Early summer is the last chance to buy succulents; next time you'll have to wait until September

By mid-May, even in northern cities the temperature is approaching 30 degrees. Fellow succulent lovers, if you want to buy succulents, hurry and buy them in the next few days. After that, you really must resist the urge to splurge!

1. Prone to suffocating and rotting

When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, you should reduce how often you buy succulents. If the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, then by all means stop buying succulents, especially those shipped from far away, as they can easily suffocate and rot on the way!

2. Poor condition in summer

Experienced succulent lovers all know that in summer, succulents are like spread-out Chinese cabbages, glossy green with no color at all, and some are even in their dormant period. They may still look beautiful when they first arrive, because they were originally grown in a greenhouse; move them to your small balcony, and within a few days they fade!

3. High difficulty to grow

In hot weather, many succulents are themselves in their dormant period, making it hard for them to establish roots, and watering is also hard to control. Soil that would normally dry out overnight may still be damp by noon in muggy weather, and the succulents are very likely to be steamed to death!

In summary, if you're going to splurge, do it now, otherwise wait until September to buy! Here's a recommendation for an extremely cheap succulent in fantastic condition, large in size, mostly common varieties, suitable for beginners!
