How to water succulents in summer, do this now that May has arrived

With the arrival of the Start of Summer in May, temperatures in most regions seem to get hotter by the day, and I'm sure many varieties of succulents and succulent fans simply can't take it anymore. Over the past while, I've also noticed all kinds of pest and disease problems and poor succulent condition caused by the hot weather, and of course fewer succulent fans have been sharing beautiful photos of their plants.

So today I'll walk you through the question of watering succulents in summer. In fact, when choosing a watering time, we should try to pick the relatively cool nighttime hours, and absolutely never water in the middle of the day when the sun is high overhead (if you water at noon, the water is easily evaporated by the hot weather and turns into steam, which can scorch the leaves of succulents).

Of course, if you run into a stretch of continuous hot weather while growing succulents, you need to stop replenishing water for your succulents right away (don't worry about their condition either; under normal circumstances, succulents can endure a month without any water). Of course, the next watering time can also be adjusted according to the actual weather conditions (when you get an overcast day, be sure to give your succulents a drink early).

I'm sure many succulent fans have also seen experts online proposing the method of cutting off water for succulents in summer. In fact, cutting off water only suits a small number of succulent varieties, while most varieties do not need their water cut off in summer, including Lithops and Sempervivum, which easily enter dormancy in summer (indoor environments), both of which need water replenishment to restore a healthy growth state.

If succulents develop wrinkles in summer, you must water them to restore their condition.
