What are the precautions for planting succulents
Today, the editor will explain the precautions for planting succulents and the correct planting methods, and the editor will provide you with detailed answers below.
Once summer is over, the most challenging season for succulents is almost over, and they will soon start to gradually wake up from their dormant period. Succulents that have survived the summer have already succeeded halfway.
Although it's just the beginning of autumn, the heat hasn't completely dissipated yet. I believe that most southern regions are still in a relatively high-temperature state. In fact, you should also be cautious when raising succulents in early autumn; it's not enough to simply resume the daily maintenance methods.
Now, there are 4 key points to note when raising succulents to prevent them from dying in autumn after barely surviving the summer!
1. Don't rush to provide full-day sunlight care
Autumn is fierce, and both temperature and sunlight still retain the remnants of the end of summer. Although autumn has arrived according to the 24 solar terms, you shouldn't rush to move all the succulents outdoors or onto the balcony.
Even though the daylight hours are starting to shorten here, the sky is still quite bright at around 6 PM. If you provide full-day sunlight care for succulents now, the daylight hours are still too long. Moreover, the midday sun is still strong, and if you don't provide shade, it would be a pity if the succulents die in early autumn.
What are the precautions for planting succulents
When raising succulents now, you still need to control the daylight hours to about 6-8 hours. Friends who have time at noon can move the succulents into a cool room, and care for them in a semi-shaded environment. Friends who are at work and have no time to look after them can set up a succulent sunshade net for shading.
2. Don't rush to water them
Succulents cannot be watered in the summer mainly because the temperature is too high. After the rain, the air is humid, and it's extremely hot. If the potting soil accumulates water, it could easily lead to root rot.
It is said that "one autumn rain brings one cold," and the past few days have been a time of widespread rainfall across the country. For friends who care for succulents, do not rush to move the succulents outdoors to be watered. Continuous rainy days do not allow the accumulated water in the potting soil to evaporate, which is not suitable for succulents to survive.
