High temperatures cause water to evaporate too quickly, long sunshine, ultraviolet rays damage soil, poor permeability, damage to roots, improper watering, root rot, pests and diseases. With the arrival of summer, the temperature gradually rises. Many flower friends have discovered that the originally vibrant succulent plants have begun to wither and die, which makes people wonder why fleshy plants are so fragile in the hot summer? This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the causes of succulent deaths in summer and help flower friends take good care of these lovely plants in the hot summer. High temperature causes water to evaporate too quickly. High temperature in summer is one of the main causes of the death of succulent plants. Succulent plants originally adapt to arid environments and store a large amount of water in their bodies. However, in a high temperature environment, the evaporation rate of water accelerates, resulting in succulent plants. The water in the body is quickly lost, resulting in wilting and dying. If the sunshine is too long, the ultraviolet radiation is too long in summer, and the ultraviolet radiation is strong. Succulent plants are exposed to the sun for a long time and are easily damaged by ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet rays can cause the leaves of succulent plants to turn yellow, fall off, and even die. Poor soil permeability and damage to roots Under high temperatures in summer, soil temperatures rise and soil permeability deteriorates, which causes breathing difficulties for the roots of succulent plants. Water in the soil evaporates too quickly, and the roots cannot absorb enough water, which in turn leads to the death of succulent plants. Improper watering, root rot Improper watering in summer is also an important reason for the death of succulent plants. Some flower friends still water succulent plants according to the watering frequency of spring in high temperature weather, causing the soil to be too moist, roots to rot, and ultimately leading to the death of succulent plants. Pest and insect pests invade the hot and humid environment in summer, which is easy to breed pests and diseases. Once succulent plants are attacked by pests and diseases, their resistance will decrease and they will easily lead to death.
In order to prevent succulent plants from dying in summer, we can take the following measures: 1. Appropriate shade: During the high temperature periods in summer, provide appropriate shade for succulent plants, reduce light intensity, and reduce ultraviolet damage.
2. Control watering: High temperatures in summer reduce the water demand of succulent plants. The watering frequency should be appropriately reduced to keep the soil slightly moist.
3. Choose soil with good air permeability: Choose soil with good air permeability, which is conducive to root respiration and reduces root rot.
4. Regularly inspect pests and diseases: Regularly inspect succulent plants and treat pests and diseases found in a timely manner to avoid the spread of pests and diseases.
5. Appropriate fertilization: When high temperatures in summer, succulent plants grow slowly, and appropriate fertilization will help them resume growth.
Summer is a critical period for the growth of succulent plants and a period of high incidence of death. Only by understanding the causes of succulent deaths in summer and taking corresponding measures can these lovely plants thrive in the hot summer. I hope this article can provide benefits to the majority of flower friends. Provide help and let succulent plants bloom in summer.
