Meat with thick powder, red fingernails, or shrunk into a steamed stuffed bun, is almost the favorite state of many flower friends.

But helplessly, many flower friends always complain that the meat at home is either "Optimus Prime" or "green vegetables".

As I have shared with you before, to be beautiful, meat must meet three conditions: sunshine, temperature difference and proper watering.

Recently, the autumn rain is continuous and the sunshine is insufficient, so it is better to gather up the temperature difference.

What's the weather like in the new week after spending a weekend in the rain?

Wuhan Meteorological Observatory predicts that from 22nd to 28th, Wuhan will be mainly cloudy. In the new week, the temperature in Wuhan shows a trend of "rising first, then falling, then rising". The weather will improve on Monday and Tuesday, and the temperature will pick up quickly. On Tuesday, the highest temperature in central Wuhan will rise to 25 ℃. Since then, due to rain and cold air, the temperature will continue to drop slightly, falling to the "lowest valley" on Friday, the high temperature will fall below 20 ℃ and the low temperature will fall below 10 ℃.

On the weekend, with the help of the sun, the temperature will rise again. Overall, Tuesday will be the warmest day and Friday will be the coldest day.

During this period of time

The temperature difference between day and night can reach more than ten degrees.

It's time to make succulent plants beautiful!

As long as it is properly maintained.

The usual green meat may be in a few days.

Quickly change to fiery red, pink, yellow, etc.

The color changes so much that it is irresistible.

There are many reasons that affect the discoloration of succulent plants, the most important of which are light, temperature, temperature difference, water control and so on.

Among them, the use of light to color succulent plants is the most common and the most effective. After autumn, many succulent plants have been exposed to the sun for a few days and have already come out with beautiful colors.

Temperature difference is another important factor affecting succulent color. When the temperature difference is large in autumn and spring, the succulent plant will be moved outdoors in less than 3 days, and the whole pot of succulent plant will be as red as a monkey's ass.

On the contrary, the succulent plants placed indoors are generally at a relatively constant temperature, and the discoloration is relatively slow, and because the glass and screen windows block most of the ultraviolet rays, the color is very elegant and evergreen.

This is also the main reason why it is easy for indoor parties to turn succulent plants into green.

So

If you want the meat to be beautiful,

Try to let them go outside slowly as much as possible.

Even a small windowsill

For these succulent plants, it's also excellent.

Here are some of the conditions for succulent coloring summarized by the Ostrich God:

01

Low temperature

Keep the meat as low as possible without freezing the meat. The relative safe temperature is above 2 degrees. Weaker varieties are more cautious. Such as Magnolia mandshurica, Miracle of Spring, Ji Qiuli and so on, are all less freeze-resistant varieties.

If there is more meat and it is not convenient to move around, it can be covered with multi-layer film shielding protection when the safe temperature is not guaranteed.

Another effect of low temperature is that meat will be wrapped up, as if people will shrink when they are cold, and succulent plants will also use this way to resist the cold.

02

There is plenty of sunshine

Another indispensable condition to achieve coloring with low temperature is that there must be sufficient sunshine. It is sunny during the day and frozen at night, coloring properly and quickly.

But the so-called sufficient sunshine may be different from what many people understand. Often some people think that I put on the balcony, the sun is also very good, why is it not obvious? In fact, the difference between the balcony and the patio is very big.

Adequate sunshine basically refers to full sunshine, and is 360 degrees unsheltered full sunshine, from the sun to the sky is really full of sunshine.

03

Large temperature difference

This is actually the embodiment of the first and second points. Only with the sun is it possible to achieve the temperature difference in low temperature weather. The temperature difference can be even greater if there is a shed.

In order to color the succulent plant, some netizens directly threw the succulent plant into the refrigerator to widen the temperature difference, but for this practice, it is not very recommended, and a wave of succulent meat may be ruined by accident.

04

Proper watering

The word "appropriate" is really convenient, but it is tiring to explain. In fact, watering is the most complex and important problem in succulent maintenance, which needs to be considered by a variety of factors.

Weather, environment, flowerpot, soil, plant state, conservation purpose, all relevant conditions should be taken into account. So if you want to raise a lot of meat, you can't mechanically follow the condition of water once a few days.

The most direct way is to see how the soil is dry. You can't just look at the surface, sometimes it may look dry, but it's still very wet underneath, and it can also be judged by weighing and so on.

05

Accumulation of state

The perfect shape takes a long time to accumulate, and the big ups and downs of the watering rhythm can easily make the leaves different in length, or once insect pests, frostbite or sunburn leave scars, it takes a very long cycle to metabolize until they recover.

Even if the color, it can be partially continued. If the meat that has been in a state of rapid growth for a long time is usually very green, it will be more difficult for such meat to get out of shape.

But meat that once had obvious colors can often leave a little foundation. Even after the summer, it still retains a little color.

Such meat will be more likely to produce obvious colors in the next coloring season, and even some so-called "candy colors" such as yellow and orange that are not easy to appear.

However, there have been more cloudy and rainy days recently, and many flower lovers worry that this kind of weather will affect the growth and coloring of meat.

06

Suggestions on replenishing light for succulent plants

According to experts, succulent plants like a dry and ventilated environment. Days of overcast and rain will lead to slow coloring and substandard growth of succulent plants. Plant growth lights can be used to shine for seven or eight hours a day. After a few days, the effect is very obvious, not only bright colors, but even flowers. In this way, no matter how long the cloudy and rainy days are, it will not affect the normal growth of plants.

It is important to note that:

Make up the light for succulent plants, the heat will evaporate faster than before, we should pay attention to the watering cycle and ventilation, but also do a good job of insect prevention.

Be careful not to burn your hands or burn them.

Control the distance by yourself and drop slowly.

In addition, some ultraviolet supplementary lights may do some harm to the human body. if no one at home can turn it on during the day, you can also buy a timer and turn it on automatically at the point.
