How to raise succulents in summer (methods of raising succulents and matters needing attention)

The succulents in summer are the most difficult to raise, because the temperature in summer is too high, and most varieties of succulents grow slowly and even enter dormancy. At this time, if they encounter high temperature and improper watering, they will die. Today, I will tell you seriously:

How to judge meat dormancy?

Everyone has a different meat state at home. If your meat changes color (turns green), no new buds appear, the leaves droop and unfold, and the leaves close and shrink into a ball, which means that the meat has entered a dormant period.

Besides observing the state of meat, we should also watch the weather every day. If the high temperature is above 32 degrees all the time, the meat quality is basically in dormancy and semi-dormancy, and the growth is relatively slow. At this time, we can't raise it as before, so we should adjust it appropriately.

Whether succulents are dormant is also related to the family environment. Generally speaking, the outdoor environment with cool weather and good air circulation is the safest. As long as it is not particularly hot (above 36 degrees), it is safer not to water at high temperature.

Next, let's talk about how to raise succulents when they are dormant and hot at home:

How to spend the summer with meat

1, forbidden to do

Fertilization, changing pots or pruning succulents are not recommended in summer. Unless there are special reasons, such as serious pests and diseases, you can only change pots and soil to save your life, or you must cut off the water when it is black and rotten. ...

2. Lighting equipment

The weather is too hot, and it is also related to the light. If the exposure time is too long, the meat will wither and rot more easily, but if it lacks light, the meat will be deformed in vain. It is recommended to sunbathe in the morning, 1 1 and shade the sun after 4 o'clock in the evening.

water

Don't water the meat when the temperature is high. If you want to water it, wait until it is cold at night, or when it is not hot the next morning. If it is very hot at night, don't water it for the time being. In short, water it when it's cold.

About the frequency of watering, it also depends on whether your fleshy meat needs water. Generally, it can be watered once every 20-30 days in summer, and the larger pots can be longer. It's cold, and it's ok to soak in a basin. Put the succulent basin into the basin to absorb water for 10-20 minutes, take it out and put it in a ventilated place, or blow it with a small fan at 1-2 meters.

4. The leaves are wrinkled

In fleshy summer, leaves wrinkle, probably because of lack of water or atrophy of roots. You can wait for it to cool before soaking it in the basin for water supply, and see if it can slow down the next day. If it doesn't recover after watering, pull it out and look at the root system, and replant it with loose granular soil and sandy soil.

5. The leaves are dry

During the dormant period of succulents, it is normal for the old leaves under it to dry up. You can only consume yourself at this time. After the dry leaves fall off naturally, pick them up and throw them away. Don't pile it in the basin, and the paving stones on the basin surface can also be removed to improve air permeability.

6, leafy water, black rot

Chemical water means that leaves become transparent. Take it off in time and pay attention to ventilation and sun protection. If the stems are flowing, cut them off or pull them out to check the roots. Black rot refers to the blackening of leaf joints and stems. To cut off, check whether the root system is rotten, cut off the black rotten part after the rotten root, leaving healthy stems and leaves for further cutting and inserting leaves.

7. Pests and diseases

Meat quality is prone to black spot disease and soot disease in summer, that is, there are traces of black spots and bituminous coal on the leaves. This is mycosis. Spray carbendazim or wipe with alcohol and water. Insect pests are mainly scale insects, and a pot of small white medicine is sprinkled every month.

8. It turns green and grows in vain.

For succulents, it's good to live in summer, so don't worry about deformity and white growth. Just trim and behead in autumn, and you can continue to toss as long as you are alive.

Be careful to raise more meat in summer.

If you take it wrong,

Just less sun and more cooling, less water and don't toss.

Hold on for another month.
