How do succulents spend summer?

It is a common problem to spend a summer with a lot of meat. In fact, it's not that difficult to spend the summer. It is nothing more than talking about personal views on temperature, dew cultivation, sun exposure, insects, scale insects, black rot, medication, ventilation and other issues. I hope I can help you spend this coming summer smoothly.

Sedum species: basically no pressure in the open air in summer. As a representative of rainbow jade, we need to pay attention to the watering time, and it is advisable to water at night to avoid the water on the leaves from being burned by the sun, and black spots and fallen leaves appear.

Winter cloud has strong botany and can resist high-temperature exposure, but its leaves have high water content and are closely related to each other, so this species is most prone to boredom. And the biggest headache is that once rot occurs, it is too late to rot directly from the pole and cut off the head and insert leaves. So it's rainy, dry is better than wet, remember to ventilate!

Brocade is an albino variety, its chlorophyll content is not as good as that of normal plants, and its growth and strength are relatively weak. Therefore, these varieties are generally afraid of heat and sun, and generally need to be protected, and shade should be started appropriately to avoid exposure to the sun at noon, because once they are sunburned, it is basically difficult to recover when they encounter the growth stagnation period in summer, and it will last until they are depressed.

Lycopodium: Extreme high temperatures above 37℃ and 38℃ are of course growth stagnation. In fact, any plant will hibernate when it encounters too high a temperature, reducing consumption. This is a kind of self-protection. If there is temperature difference ventilation in summer, water should be supplied. Need to be reminded that no matter how dry the soil is, don't give water in hot and humid days, and then give a small amount of water after the weather is sultry. See if you are used to soaking the basin along the wall or quickly.

Long grass: it is definitely winter type, dormant in summer, and sleeping relatively dead. Thankfully, most plants of this genus are robust and cheap, and will not die unless they encounter heavy rain. Keep it cool and moist until it recovers in autumn. It should be reminded that this species is the base camp of scale insects, and it needs to be sprayed in time to prevent excessive pests.

Qing Suolong: Love and hate are intertwined. Need to be reminded that there can be no water on the leaves, and the water drops will turn black in the sun, especially some small leaves with compact leaves, such as square towers, which need strict water control. In July, it is necessary to cut off water and shade directly to prevent the bottom leaves from turning black and rotting and eventually hanging up.

Fairy Cup: If you think about her origin, you will know that it is a variety that is afraid of heat. Summer is dry, cool and airy!

Lotus Palm: When sleeping in summer, some leaves will basically fall off, leaving a bare head. As long as the pole is not rotten, new leaves will sprout and grow rapidly in autumn. This genus also belongs to deep sleep in summer, so once it falls asleep, it will be directly cut off from water and will not die.

Walnut: Not many people grow it. It is a strong variety, can tolerate low temperature and reproduce quickly in the growing season. The native varieties of walnut in Xinjiang can withstand high temperature. Small and thin-leaved walnut varieties should pay attention to avoid light, and they will be completely dry in an afternoon!

The rest of the thick-leaved grass, Cyperus alterniflora, Yinbojin, Tianjinzhang, etc. can all be classified as Shenshilian. Kale is not afraid of the sun at all, but it is afraid of freezing. Please enter the house below 0 degrees!

The most prone time of the year is summer, and fleshy meat is prone to various problems in high temperature environment, but these problems are not unsolvable. After all, many varieties of succulents have never seen a high temperature above 30℃, so it is really not easy to keep succulents in a very good state in summer, and it is definitely not so easy to die. Due to the limited climatic conditions in our country, except for the western provinces, most provinces can't reach the level of in-situ sunshine all year round, so we are in the expectation of sunny days most of the time, especially in the provinces that are about to return to the south, and we are looking forward to the stars and the moon.

Because the earth tilts to the sun all the year round, the sunshine intensity in winter and summer is completely different. For example, today is April 2 1, sunny and slightly polluted, so the sunshine is not very strong. The sunshine intensity I measured outdoors at noon is about 18000 lux (illuminance unit), with thick smog in the middle, so it is a very low value for direct sunlight. The highest temperature in summer reaches 26 degrees, and the sunshine intensity measured outdoors is 80 thousand, so the difference of sunshine intensity is very big. Different sunny days and different air cleanliness will also cause different sunshine intensity.

