By using lighting, the lighting time of succulent plants can be extended to ensure their normal growth.
2. Enhance photosynthesis Light can supplement the lack of natural light, improve the photosynthesis efficiency of succulent plants, help them accumulate nutrients and promote growth.
3. Improve the growth environment In high temperature environments in summer, the use of light can reduce the temperature of the growth environment of succulent plants and reduce sun damage. Methods to illuminate succulent plants in summer 1. Choose the right lighting Summer lighting should choose soft LED lights or fluorescent lights with a spectrum close to natural light to avoid using high-power, high-temperature lights to avoid causing harm to succulent plants.
2. Control the light time for succulent plants in summer is generally 6 - 8 hours per day, which can be adjusted according to actual conditions to avoid long-term light causing plants to grow excessively.

Precautions for lighting succulent plants in summer 1. Avoid excessive lighting. Excessive lighting will cause succulent plants to grow too fast, thin leaves, and reduce resistance. The lighting time should be reasonably controlled to avoid excessive plant growth.
2. Pay attention to temperature control When lighting lights in summer, the indoor temperature should not be too high. The air conditioner or fan can be adjusted appropriately to ensure a suitable growth environment for succulent plants.
3. Regularly observe the growth status of plants. During the lighting period, pay close attention to the growth status of succulent plants. If yellowing of leaves and abnormal growth are found, the lighting plan should be adjusted in time.
Lighting succulent plants in summer is necessary, but attention should be paid to selecting appropriate lighting, controlling lighting time, rationally arranging lighting and paying attention to temperature control. Through scientific and reasonable lighting methods, succulent plants can be helped to spend the hot summer and grow healthily.
