How do succulents get through the summer heat? Just add a layer of "air-conditioning blanket" and it's easily done

As temperatures get higher and higher, getting through summer has become something succulent owners urgently need to sort out. If it isn't dealt with in time, succulents will wilt, and they may even die if you're not careful. Below I'd like to share a few super practical tricks to help succulents get through summer with ease.

1. Want succulents to get through summer easily? Start with controlling water

If the temperature gets too high, succulents will automatically enter a dormant state. At this time they will fold up their leaves and look listless, and the old leaves will also dry up. At this point you must be sure to stop watering; you cannot water them anymore. If you water again now, the potting soil will become waterlogged and the roots will rot. At this time, just water a tiny bit to keep the succulents alive.

2. For succulents to get through summer easily, ventilation is key

If you want your succulents to get through summer easily, there is another very important point, so after summer arrives, pay more attention to ventilating your succulents. Open the windows to ventilate them in the morning, in the evening, and at other times when the temperature isn't high; close the windows at noon. You can also let them catch the breeze from a fan. In short, ventilate more. Then place them somewhere higher up on a shelf, so the air flows a bit better, which also helps the succulents grow.

3. In summer, put a layer of "air-conditioning blanket" over your succulents

Many people are familiar with volcanic rock. In summer, those of you who grow succulents can spread volcanic rock over the potting soil, because volcanic rock has lots of tiny pores, and these pores can dissipate heat. So spreading a layer of volcanic rock over the potting soil is like adding a layer of "air-conditioning blanket" to your succulents. It's very practical and easily helps succulents get through summer.

These are the few tips for helping succulents get through summer easily. If you grow succulents and don't know how to help them get through summer well, you might as well give these a try. I believe the results will be better than you could ever imagine, and will absolutely let you keep your succulents alive with ease through the summer.
