Anyone who knows anything about succulents knows that summer is not the best time to farm them.
Although it is cheaper to buy succulents in the summer, in order to prevent large-scale casualties after starting to start, resulting in more losses, ordinary ordinary people generally do not go into the pit to plant.
However, in the face of succulents that have been cultivated in the pit, we must be more and more careful, according to the level of heat tolerance of succulents to properly adjust the position of breeding them, and will try to create a cooler and more suitable environment to ensure that they can safely spend the summer.
Some succulents, although not sun-resistant, can still thrive healthy in the hot summer, but this state of growth is not expected.
The reason why it is not expected by people is that the plant has been on the list of "disciples", and if you are not careful, you will become a dog, which is even more ugly!
In the process of family potting, it is not a problem for them to spend the summer safely, but preventing the growth of the disciples is the top priority of people's summer maintenance!
The first, Guanyin Lotus
This is a sedum that grows for many years.
Aliases Immortal Herb, Guanyin Sitting Lotus, Buddha Seat Lotus!
The process of home potting requires good drainage and air permeability of the soil, which contains 1/3 of the sand or briquette slag.
At the same time, at a temperature of 20 to 30 ° C, because the plant enters the peak growing season, at this time, when watering once every 3-5 days, keep the soil moist and the environment well ventilated.
In addition, the summer light time is longer, and is not conducive to the growth of symmetrical and beautiful flower heads about the Guanyin lotus, at this moment in the given it 4 to 6 hours of daylight per day at the same time, but also need to adjust the angle of the stem and leaf to see the light at intervals of 3 to 4 days, and only let the stem and leaf exposed to scattered light.
In addition, the hot summer is not the best stage of fertilization, if the temperature of the Guanyin lotus can not be stabilized below 28 ° C for a long time, do not add any form of fertilizer, including dilute concentration of water-soluble fertilizer.
Only the use of simple tap water irrigation can ensure the survival of the Guanyin lotus foundation.
"From the two aspects of moisture and nutrients, we can effectively control the occurrence of the summer Guanyin lotus disciple."
The second is the fire sacrifice
Like the Guanyin lotus, it is also a succulent of the sedum family that grows for many years.
What's even more special is that the leaves of the fire festival can evolve into a brilliant candy color in a suitable light and temperature environment, which has a higher ornamental value and brings people a more distinctive visual enjoyment effect!
Fire festivals like a well-lit environment, and in the process of daily breeding, it is often necessary to give 6 to 8 hours of luster every day, so that the leaves can change from the common green to the bright red color.
In addition, the temperature of 15 ~ 26 ° C time is most conducive to the growth of the fire festival, at this time generally about 10 days watering once can be.
If indoor and outdoor ventilation is usually good, can greatly accelerate the consumption of water in the soil, then it is necessary to shorten the interval between watering, but must adhere to the "dry and water" rule.
Naturally, the most critical factor that triggers the growth of the leaves of the fire sacrifice in the summer is the fire festival during the growth period, which does not require too much water and nutrients, so if you want to avoid its longer and uglier, you should learn to "self-control", control water and fertilizer.
The third, Tia
The succulent Pustia, which has a high value, focuses on summer breeding to prevent the growth of the apprentice.
The hot climate does not hinder Tia's growth, and can even further help its leaves to color out of their state and become more beautiful.
However, flower farmers who lack cognition blindly water and fertilize blindly after seeing their rapid growth, which often causes the leaves to grow longer and fatter and drier, which is extremely ugly!
Breed succulents in summer, and place Tia potted plants on indoor window sills or balconies with loose light, avoiding direct light;
At the same time, the window is often opened for ventilation during the day, especially when the temperature is higher than 35 degrees, the use of fans to drive air circulation, accelerate the loss of heat or open the window, etc., can easily resolve the survival crisis with the help of the simplest method.
As a succulent of the Sedum family, Tia's demand for water and nutrients is not high, and the leaves will sag slightly when water is scarce, but watering more will hurt its roots.
Therefore, in the summer months of June and July, nutrients can be stopped and water needs to be replenished when the leaves are dehydrated.
In this way, the succulent tia that is "controlled" will not have "appearance anxiety".
Summary: The above 3 succulents are more common and are the top of the list of "disciples" every summer.
But in addition to these plants, many succulent summer potted farming of sedum families actually have concerns in this regard.
