At this time, many flower lovers will choose to control their maintenance, hoping to use this method to let the succulents spend the summer smoothly. , then, how can we survive the summer by "controlling the maintenance" of succulents? This has deceived so many novice flower lovers, no wonder they keep collecting empty pots.

What is controlled maintenance?

Let me first explain what controlled maintenance is. A simple understanding is that in this summer, stops watering succulents, or controls the frequency of watering . Through this action, we protect the roots of succulents and avoid root foundation. damaged, affecting the overall growth;

Isn’t this method useless? To a certain extent, it can also help succulents survive the summer, because succulents will stop growing during high temperature periods and cannot absorb much even if watered. Water accumulates in the soil and breeds bacteria, or due to the alternation of cold and heat, the leaves turn into water or turn black;

However, in the process of water control, it is easy to gradually forget the existence of succulents, and even go to the extreme of stopping watering succulents. water, causing the succulent nutrients to be completely depleted, and finally only a bunch of withered yellow leaves are left. Even if the temperature drops in autumn, there is no way to save them and can only throw them away;

lower the temperature

If you want succulents to survive the summer safely, it is best What needs to be done is to lower the surrounding temperature. Since the outdoor temperature is too high, it affects the growth of succulents and causes them to enter a dormant state. Why not just move them to a position? lowers the temperature of the growth environment and tries to keep the succulents active;

The method is very simple. If there are relatively few succulents at home, at this time, you can move them directly from the south balcony to the north balcony, or move them back, or even move them directly to the window sill, etc., where they will not be directly exposed to sunlight. To a certain extent, it can also allow succulents to spend the summer smoothly;

If there are a lot of succulents at home and it is inconvenient to move them, you can put a sunshade net around them. Generally, a three-pin sunshade net will weaken a lot of sunlight and avoid succulents. The big oven like the sun is steaming out. Use these methods to reduce the loss of water in succulents, fully consume the stored nutrients, and the success rate of summer will naturally increase;

increase the humidity

Even if the succulents have been moved indoors to a relatively constant temperature, At this time, it is still not necessary to water the succulents frequently, but in order to allow the succulents to absorb water, you can use humidification to allow the succulent leaves to absorb water. Although the water absorbed is not much, it can also help the succulents survive the summer;

However, when is humidifying, do not spray water directly on the fleshy leaves. The leaves of some varieties have fluff or some white powdery protective substances. Once exposed to water, they will easily turn black and turn into water. Moreover, the water retention time is too short, and the efficiency is relatively low;

I personally recommend finding a large basin, covering it with a granular substrate such as pebbles, and then placing the succulents on it, and then directly filling the big basin with water at night or early in the morning. The water should not be submerged to the bottom of the flower pot. Just put the succulent flower pot too high through the pebbles. There is water at the bottom, and the water will slowly evaporate, which will naturally increase the environmental humidity;

and the water vapor at the bottom will also indirectly induce The roots of the succulents grow downward. If left for a long time, the roots of the succulents will drill out directly through the bottom of the pot. Using this method to moisturize or replenish the succulents is more efficient and will not harm the succulents. , many things in one fell swoop

Cleaning leaves

In summer, succulents will sacrifice part of their leaves to protect themselves. The first thing not to eliminate is the leaves at the base, which is the part of the leaves close to the flowerpot. Therefore, you can see that this circle of leaves slows down. They slowly become wrinkled and yellow, don’t worry, don’t just pull them off, keep them, wait until the nutrients in the leaves are completely consumed, then clean them up to maximize the utilization of nutrients;

Of course, this has been improved before, in summer When raising succulents, you must not ignore them. When you see abnormalities in individual leaves, you must deal with them immediately to avoid worsening of the disease;

① If it is a worm, find it in time. You can use a cotton swab soaked in alcohol, and then wipe it off one by one with a cotton swab , the effect is still good;

② If it is water-melting , directly trim off these water-melting parts to avoid the water-melting parts from continuing to deteriorate and affecting the health of other leaves;

③ If it is black rot, directly use a knife When cutting , you not only need to trim off the blackened parts, but the stems connected to it also need to be treated. If there are black spots, continue pruning until you see healthy mesophylls , and then apply carbendazim solution after cutting. , to avoid deterioration of the situation;

summary: Only by controlling the maintenance of succulents can we spend the summer? Not necessarily. If you also raise succulents at home, when the temperature exceeds 28°C, just find a cool place to place them, and then replenish water through humidification. Check the growth of the succulent leaves regularly, and deal with any lesions in time. It went through the summer without a hitch.
