Hello everyone, I am Elder Tang, recently a meat friend asked: What is the name of succulent sugar? Is it Nicole Sana? Is it good for summer? How should I maintain it in summer?
Sugar small old pile
What is sugar called? Is it Nicole Sana?
Succulent sugar, also known as honey, is a succulent plant of the genus Sedum in the family Sedumaceae, because its leaf surface is densely covered with white hairs, as if sprinkled with a layer of white sugar, and it has a scrubbing feeling to the touch, so it is named granulated sugar. Sugar grows fast, easy to branch, but also easy to grow old pile, its leaves are very hypertrophied, leaf shape is short spoon-shaped, the front is slightly convex, the leaf back is round, the apex is sharp or gradually pointed, the whole plant does not have white frost, the usual leaf color is green, in winter in the case of sufficient light, the leaves will appear blood spots, and slightly permeable.
Small pots of controlled granulated sugar
Sugar looks a bit like Nicole Shana, and their leaves have a matte feeling, but if both varieties have been raised, they know that they have at least 3 differences, one is that although sugar is also a small variety, the lack of light in the maintenance process will also appear long, but it is far less exaggerated than Nicole Shana, it will grow in the sun in the case of a low proportion of soil particles, so meat friends call it "disciple god".

Second, sugar's leaves are narrow and thick, and the leaf shape is quite similar to that of a puff pastry duck with hair, while Nicole Shana's leaves are relatively thinner and wider, and the leaf tip is mostly in the shape of a brace. Third, when the sugar comes out of the state, the leaves will become jelly-colored, and as for Nicole Shana, the leaves will become pale pink when it comes out of the state, and it is still very good to distinguish them together anyway.
The leaves of granulated sugar are very thick
Is granulated sugar good for summer? How should I maintain it in summer?
Sugar can be regarded as a succulent with a good skin, as long as we use high-grain soil to plant it (in addition to the seedlings, it is recommended that the proportion of particles is not less than 70%), and usually less watering and ensure sufficient light, then the sugar in the autumn, winter and spring is basically not much to worry about. And summer sugar is not difficult to raise, as long as we do the following points it can easily spend the summer:
Sugar old pile
One. Sunscreen. Sugar this leaf without white frost succulent is relatively good to color out of the state, but without the protection of white frost in the summer it is not so resistant to sun, so in the case of high temperatures we must reduce the light time, such as before 10 am and after 5 pm to let it receive direct sunlight, other times are placed in the semi-shade maintenance, so that there is no need to worry about it sunburn.
Granulated sugar is not particularly sun-resistant
Two. The Chief of The Edgenders. Sugar summer has no obvious dormancy period, so we must prevent it from appearing long while protecting against sunburn, that is, we cannot shade from morning to night, or always put the sun in direct places, otherwise sugar will grow, and then the stem will be raised and the leaves will be sparse, which will seriously affect its ornamentality.
Excessive shade in the summer sugar will be long
Three. Anti-corrosion. Generally speaking, sugar in the summer is not very prone to black rot, unless the proportion of soil particles is less than 50%, and the maintenance environment is not good and likes to water, that is not only sugar, any succulent is easy to black rot, so in the summer we must put it in a well-ventilated place for maintenance, and control the water, after the pot soil is dried through, pour a small amount of 1-2 circles of water along the edge of the pot (high particles, good ventilation and long-term exposed sugar can be watered along the edge of the pot).
In summer, water control and enhanced ventilation granulated sugar will not rot black
Four. Anti-long worms. As a succulent, sugar is naturally susceptible to the larvae of mesozoans and grey butterflies, so we must take insect control measures before entering the summer, such as putting some systemic insecticides in advance. If you do not like to put the medicine in advance, then you must prepare some insecticides with a touch killing effect, such as imidacloprid, tick and chlorpyrifos, etc., so that when the sugar worm is found, it can be dealt with in time.
Sugar also grows shell worms
