How to plant succulents in summer
For netizens to elaborate on how to plant succulents in summer and the precautions for planting succulents in summer, here are some tips on flower cultivation:
In summer, the difficulty of raising succulents may be unimaginable for many people, with a very high mortality rate. Moreover, the quality of succulents sold in the market is questionable. If you are not careful, the succulents bought home can rot and die within a month due to the special nature of the summer season, high temperatures, and the succulents not rooting, leading to high mortality.
In general, compared to the other three seasons, the price of succulents in summer is relatively cheaper. A succulent plant can be at least 2 or 3 yuan cheaper. The succulent market itself is not very vibrant nowadays, and with the high temperature of the summer climate, there are few people buying succulents. To earn a meager profit, vendors will sell at a low price.
I actually do not recommend buying succulents in summer. High temperatures make it difficult for the succulents to adapt to the potting soil. High temperatures cause the succulents to enter a semi-dormant state, and the roots basically do not grow. Not growing roots means that the bottom old leaves will be consumed. At the same time, if you accidentally overwater, the roots will rot.
Many people buy a large package of succulents at a low price in summer. After buying them home and repairing the roots, they pot them immediately. Due to impatience and the desire for the succulents to root and grow quickly, they tend to water the soil. If the temperature at home is lower and the ventilation is better, perhaps the succulents can root normally. However, this possibility is slight, and most of them do not root, and watering directly leads to root rot.
How to plant succulents in summer
The succulents planted in the pot will not root just because you water the soil. In a humid environment, succulents can have two outcomes: one is that they can root normally and resume normal growth, and the other is that due to excessive watering, the soil becomes moist and airtight, which can foster a large number of germs that cause root rot and lead to烂根.
For succulents bought home, to ensure their survival rate, I suggest using moist soil for potting. Moist soil is relatively safer and more practical than watering after planting. Before potting the succulents, spray the soil with a spray bottle to make it moist. Just wet the soil evenly, and after spraying, do not use the soil immediately. Place it in natural light to allow the moisture to penetrate evenly into the soil. After about two hours, proceed with planting.
After planting the succulents in slightly moist soil, place them in natural light but not in direct sunlight. Wait for a week until the succulents show obvious signs of adapting to the pot. Then move them to sunlight for care. Since the roots are not fully developed, scattered light, sunlight, and indoor lighting can all allow the succulents to grow well. Remember not to expose them to direct sunlight.
