Should Yu Lu be exposed to sunlight?
Introduction to the article: The planting content of the succulent plant Yu Lu, whether or not Yu Lu should be exposed to sunlight, the following editor will provide you with detailed answers.
Many新手 plant enthusiasts want to know if Yu Lu needs to be exposed to sunlight, and some have found that their Yu Lu has turned black after being exposed to the sun. For Yu Lu, it is okay to be exposed to sunlight, but we should pay attention to controlling the amount of light, and not blindly expose it to strong sunlight for a long time!
There are four common lighting situations: the first is direct sunlight, where sunlight directly hits Yu Lu. The second is scattered light, which is bright without direct sunlight, like on a cloudy day. The third is light through glass. The fourth is the dappled sunlight through a sunshade net.
For Yu Lu, it is recommended to expose it to more sunlight, better to have too much than not enough. Because the stretching caused by lack of light is irreversible, while if it gets too large, slightly shading can help it recover.
In spring and winter, direct sunlight and light through glass are suitable, as Yu Lu can tolerate more sunlight and has a higher demand for it during these seasons. In summer, it's best to choose scattered light, because the summer sun is intense and long-lasting, and most of Yu Lu is in a semi-dormant or dormant state, with a low demand for light. If not careful, it can easily get sunburned or die. In autumn, choose dappled (sunshade net) light, as the temperature is not high, but the sunlight is still strong. Autumn can easily lead to a failed summer, but by this time, Yu Lu has basically recovered growth, and the huge temperature difference between day and night allows Yu Lu to enter an important accumulation period. Therefore, less light can lead to stretching, and too much light can cause damage.
Maintaining sufficient light is beneficial for controlling the shape of Yu Lu, but some enthusiasts let Yu Lu stretch appropriately during the seedling stage to create larger plants by increasing the space between leaves. However, this method is not suitable for all enthusiasts, and for beginners, it's more appropriate to provide adequate light.
Yu Lu turns black after being exposed to the sun
Some enthusiasts have found that their Yu Lu has turned black after being exposed to the sun, which is due to overexposure. If the light is too strong and the duration is too long, Yu Lu can get sunburned or choose to go dormant and stop growing due to an inability to tolerate the environment. This usually manifests as dark, wrinkled leaves, a cloudy window surface, and a lack of vitality. At this point, it's best to move Yu Lu to a brighter area without direct sunlight. Generally, mature plants can tolerate more than seedlings, and during the growing season, they can tolerate more than during the dormant period. This is why plants with weak roots or those not yet acclimated are particularly prone to turning black. Therefore, when exposing Yu Lu to the sun, we need to consider our own seedling condition.
The above sharing on whether Yu Lu should be exposed to sunlight, based on seasonal determination, hopes to bring a little help to your life!
