Succulents die as soon as you repot them in summer? Mastering this little trick is the key
The hot and humid summer is the hardest season for succulents. Succulent lovers do not dare to make any rash moves at this time, for fear that one careless operation will kill their succulents at home, and they dare not easily attempt big moves like repotting! Summer is indeed not a good time to repot succulents, but when repotting is necessary under special circumstances, mastering the technique can still ensure the safety of the succulents!
Under what circumstances should you choose to repot succulents?
When a succulent develops black rot and will die unless it is beheaded and replanted, it needs to be repotted.
When the flower pot is too small and can no longer meet the growth needs of the succulent, you can choose to repot it.
How do you carry out repotting?
1. According to the specific variety, choose soil suitable for that succulent's growth. Loose and breathable are the basic requirements. You can spread a layer of perlite at the bottom of the pot to enhance air permeability.
2. Plant the succulent that needs repotting in a pot. Note that for plants with black rot, the part that needs to be cut off for propagation must first be dried in a cool place to let the wound heal, and then planted in a pot.
3. Around the roots of the plant, dig a ring-shaped trench and evenly sprinkle in microbial inoculant. This can improve the soil structure, avoid compaction, inhibit or kill harmful bacteria in the soil, and improve resistance, thereby avoiding the occurrence of black rot and root rot in succulents in summer.
4. After watering with a spray bottle, place it in a cool and ventilated place for the pot to settle.
As for some flower lovers, especially beginners at growing succulents, who do not understand the habits of succulents and only think the flower pot does not look good, or simply cannot control their hands and want to repot succulents in summer, the editor has nothing to say and means they do not want to pay attention to you.
