What should I pay attention to when maintaining succulents in summer?

Now it has entered summer, not only the temperature is getting higher and higher, but also the sunshine intensity is getting bigger and bigger, which will inevitably bring many difficulties and challenges to planting succulents in summer. Although it is easy to raise succulents in spring and autumn, it can only be realized when the climate and environment are more suitable. So, what do you need to pay attention to in summer? Here are the potted methods I collected for you. Let's have a look!

How much meat should you pay attention to in summer?

Summer is often very hot, and succulents are dormant or semi-dormant in high temperature environment, so summer is not suitable for transplanting succulents. If you transplant succulents in summer, because of the high temperature and hot weather, succulents are easy to dehydrate and die, and even it is difficult to spend the summer, so transplanting pots will face more difficulties and challenges. So summer is generally not suitable for potted succulents.

Moreover, even if the pots are not moved, some details should be paid attention to in the process of conservation and management, otherwise the plants will not be able to spend the summer safely. First of all, it is necessary to create a suitable growth environment for succulents to spend the summer, and then carry out scientific maintenance and management to ensure that they can spend the difficult summer safely and smoothly.

First of all, the environment is well ventilated

Ventilation is very important for the normal growth of succulents and summer, which can not only make the excess water in the basin evaporate quickly and avoid water accumulation, but also avoid stuffy cultivation caused by humid environment and poor ventilation. Humidity is very unfavorable to the growth of succulents, which may breed pests and diseases, and at the same time cause root rot or rotten roots. Therefore, ensuring smooth ventilation is one of the important conditions in meaty summer.

Second, timely scientific shading.

In summer, because the light is too strong, succulents are not resistant to exposure and direct sunlight, so we must do a good job of shading succulents in summer to avoid sunburn. Moreover, if the light is too strong, the temperature in the basin will rise sharply, thus accelerating water transpiration. If the water is not replenished in time, the plant will easily dehydrate and die, and it will also cause wilting and defoliation. Summer can only provide enough scattered light for plants, and if it is necessary to provide sunlight, it is only suitable for morning and evening.

Third, timely control water and temperature.

Succulents are easy to enter dormancy or semi-dormancy in high temperature environment in summer, and their growth stops or becomes very slow. Usually when the temperature is as high as 35? Above C, most succulents will go into dormancy. After entering hibernation, stop water in time to avoid suffocation. But the most important thing is to control the temperature properly and try to control the ambient temperature at 30? It is more beneficial for plants to spend summer safely indoors.

Fourth, resolutely do not fertilize.

Summer itself makes it difficult for succulents to maintain normal growth, and at the same time, it is easy to enter a dormant state when the temperature is high, in which case fertilization cannot be carried out. Fertilization is not only difficult to be absorbed by succulents, but also easy to cause fertilizer damage, thus causing serious damage to plants. Therefore, succulents must not be fertilized in summer.

Fifth, properly spray water to moisturize.

Although it is desirable to keep the soil dry in summer, it is even necessary to stop watering. But sometimes the air is dry in summer, which will bring some tests to the growth of plants. Therefore, when the air is too dry, it is necessary to spray water into the space around plants in time to keep moisture and cool down. As long as the humidity is controlled within a reasonable range, it will often not cause suffocation. However, if you spray water, it is not recommended to spray foliar water directly, but to spray the surrounding space with a humidifier.
