The growth temperature of succulent is 15~28 degrees Celsius. If it is lower or higher than this temperature, the succulent will enter a dormant state.
The so-called dormancy means that succulent plant is in a state of natural growth stagnation, and will cause fallen leaves, enveloping leaves or death on the ground, which often occurs in the cold winter and summer.
Time passes quickly, October is coming in a blink of an eye, and winter is not far from us (South). The temperature in some northern areas has dropped below 10 degrees Celsius. Raising succulents at low temperatures is extremely challenging for many friends. If you are not careful in maintenance, you will not be able to make succulents safely spend the winter, and becomes "dead of winter". In fact, it is not difficult to raise succulents in winter. You can only do these 4 points of maintenance in advance to ensure that succulents can survive the winter safely. Below, share a few tips.
Sun-proof
Why succulents are prone to danger in winter? The main reason for the drop in temperature. The appropriate temperature for succulents is 15 to 28 degrees Celsius. When it is below 15 degrees Celsius, the plant will no longer grow in order to resist freezing. When it is below 5 degrees Celsius, if no cold-proof maintenance measures are taken, the plant will be damaged by frost, which manifests as leaves melted into water and root rot.
So, if you want succulents to survive the winter safely, the first step is to keep warm. For the north, temperatures began to drop sharply in October, and even cold waves and frosts occurred.

When keeping warm, be sure to ensure that the air is circulating and avoid moisture staying at the roots for too long.
water-controlled
succulents are native to deserts, semi-deserts, high mountains and other areas, which are in a state of drought all year round. Succulents have long-term growth in such an environment and have created drought-resistant growth habits. Even in the growing stage, the demand for moisture is not high, let alone the dormant period. If water control is not maintained before winter, water accumulation and root rot will easily occur.
In addition to preventing cold, it is also necessary to maintain and manage water control so as to ensure the health of the roots of the plant. How to control water in ?

Light
