Fleshy roots always rot in summer, so how to maintain them?

The leaves of succulents are thick and juicy, and there are many varieties. Different varieties have different characteristics. After maintenance, the leaves will grow out and the ornamental value is very high. Nowadays, many friends like to grow succulents, but in summer, there will be many problems. The succulents cultivated by many friends are rotten roots or black rot. When the leaves are watered, the plants will gradually wither. I don't know how to maintain them so that succulents can spend the summer safely. Let me share my maintenance experience with you.

Why are succulents so difficult to raise in summer? The succulents in summer are the most difficult to raise, because the temperature is relatively high at this time, and most succulents are in a dormant state. During dormancy, succulents stop growing, and maintenance at this time is more critical. If it is not well maintained, it will lead to the loss of water in the leaves of succulents during dormancy, or black rot or even rotten roots.

The leaves, stems and roots of succulents store a lot of water, so the maintenance of succulents in summer is not very important. Watering is one of the important reasons, and maintaining the environment is also very important. If it is stuffy and ventilated, it may cause succulents to rot, or if it is not shaded and exposed to strong sunlight, succulents will dry up and wither.

How to maintain succulents in summer and let them spend the summer safely? 1. Shading: In summer, the first thing to do is shading. Although succulents like light, they need good light conditions to grow healthily and vigorously. If the light is insufficient, plants are not only fragile, but also easy to grow in vain. But in summer, when the sun is strong, most leaves of succulents store a lot of water. If exposed to strong sunlight, they are easily sunburned or withered by dry plants. In summer, it is necessary to shade succulents, which can be maintained in a place with scattered light and good ventilation, or build a sunshade net to shade succulents in a good environment.

2. Environment: To maintain succulents in summer, we should not only shade first, but also maintain the environment, that is, the ventilation should be excellent, not high temperature and high humidity ventilation. If there is no ventilation in the environment of high temperature and high humidity, succulents will be prone to black rot or leaf water, which will also cause rotten roots and plants will wither easily. In summer, succulents should be placed in a well-ventilated place to avoid high temperature and humidity, so that they can dissipate heat normally and let succulents spend the summer safely.

3. Watering: Watering succulents in summer is a key step. If the succulents are not well watered in summer, watered a lot, or watered at high temperature, there is no blowing after watering, and the maintenance environment is sultry, which will cause the leaves of succulents to be watered or the roots to rot. When watering succulents in summer, it is usually at night. At this time, the weather is cold, so it is necessary to control the water quantity. You just need to pour water along the edge of the flowerpot to the bottom of the pot. After watering, you need to let it blow for at least 2~3 hours to evaporate excess water and let succulents spend the summer safely.
