Today's sharing: How to care for succulents after the beginning of autumn and detailed explanation of the small experience of autumn succulent care methods, the following for you to introduce in detail
Every succulent enthusiast knows that summer is a dangerous period for caring for succulents. Succulents will hibernate in the hot summer. After the beginning of autumn, it seems that succulents are about to welcome another round of growing season. However, what I need to remind everyone is that caring for succulents in early autumn is not as simple as you think, and it is also very prone to some problems. Flower friends, let's quickly learn about the issues that need to be known for caring for succulents in early autumn. Don't let the succulents that have struggled through the summer die in early autumn.
There are really quite a few key points to caring for succulents at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn
1. Fast-awakening succulents
In fact, everyone knows that succulents need to be exposed to the sun to be in good condition. However, early autumn is not the time to sunbathe as you please, because the sun in early autumn is still very strong and can easily sunburn the succulents. The saying "autumn tiger" is not just a saying, the sun in early autumn is very strong and can easily burn the succulents directly.
How can we tell if our succulents have woken up? Mainly, you can touch the leaves of the succulents. If they are not soft and flabby, and feel full when touched, it means they are almost awake~
2. How to water
If some succulents are still in a state of hibernation, do not water too much. If they have come out of hibernation, you can use the method of immersing the pot to replenish water for the succulents~
3. Seedling stage succulents
Succulents that are still in the seedling stage should not be kept outdoors, because at this time, the root system of the succulents is not very strong and needs to be carefully cared for indoors by the flower friends.
4. New succulents
Remove the soil that comes with it, then re-soil, and create a loose and breathable soil environment. After watering thoroughly, re-plant the succulents.
Do not water the newly planted succulents immediately. First, place them in a shady and well-ventilated environment for maintenance. After about 5-7 days, they can be transferred to normal maintenance.

5. Ensure a good ventilation environment
It is best to place the succulents near the window, as this will provide better ventilation, which is suitable for caring for succulents. You can also use a small fan to blow the succulents.
6. Prevent diseases and pests
The weather in autumn is still somewhat stuffy and humid, and it is easy to breed diseases and pests. Flower friends should immediately remove leaves with signs of disease to prevent the spread to the entire plant.
Apply fertilizer after the autumn cool
Some flower friends think that after entering autumn, should they start fertilizing the succulents. Yes, but it depends on the situation. In some places, the temperature is still very hot after entering autumn, but in some places, it cools down quickly. You should water and fertilize according to where you are.
Some small seedlings and newly purchased succulents have relatively weak root systems and should not be fertilized.
Usually, you can sprinkle a few granules of compound fertilizer on the surface of the succulent soil, which is enough for the growth of the succulents.
When is the best time to repot in autumn?
First of all, look at the temperature
Generally speaking, a temperature between 15-25 degrees Celsius is more suitable for repotting, as the temperature during this period is relatively cool and suitable for succulent growth. Even after the beginning of autumn, many places are still very hot, with temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius, which is not suitable for repotting~
Many flower friends have lamented that after a summer, some succulents have died and others have been injured, and there are more empty pots on the balcony. How are everyone's succulents doing?
