How to grow succulents in early summer

In May of late spring and early summer, it is very suitable for the growth of succulent plants. The temperature is suitable, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the sunshine time is long. It is the peak season for the growth of succulent plants.

Especially represented by "summer type" succulent plants, many kinds of cacti, such as longwangqiu, Jinlong, meihuajiao and so on, bloom this month.

In spring and autumn, stone lotus, black mage, simple leaf flower and moon, wild geese in setting sun, lying cattle and dinosaurs in aloe family, and longevity of some varieties, etc. in the same period, the "intermediate" succulent plant also flourished.

However, the "winter type" succulent plants, such as stone flower, bulb, chuntaoyu, anzhen of apricot family, xindongni, moonlight, Xuelian, Dongyun of jingtianke family, and parsley, spring grass, broad leaf spring grass of hyacinth family, grow slowly due to the increase of temperature, and even stop growing in the south area with high temperature.

Therefore, the management of succulent plants should be carried out according to different species this month.

The light of planting and management of succulent plants in May:

The "summer type" succulent plants, such as Huishan, jiacrab, Leishen, longwangqiu, Jinhu and so on, of the agave family, and the "middle type" succulent plants, such as brilliant sunshine and fire sacrifice, of the Jingyao family, can be placed outdoors in sunny places for maintenance, which can make the plants strong and beautiful. If the light is insufficient, it is easy to cause the succulent plants to grow in vain, loose plant types, and some succulent plants with beautiful colors, the colors become dim or even disappear. The "middle type" varieties of aloe family, such as Yulu, Winter constellation, Ruihe, etc., can be properly shaded to avoid the strong sunlight burning the leaves and affecting the growth, but it should not be too shaded to avoid the loose plant type caused by lack of light, the leaves are brittle and easy to break; the "winter type" varieties, such as raw stone flower, Vientiane, Yufan, snow lotus, can be placed in the place with bright light and no direct sunlight for maintenance. The plants placed in the room should be well ventilated, so as to prevent the sultry air from steaming the beloved "meat". There is a lot of rain in May. For the meat grown outdoors, long-term rain should be avoided. Otherwise, it is easy to cause rotten roots and even black spot by ponding in the basin soil. It is also necessary to be cautious about sunburn and even black rot caused by strong light after rain.

Watering for planting and management of succulent plants in May:

For the fleshy soil in the growing period, the soil moisture can be maintained. For example, the basin soil is dry and short of water for a long time. Although the plant will not die, the growth level is slow, and even the growth stops, the leaves shrink and have no luster, which seriously affects the viewing. When watering, it is better to pour water through the drain hole under the bottom of the flowerpot, so as to wash out the salt in the soil and prevent it from adhering to the root system and affecting the fleshy growth. At the same time, the basin soil water should be avoided to avoid rotten roots. However, for the "winter type" succulent plants, such as Diyu, Vientiane, Yufan, and Xiongtong, which are going to be dormant, the growth of the plants has not stopped completely, but it is very slow, and the water needed is not much, so it is necessary to properly control the watering and keep the pot soil half dry. Twelve rolls of aloes and some cacti have certain requirements for air humidity. When the climate is high, water is injected into the plants to increase the air humidity, which can make them more colorful. It should be noted that there is a lot of rain in May, and watering can be postponed in rainy and humid weather, so as to avoid excessive water, overcast weather and insufficient light, resulting in excessive flesh.

Fertilization for the planting and management of succulent plants in May:

The growing "summer type" succulent plants can be fertilized according to different varieties; the dormant "winter type" plants should stop fertilizing. Even for the same type of succulent plants, fertilization should be selected according to the variety and individual differences. In a word, the plants with fast growth should be fertilized more, and the plants with slow growth should be fertilized less or not. The fertilizer can be aolva2 slow-release fertilizer or some mature fertilizer with small fertilizer damage.

Disease control in the planting management of succulent plants in May:

This month, the climate is suitable, and pests are also active. We should pay attention to control. It is necessary to improve the ventilation conditions of the succulent cultivation environment to prevent the abnormal yellow spot, black spot, robe spot and other physiological diseases caused by the infection of bacteria. If found, it is necessary to spray bactericide timely to prevent and control, so as not to expand the scope of infection.
in this month, the "summer type" succulent plants can be further changed, and the plants can be divided, cutted, grafted, seeded and propagated. For some flowering succulent plants, artificial pollination can also be used for breeding.