Everyone should be familiar with tomatoes, that is, tomatoes and beautiful stone lotus are fellow villagers, and their hometown is Peru in South America. The difference between tomatoes and meat is that tomatoes grow directly in the sun and are truly full-day plants. However, meat generally grows on the slopes of valleys facing east or north. Therefore, meat that likes sunshine is far less than tomatoes.

When tomatoes reach about 30000 ~ 40000 lux of sunshine, they should be prepared for shading. In the midsummer in China, even strong plants like tomatoes can't resist the sun. Not to mention meat, it is impossible not to hide it, and this does not include Euphorbia and cactus. They are too powerful. Therefore, flower lovers who bask in the sun must set out to build umbrellas, and the balcony should be prepared to hang sunshade nets. Flower lovers who raise meat on the south and west windowsills should prepare heat insulation stickers and the like, and the partners on the east windowsill and balcony will be blessed, because the arrival of summer means that the east windowsill has become the best place to raise meat and enjoy life.

Shading work must be based on the actual light intensity. It is best to hang up the sunshade net and actually test it. Shaded sunshine should make people feel warm and comfortable, just like warm sunshine in winter. There are many specifications of sunshade nets, but more covers are better than enough. After all, the sunshade net was configured for the high temperature of 39℃ that year. Movable sunshade net is the best, so that meat can see the sun in continuous rainy days.

Followed by high temperature, high temperature is a more terrible killer than the scorching sun. But the high temperature mentioned here is not just the temperature. In fact, the temperature of 39℃ is really not a big deal for meat. The transpiration cooling system of meat itself can effectively control the leaf temperature. You can touch it if you don't believe me. Most of the time, the meat leaves are cold. What I am really afraid of is the high temperature of soil and leaf epidermis. The complete drying of soil is the chief culprit of soil temperature rise. Under normal circumstances, soil is also cooled by water evaporation. The temperature of dry soil rises rapidly. At 3~4 pm, the sun shines almost directly on the side of the flowerpot. If the dark flowerpot cannot dissipate heat by evaporation, it will quickly heat up to above 40℃. If the temperature rises to 50℃, the roots will lose their ability to breathe, leading to a vicious circle of life activities.

In summer, even dormant meat can never be without water. But watering is tricky. Do not pour water directly, but pour water along the periphery of the flowerpot. If it is a small flowerpot, such as black, just pour it from a corner and let the water slowly wet in the flowerpot through siphon, and you can create breathable tidal soil. Personally, I don't advocate the method of watering in a pot in summer. It's not that it's not good to soak the pot, but it's very troublesome and skillful. Soak in the basin for a long time, and the bottom will become too wet. As soon as the heat evaporates, the whole flowerpot becomes a steamer, which is particularly prone to black rot.

The flowerpot suitable for soaking pots is relatively large, and the bottom of the flowerpot is covered with a thick bowl bottom stone. For this kind of flowerpot, the amount of water can be controlled so that the water just soaks to the bottom stone of the flowerpot. It is more reliable to water the small flowerpot with a pointed kettle. If the weather is sunny and dry, the high temperature is not a big problem. As long as the water is sprayed on the ground and the platform for planting flowers, the temperature can be reduced by several degrees when the fan blows. Even on the open-air terrace, splashing water and blowing air will definitely cool down. Pay special attention to the weather changes, cut off the water before it rains, the moist air will protect the roots of the meat from damage, and the air will soon return to dryness after the weather clears up. Make sure your soil is properly equipped, and there is enough room for meat to breathe even after watering. In addition, after the sun comes out, it is necessary to ensure that the air humidity is as low as possible, which is convenient for the water vapor in the basin soil to be discharged. The best way is to blow the fan.

It is best to use internal medicine to control pests and diseases. One dose can poison your body for a month. This can effectively control the occurrence of diseases and prevent the outbreak of diseases.

Except for a few advantaged provinces, summer in most areas will not make your meat beautiful. Don't pursue beauty. Life is the most important thing. If there are conditions at home, don't insist on high temperature open cultivation. After all, our indoor temperature is seldom higher than 30℃, which is quite pleasant compared with outdoor. Indoor pests and diseases are also much less. If possible, turning on the air conditioner at night can make the meat enjoy a temperature difference of about 10℃. Then you can not only spend the summer smoothly, but also expect your flesh to be out of shape.
