With the arrival of summer, temperatures gradually rise, and succulents enter their peak growing season. However, the hot and humid climate also poses challenges for their growth. As an experienced succulent caretaker, I'm here to share some summer care tips for Sedum adolphi to help them thrive during the hot months.

Adjust Light

Summer sunlight is intense and direct exposure can easily sunburn the leaves of succulents. Place Sedum adolphi in a location with plenty of indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight. When growing indoors, you can place them near a window, but ensure they are not in direct sun.

Control Watering

High temperatures in summer cause succulents to lose water quickly, making them prone to root rot. Control the amount of water, keeping the soil slightly moist. It's best to water in the morning or evening, avoiding the high noon heat. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent water from stagnating.

Improve Ventilation

The hot and humid summer climate can easily lead to pests and diseases. Improving ventilation and maintaining air circulation can effectively reduce the risk of disease. You can place Sedum adolphi outdoors in a well-ventilated area or use a fan to assist with airflow.

Pruning

Summer is a period of vigorous growth for Sedum adolphi. Proper pruning can promote growth and also prevent pests and diseases. When pruning, be sure to remove diseased or weak branches and yellowed leaves, keeping the healthy ones. After pruning, you can disinfect the wounds with a diluted solution of carbendazim.

Pay Attention to Temperature Difference

There is a large temperature difference between day and night in summer, and succulents are sensitive to this. When the temperature drops at night, pay attention to providing insulation for Sedum adolphi, such as covering them with cotton cloth or foam board. Avoid placing them where they will be directly in the path of an air conditioner, as the alternating hot and cold air can affect their growth.

Supplement Nutrients

Summer is a critical period for the growth of Sedum adolphi, and supplementing with nutrients can promote growth. You can choose a compound fertilizer containing elements like potassium and phosphorus, applying it once every 15 days. When fertilizing, be careful to avoid the fertilizer touching the leaves to prevent leaf burn.

These are the summer care tips for Sedum adolphi. As long as you master the correct care methods, I believe your Sedum adolphi will thrive during the summer and become a beautiful addition to your home. I hope this article is helpful to you. Wishing you success in your plant care!
