How to raise succulents in winter to survive the winter safely?

In winter, the growth and metabolism of succulents slow down and the demand for water decreases. In order to prevent fading and overgrowth and improve its cold resistance, it is necessary to control watering. When the soil in the basin is not dry or the leaves are not short of water, it is not necessary to water them at will. Even if you water it, you should water it in a sunny morning, and the amount of water at a time should not be too much, so as to avoid water accumulation in the basin overnight, so as not to freeze the soil at night.

How to raise more meat in winter can safely spend the winter ① Adjust the ambient temperature.

The suffering degree of succulents in winter is regional.

In contrast, there is basically no need to worry about frostbite in the warm southern region; Compared with frostbite, wet and cold areas in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are more worried about fading, excessive growth and spreading cakes.

In the northern region, if there is indoor heating, a small number of succulent potted flower friends can temporarily cultivate succulent plants indoors.

Flower friends without heating can also be placed on the closed balcony. Short-term use of fill light can increase the light and also play a small role in heat preservation.

Exposed environment and fleshy flower friends can build small greenhouses or greenhouses. In short, it is the basic principle to adjust the ambient temperature to not less than zero.

② controlling moisture

In winter, the growth and metabolism of succulents slow down and the demand for water decreases. In order to prevent fading and overgrowth and improve its cold resistance, it is necessary to control watering.

When the soil in the basin is not dry or the leaves have no symptoms of water shortage, it is not necessary to water them at will. Even if you water it, you should water it in a sunny morning, and the amount of water at a time should not be too much, so as to avoid water accumulation in the basin overnight, so as to avoid frostbite caused by low root zone temperature caused by soil freezing at night.

③ Increase the illumination.

Although ultraviolet rays are not strong in winter, sufficient illumination is beneficial to prevent succulents from withering and growing white, and it is also beneficial for succulents to fully carry out photosynthesis, accumulate nutrients and reduce their own leaf consumption. So let succulents get more sunshine in winter.

In the wet and cold climate area, if you encounter continuous low temperature and rainy days, you can also consider using the fill light for a short time.

Varieties that are not cold-tolerant can be treated differently and protected with emphasis.

There are many varieties of succulents, and different varieties have different cold tolerance. Most spring and autumn varieties can't stand the long-term low temperature below zero. Summer sowing has the characteristics of dormancy in winter, and its cold tolerance is poor.

Only a few winter-type varieties have strong cold tolerance, and can tolerate the low temperature of about MINUS 3℃ or even lower in a short time, such as Guanyin lotus, Vasong, live chicken, yellow pear, Dongmei, Zizhi lotus and so on.

Secondly, the varieties with thin leaves and some varieties with fluffy leaves have poor cold tolerance, and the leaves are easy to be frostbitten and watered. It is best to keep the overwintering temperature above 5℃.

Finally, some succulents with brocade, decoration and petrochemicals are genetically mutated, and their own resistance is poor, which also needs protection.
