When May arrives, prevent mealybugs and diseases for succulents in summer

The hot summer is also the season when all kinds of pests and diseases break out, especially mealybugs, which can quickly build up their own little colony in a stuffy, humid environment, so when we find pests and diseases, we do not necessarily have to deal with them right away; if it is a small number of mealybugs on the flowers, you can use tweezers to remove them directly, then spray and wash the leaf surface with clean water. If there are many, then perhaps you need to follow me and take a look at the methods for solving the pain points and confusions of growing succulents in summer.

If we find a large number of mealybugs or other pests and diseases on the stems or lower leaves of succulents, then we need to use medication immediately. When using medication, we must also strictly mix it according to the instructions. After spraying the infested spots, we must also promptly place the succulents in a spot with weaker sunlight for care, to avoid sunburn on the leaves.

Of course, black rot is also very prone to breaking out in summer, and the more commonly used fungicide is carbendazim. Generally, the carbendazim bought online or at flower markets is mostly 25% powder, and before use it must be diluted 200-500 times. Of course, carbendazim is also a highly effective, low-toxicity systemic fungicide, with systemic therapeutic and protective effects, but it has a low-toxicity effect on the human body (if black rot is discovered early, carbendazim still has a very good curative effect on it).

Of course, in many regions of our country, even in summer (Yunnan, Shandong and other coastal areas), the colors of succulents are still very vivid, but that is, after all, only a minority, because most regions are very hot in summer, and there are also especially many kinds of pests, so rather than hoping for succulents to become that beautiful, it is better to carefully think about the problem of getting through summer.

For succulents that are still doing well in summer, everyone can just enjoy them; by no means deliberately pursue the kind of state grown in autumn, because after all, growing well what is right in front of you is the best.
