Every year in summer and autumn, there are always high temperatures and rainfall, which causes many gardeners' succulents to suffer from root rot and empty pots. In fact, is mainly caused by high temperature and humidity. So how to raise more succulents during the rainy season? Water or control water? Many flower lovers have made mistakes, no wonder they cannot grow well. How to do it?
When raising succulents during the rainy season, should I water or control the water?
During the rainy season, rainfall occurs every once in a while. Just like where Sister Rong lives in Jinzhou, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, rainfall occurs frequently recently. Many flower lovers say that in this case, because the weather is relatively humid, the succulents will not lack water, so they do not need to be watered. Is this true?
In fact, for the succulents we raise, during the rainy season, we will take measures to avoid rain, otherwise it is easy for water accumulation and root rot. In this case, after the succulent soil dries out, also needs to be watered. If the soil is often dry, some succulents will grow aerial roots . In fact, this is also a signal for help. Some succulents will have their roots dry up and die.
Once there is rainfall, the temperature will drop significantly. In this case, it is very conducive to the growth of succulents, so succulents also need to be replenished with water in time. allows succulents to grow better in the cool season.
When watering succulents during the rainy season, it is also necessary to water the succulents once after the soil is dry, so as not to allow too much water to accumulate in the pot and prevent root rot.
Take measures to avoid rain
During the rainy season, the weather is cooler, which is conducive to the growth of succulents, so it is necessary to replenish water in time to make the succulents grow better.
But in the rainy season, you must move the succulents to a place sheltered from the rain. You must not let the succulents get exposed to rain frequently. In this case, the succulents will easily become leggy and become ugly and green. In severe cases, water accumulation will occur, causing water accumulation and root rot in the succulent , or rotten stems and hearts.
Once your succulents are accidentally exposed to rain, you need to drain the water in the flowerpot promptly to prevent water accumulation and root rot. In severe cases, the succulents should be taken out of the pot and placed in a ventilated and dry place to allow the water to escape quickly and avoid water accumulation and root rot.
Although it is said that it is best not to expose succulents to rain during the rainy season, rainwater is a very good water and is also very beneficial to the growth of succulents. Therefore, we can collect rainwater and use it to water the succulents, which can make the succulent soil looser, more breathable, and more nutritious, allowing the succulents to grow fat and beautiful.
Ventilation must be done during the rainy season.
In the rainy season, the weather is usually stuffy. In this case, when raising succulents, ventilation is required to prevent high temperature and humidity, which may cause diseases and insect pests in the succulents.
Especially for succulents raised indoors, it is necessary to open windows as much as possible during the rainy season in order to allow better air circulation and facilitate the growth of succulents.
Although opening windows for ventilation is the most powerful ventilation measure, it is also the cheapest. However, some flower lovers’ homes are not suitable for opening windows for ventilation, so they can use fans for ventilation. However, it needs to be farther apart and the wind speed is lower to prevent the wind from being too strong and causing the succulent to sway and damage the root system of the succulent.
If the ventilation is not good, you should spray fungicides in time, such as carbendazim or chlorothalonil . As long as you spray it once every 15 days or so, it can play a preventive role. Moreover, you can also spray pesticides on the succulents every 15 to 20 days, which can prevent pests. Because the meat is usually greener and tender during the rainy season, in this case it is easy for cabbage caterpillars to appear.
Bask in the sun in time after sunny days
Although rainfall often occurs in the rainy season, when the weather is sunny, you need to provide succulents with sunlight in time, so that the succulents will not grow too long and the colors will be more vivid.
Give your succulents some sunshine on a sunny day after rain. Do not expose them directly to strong sunlight, because the leaves of succulents that are not exposed to the sun will be very tender. If you move them directly to the sun and expose them to the sun, it is easy to get sunburn and . Therefore, it is necessary to accept sunlight step by step, and then give as much warm sunlight as possible.
When the weather is not too hot, you still need to put the succulents in sufficient sunlight, so that the succulents will become more colorful, especially some succulents that shine brightly with a little sunshine and succulents, such as Ji Longyue, Peach egg , Allen, pudding, orange Monroe, etc. can quickly become brightly colored again.
Conclusion: When raising succulents in the rainy season, should I water or control the water? Many flower lovers make mistakes, no wonder they cannot grow well. In fact, during the rainy season, succulents sheltered from the rain still need to be watered, because the temperature decreases when it rains, which is conducive to the growth of succulents. Moreover, the soil of succulents that often take shelter from rain will become dry, so they also need to be watered. Then provide shelter from rain, good ventilation, and supplementary light when there is sunlight, so that the succulents can grow fat and beautiful.
