Today, a meat friend asked Elder Tang: Is it easy for succulent moon fairies to spend the summer?
Out of the state of the moon fairy
The moon fairy is a succulent of the genus Sedum in the family Sedum, one of the succulents of the lunar shadow family, whose leaves are hypertrophied, inverted ovate, sharply pointed at the front, with short leaf tips, the leaf surface is flat or slightly concave, sometimes dark lines appear, the back of the leaf is rounded and convex, the leaves are covered with thin white frost, the plant type is standard lotus,the usual leaf color is green or white-green, and the leaf tips and leaf margins will turn red in an environment with sufficient light and large temperature differences, and sometimes they will become frozen.
Moon fairy old pile
The moon fairy is also an older succulent breed, so old that I raised it from the leaf cuttings to the old pile, and then sent people away for more than 2 years. Through a long period of maintenance, I also have a full understanding of the moon fairy, I think it has the following advantages and disadvantages: first of all, the moon fairy maintenance is not difficult, it can be said that it is very good to raise, as long as we follow the normal process of maintenance, usually it will not have any problems, and the summer season and summer have no pressure.

Secondly, moon fairies are particularly prone to group growth, even if we do our own leaf cuttings, leaf cuttings will become multi-headed group growth for about 2-3 years. In addition, the moon fairy is not easy to grow, as long as we usually do not put it in a place where it cannot be basked in the sun for a long time, then it will definitely not grow a long stalk like the red lotus, the moon and the golden star.

In addition, the shortcomings of the moon fairy are also very obvious, as the succulent of the moon shadow system, it is not easy to state itself, and at the same time it is a succulent variety that is beautiful and elegant, if the climate environment and conservation environment are not particularly ideal, then the moon fairy is basically the same state all year round, at most it is only slightly reddened on the edge of the leaf. And it was precisely because I could not stand this shortcoming of the moon fairy that I took the old pile that I had worked so hard to cultivate to give it to others.

If there are meat friends who are accustomed to the succulents of the big red and purple, and now prefer the light and elegant succulent varieties, it is still good to raise a pot of moon fairies, at least in the summer, basically do not have to worry about it to spend the summer safely. So how should the moon fairy be maintained in summer? Let me say it briefly.
Two-headed moon fairy
One. In the case of the maximum temperature in the summer is not higher than 35 ° C, the moon fairy can be raised normally, and even direct rain is no problem at all, but remember to strengthen ventilation after rain, and remove the water in the leaf heart, while not exposing it to the sun, that is, to achieve high humidity and no high temperature.

Two. Once the summer temperature reaches more than 35 ° C, we have to move the moon fairy to the astigmatism for maintenance, if we want to continue to expose, then the noon and afternoon temperatures should be the highest period to shade it, so as to avoid sunburn on its leaves. Of course, the moon fairy that has been exposed for a long time can continue to be exposed to the sun while maintaining the slight moisture of the potting soil, but it is easy to have problems with the moisture.

Three. In the summer high temperature weather, it is recommended not to let the moon fairy continue to rain, and the watering is also changed to the sun after the sunset and then water, and when watering, it is recommended not to directly water through, but a small amount of watering along the edge of the basin 1-2 circles of water, so that the pot soil is slightly damp, that is, under high temperature weather, the pot soil of the moon fairy is not allowed to be in a high humidity state. All in all, as long as we simply pay attention, the moon fairy's smooth summer is not a problem at all.
