, they can be fully watered to meet the growth needs, but the soil can not accumulate water so as not to cause root rot. "moist without water" is the best choice.

For aloe family Yulu, Vientiane, jade fan, longevity and other succulent plants that like to have a certain air humidity can also be maintained in a transparent glass fish tank, or the top of a transparent beverage bottle can be removed to cover the plants. in order to create a moist but not sultry, better air circulation of the local small environment, whether fish tanks or beverage bottles should be colorless and transparent to increase light transmittance In recent years, the small glass greenhouse, which is popular among some enthusiasts, is more effective.

"summer type" succulent plants should be watered to enrich the plants, which is conducive to overwintering. In case of continuous overcast and rain, no matter which type of succulent plants should be watered less, the flowers put outdoors should pay attention to drainage and waterlogging.

For the Vientiane and longevity of crassulaceae, such as Jiwa lotus, lotus palm, jade dish and aloe family, and the rosette-shaped plants of agave family, such as Huishan, nail crab, auspicious day, auspicious crown, etc., it is necessary to prevent water from remaining near the central growing point of the plant, so as not to cause heartache, and even the whole plant will rot when it is serious.

The "intermediate" succulent plants of crassulaceae, such as golden flower moon, sunset geese, tube leaf flower moon, firethorn and so on, are in the growing period, and they can be fertilized according to different varieties, although they are also growing, but the requirements for nutrients are not high, and the nutrients in the soil can meet the needs of growth, so there is no need to apply fertilizer.

This month, the sunshine time is getting shorter, but there is no need to cover the sun, so that succulent plants can grow in full light in order to receive more sunlight, because the plants growing in a sunny environment are compact, the leaves are fat and plump, and the color of the leaves is more beautiful. at the same time, sufficient sunlight can also make plants more substantial and healthy, which is conducive to overwintering, while many kinds of succulent plants must have enough sunlight to blossom. Such as Portulacaceae Chun Jin, Amygdalaceae stone flowers, Ayanayao jade, and a variety of cactus plants have this habit.

The succulent plants of "winter type" and "intermediate type" can also turn the basin and change the soil this month, divide the seedlings and carry out propagation work such as plant division, cutting (including leaf cutting, root cutting, stem cutting) and so on. Sowing and breeding can also be carried out if the heating facilities are perfect in winter.

Plants in the flowering stage should be artificially pollinated in time, and the time of flowering varies according to different species, such as stone flowers, golden bell and emperor jade in the apricot family. Major generals, medals, sacred gardens and other species in meat cones bloom when the weather is clear and sunny, that is, "diurnal blooming".

On the other hand, Anzhen, Xingqin and Aduofu of the genus Amygdaceae belong to the "night blooming" type, which usually blooms at night, so we must grasp the opportunity when pollinating and select those healthy and substantial plants that can highlight the characteristics of this species to pollinate each other, so as to produce seeds of good quality and high seedling emergence rate.

This month's climate is suitable, and it is a good time to introduce "winter type" and "intermediate" succulent plants. No matter they are purchased in the flower market, online or in the greenhouse, newly purchased plants must be checked for pests. For stone flowers and fleshy cones of the family Amygdaceae, check for root pink scale, if so, not only remove the adults, but also clean up the eggs, and trim the roots. It is best to treat the roots with drugs that kill scale insects, so as to completely eliminate the pests and avoid infecting other plants.

For aloe vera, crassulaceae and other kinds of succulent plants, check for scale insects or other pests, and if so, be sure to clean them up so as not to spread. And pay attention to check whether there are rotten leaves, roots, stems, if any, the decaying part should be removed, the wound should be smeared with carbendazim or other fungicides, according to the situation, leave it for 3 to 10 days or more, and then plant it in the pot.

In addition, it is also necessary to prepare thermal insulation and cold protection facilities in winter to prevent cold snap attacks. If there is a cold snap in the north, the flowers should be moved indoors in time to prevent frost damage. If the temperature is suitable, it should be cultured in a place with sufficient outdoor light as far as possible to improve its cold resistance.
