Succulents always die in summer? Turns out these few points were overlooked
More and more people now like to keep some green potted plants at home, and among them, succulent pots have become one of the more popular potted plants today because they look small and cute and are easy to keep alive. But as summer arrives, many people's succulent pots at home show conditions such as leaves turning black and root rot. Why is that?
Just because succulents are easy to keep alive does not mean they can go without care. Every plant needs careful tending and care during the process of growing it, especially in the hot, dry summer. So what problems need attention when growing succulents in summer?
1. Watering
As for the issue of watering, Da Wan has mentioned before that the amount of water depends on the amount of soil in the succulent's pot. There is no need to water on schedule every day, but remember to water thoroughly as much as possible.
2. Environment
If the environment is stuffy, hot and humid, the succulents need appropriate shading and should be kept ventilated. You can prepare a few fans to cool the succulents. Also, the bottom of the pot needs holes so that the roots of the succulent can live with air circulating around them and avoid root rot.
3. Succulents getting sick
Even people get sick, let alone plants. In a stuffy, hot and humid environment, bacteria easily grow, and under attack by bacteria, succulent pots will show rotting and discolored leaves. At this time, you need to first isolate the succulent and keep the isolation environment ventilated, then use a spray targeted at bacteria to clean it up.
