With the increasing pursuit of home aesthetics, succulent plants have become the new favorites of many plant enthusiasts due to their unique shapes and easy maintenance characteristics. In the hot summer, how to provide proper shading for succulent plants has become a key issue in the maintenance process. This article will give you a detailed analysis of the shading techniques for succulent plants, helping your succulents grow healthily.
Succulent plants are native to arid and semi-arid regions, requiring higher light but also having some resistance to strong direct sunlight. In the hot summer, proper shading can prevent succulent plants from suffering leaf sunburn, wilting, or even death due to high temperatures and direct sunlight. Mastering the shading techniques for succulents is crucial.
Shading methods1. Physical shading
(1) Using sunshade nets: During high-temperature periods in summer, sunshade nets can be used to cover the succulents, effectively blocking direct sunlight and reducing light intensity.
(2) Building a sunshade shed: When planting succulents outdoors, a sunshade shed can be built to provide a cool environment for them.
(3) Choosing a shaded location: When caring for succulents indoors, the plants should be placed in semi-shady areas such as a windowsill or balcony.
2. Biological shading
(1) Planting auxiliary plants: Tall plants such as shrubs and trees can be planted around the succulents to provide shade.
(2) Using shade plants: Some shade plants, such as epipremnum aureum and hanging orchids, can be planted under the succulents to provide shade.
Precautions for shading1. Shading time: During the high-temperature periods of summer, the shading time is generally from 10 am to 4 pm.
2. Shading degree: The degree of shading should be adjusted according to the type and growth stage of the succulent plants, with 30%-50% being appropriate.
3. Ventilation: While shading, attention should be paid to maintaining good ventilation conditions to prevent diseases caused by poor ventilation in succulent plants.
Shading succulent plants is an important part of the maintenance process in summer. By using the above techniques, you can effectively provide shade for your succulents and ensure their healthy growth. In the maintenance process, you also need to pay attention to the water, soil, and other maintenance points of succulent plants to make them grow robustly.
