Today, some meat friends asked Elder Tang: Why did the leaves of the succulent fire sacrifice become scorched?
The ultimate state of fire sacrifice
Some meat friends are very disgusted by the succulent of the fire sacrifice, thinking that it is particularly easy to grow, but in fact, as an entry-level succulent, the fire sacrifice is not only super skinny and easy to raise, but also the leaves are as red as the flame after the state, and more importantly, it is easy to color out of the state, which is also the red succulent Tia and the red lotus and so on are completely incomparable. So whether it's a novice friend or a senior meat friend, as long as there is a place to raise a pot of fire, I believe that in autumn and winter it will definitely not disappoint you.

The fire festival will gradually begin to fade every spring, and when the summer high temperature comes, the leaves will almost completely turn green, which is a very normal phenomenon, I don't want to see its appearance become lower and think of elimination, you must know that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will have a new beauty back, and in the winter, it will reach the peak state of beauty again. unbelief? Take a look at my pot of fire in the picture below! Its leaf color is turning red again, and if it hadn't been too hot recently, it would have turned bright red long ago.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > why are the leaves of the autumn fire festival zoomed? </h1>
The most likely reason why the leaves of the autumn fire festival have been scorched is that the maintenance method is not correct, first of all, in the case of lack of water. It is true that the fire sacrifice skin is sun-resistant, but if it is exposed to the sun in the absence of water, the final result must be that its leaves are sunburned, and then slowly shrink from the front end, and the dry parts of the leaves become black and charred.

Don't think that this phenomenon will not occur in autumn, you must know that this year's temperature is extremely abnormal, like I have issued an orange high temperature warning for 3 consecutive days here, if my fire festival is not watered in time a few days ago, their leaves will also be scorched. Many meat friends know that water control in autumn is conducive to making succulents color out of the state, but we can't be too rigid, and we must adjust our maintenance methods at any time according to changes in the weather.
After the fire festival hydrates, it becomes very energetic
Recently, every day of the sun, we can not control the fire sacrifice over-water (as are other succulents), and we must immediately replenish the water after the potting soil is dry. And if the temperature is very high during the day, it will be changed to night watering, although the weather is extreme this autumn, but after all, it will soon be cold dew, morning and evening is still very cool, we poured succulents at night The probability of problems is extremely low, I directly watered my succulents with water pipes a few days ago, they are all good now!

Secondly, the fire festival has not been turned over for too long, and the pot soil has been compacted. I have observed many skinny succulents, such as Qiuli, Ji Yue and First Love, which do not shade or sunburn in the summer when the pot soil is soft. However, if the pot soil is compacted, the spring or autumn temperature is slightly higher, and the stems near the soil surface will be dried up and shrunk. The fire festival is relatively more resistant to sun, but we can try to poke the potting soil with a shovel, and if it is found to be very hard, then it must be turned over immediately, otherwise it is only a leaf scorch now, and it may be directly sunburned by next summer.

Finally, for the fire festival leader, I would like to give you two suggestions: First, try to put it outdoors for four seasons (not in the northern winter), even in the summer, only when it rains for a long time. Don't be afraid of its problems, I often measured the temperature here in the summer above 43 ° C, the fire festival has not been sunburned, and at the same time, under sufficient light, it has not appeared at all.
In the summer, the leaves become longer but not in vain
The second is that we can top the fire sacrifice that has been spent in vain. That is to say, the uppermost end of the fire sacrifice stalk is cut off, and after losing the top growth advantage, it will not only continue to grow, but also a lot of side buds will emerge between the leaf axils, and then quickly reach the state of bursting pots.
