Going out for fun during the May Day holiday, will the succulents kept outdoors at home get sunburned?

The May Day short holiday is here, and many succulent lovers choose to go out and travel at this time. During this period, temperatures in many places are not very high, and most succulent lovers choose to move their succulents outside to grow in the open, but some succulent lovers in southern regions are a little worried.

In some southern regions, the temperature around May Day is about 30 degrees. Although it is not as high as in summer, the midday sun is already very strong. If the succulents are not shaded at this time, will they get sunburned? If you want to shade them, you have to keep the shade on for several days in a row, and without light the succulents will lose their color, which makes succulent lovers very conflicted.

Recently many succulent lovers have had this question. If succulents have been grown outdoors for a long time, the sunlight intensity increases slowly, and the succulents have already adapted. As long as the temperature is not higher than 35 degrees, the succulents basically will not get sunburned. But some expensive varieties and delicate succulents are best placed in places with weak light.

These succulents may get sunburned when the temperature is above 30 degrees, so it is best not to grow them outdoors in the open. When the weather changes, they are prone to getting sick, especially when you are away from home for a long time. As for common succulents that have been grown for many years, their resistance is very strong, so there is no need to worry about this problem.

Also, succulents that have just settled into their pots and have not been grown outdoors for long are best not grown fully in the open. The roots of succulents that have just settled into their pots are not yet very strong, and overly strong sunlight will cause them to get sunburned. Moreover, when they have just settled into their pots, if you want to move them outside to grow in the open, you should also let them slowly get used to the duration and intensity of light. Moving them out directly will also cause sunburn.

Around May Day, temperatures everywhere are rising. Succulent lovers in northern regions can grow them outdoors all day and do not need to worry about sunburn. In some northern regions, even in summer there is no need for shade, so now there is even less need. For southern regions, you need to consider the tolerance of your own succulents. The safest are succulents that have already been grown outdoors for more than two or three years. At this time, growing them fully in the open will not cause sunburn.

In the process of caring for succulents, we often worry about this and that, but sometimes the resistance of succulents is much stronger than we imagine. There is no need to take care of them too much. Sometimes lazy care may make them survive more easily than intensive care. Of course, you still need to get the roots of the succulents healthy first.

Have you decided where to go for the May Day short holiday? Are you worried that your succulents grown outdoors will get sunburned? Are the succulents at home going to be grown fully in the open or moved back indoors?
