Speaking of succulents , the most profound impression left on people is that they are small, exquisite, cute and cute. They do not require much space and can be grown in more than a dozen pots. In fact, there are also "Big Mac" varieties in succulents and . When it comes to huge succulents, the Master series is definitely on the list. It is winter now, and many flower lovers are concerned about how to care for indoor mages. Today I would like to take this opportunity to chat with you.
It is well known that the mage system has two very obvious characteristics. One is that it is more obvious to sleep in summer, and the other is that it is very afraid of the cold. Many mages who have been without water for a long time in summer may have just entered the optimal growth state, and the temperature in winter is relatively low. Even some southern areas may face sudden cooling. Therefore, the most important principle for raising mages in winter is to rest and try not to torment them. Specifically, we can start from the following aspects.
First, keeping the mages warm in winter is the top priority; I don’t know what are the main reasons why everyone raises mages and collects empty pots. I summarized it. The most common problem for mages I have raised is winter, and most of them are related to low temperature, because some mages are too big. They are relatively large, and there is not enough space indoors, so they may be placed in the corridor. Covering them with plastic film or something is basically no big problem. However, if one day they forget to cover them, or someone inadvertently opens the corridor window, then the mage will definitely suffer from frostbite in the next few days. The leaves may fall off in the least, and the poles may turn black and rot in severe cases. Even if the mage is placed on the windowsill indoors, if the window is opened occasionally, the leaves may be frostbitten.
Therefore, in winter, our first purpose is to find a place with a relatively stable temperature for the mage. For the mage, the maintenance temperature in winter should not be lower than 10 degrees, and the minimum should not be lower than 5 degrees, otherwise you will get frostbite if you are not careful.
Secondly, mages who enter indoors should not be in a hurry to water; whether they move indoors from outdoors or have always lived indoors, they must also control the amount of watering in winter. Many flower lovers have found that when outdoors, The mage that was growing well was watered several times after moving indoors, but the mage developed black rotten water. The main reason was poor indoor ventilation, the growth rate of the mage was slowed down, and too much water in the pot soil would cause root problems. Therefore, when watering in winter, wait until the pot soil is completely dry before watering. Be careful that too much water will suffocate the roots.
Then some flower friends said, if I don’t water the mage in winter, is it okay to cut off the water like in summer? The result is of course no good. If you control the water too hard in winter, the mage will be severely depleted. Over time, you will find that the pole begins to dry up, and then the side head cannot be saved. Therefore, water cannot be cut off in winter. When you find that the pot soil is completely dry, there is no problem with watering. The timing of watering should be carried out in the warm afternoon as much as possible.
Finally, try not to fertilize your plants in winter; many gardeners have found that the leaves of their indoor plants have begun to turn green, and they feel obvious signs of growth. They are worried that they are malnourished and want to use some fertilizer on them. In fact, this approach does more harm than good. Because in this season, light and ventilation are not as good as open-air cultivation, fertilization will cause them to grow leggy, and the fading of indoor mage indicates poor lighting conditions, or too much watering. Mage's demand for fertilizer is not very high. It is best for us to supplement fertilizer in spring and autumn, and try not to use fertilizer in winter.
If the Master fades more obviously in winter, then we can consider using a fill light to increase the lighting duration. With 8 to 10 hours of light a day, the Master will be obviously colored in about a week, so that our balcony can also enjoy the colorful Master series in winter.
To sum up, raising a mage in winter requires a quiet attitude, good insulation, good control of the amount of watering, and adequate care. The rest is left to the mage himself.
