How to maintain meat in summer?
In summer, the high temperature and strong sunlight are easy to burn fleshy leaves, leading to poor growth. In the process of reproduction, only scattered light can be provided for succulents in the morning and afternoon. When the light is too strong at noon, a sunshade net should be built for succulents. For succulents that like shade, they should be placed in a semi-shade place to reduce the light time.
When the weather is sunny and dry, splashing water and blowing air can cool the meat on the open-air terrace; If it is not an open-air terrace, just spray water on the ground and the platform where flowers are planted, plus an electric fan, it can reduce the temperature and not hurt the meat.
The hot summer climate is easy to breed bacteria, leading to powdery mildew, downy mildew and other diseases, affecting the ornamental value. In the process of breeding, it is necessary to spray the succulents with sterilization agents such as carbendazim and chlorothalonil once a week to eliminate germs and make the succulents grow healthily.
Feeding skills of succulent animals
Succulent plants have shallow roots and are suitable for growing in loose, breathable and well-drained fertile soil. The soil is required to be free of germs and pests. When mixing soil, garden soil, sandy soil, perlite, peat soil and coconut bran can be mixed to meet the growth needs of most succulents. Fleshy meat should be raised in soil with good air permeability. With the growth, you can change the pot soil regularly and prune the roots in spring.
When changing pots, you can apply enough base fertilizer to succulents, adhere to the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently in the growth stage, apply thin fertilizer and water, and use special fertilizer for succulents. Summer and winter will enter a dormant period, and growth will stagnate at this stage. At this time, fertilization should be suspended to avoid burning the roots of fertilizer.
