Hard to keep succulents in summer? Put this in the bottom of the pot, and they won't turn yellow, won't rot at the roots, and will grow plump and thick

Summer is here, and many flower lovers like to keep a few potted flowers at home, which can not only decorate the room but also purify the air. Succulents, for example, are one of the potted flowers that many flower lovers like to grow. Succulents come in all sorts of shapes and have extremely high ornamental value, and they are also especially easy to grow. You could say that if you break off a branch and toss it into a pot, it will sprout and fill the pot. But because of the high summer temperatures, many flower lovers say their succulents do not grow well, always tend to turn yellow at the leaves, and do not grow taller. Today I will teach you a little trick.

We can put a little of this in the bottom of the pot, and they won't turn yellow, won't rot at the roots, and will grow super plump! Most of the reason succulents do not grow well in summer is improper watering. Because evaporation is relatively fast in summer and water demand also increases, but watering must be done in the right amount. Most flower lovers like to water them whenever they have a chance. Then, if you are not careful, water easily accumulates at the roots, and the main cause of yellowing leaves is too much watering.

To deal with the problem of overwatering, many beginners do not know how much water to give, so we can pick up some pine needles in the park and place them in the bottom of the pot. This can improve the drainage and air permeability of the soil, and excess water can drain out of the pot, thus avoiding yellowing leaves caused by too much watering.

Moreover, pine needles themselves are very good flower fertilizer. As they slowly rot in the bottom of the pot through watering, the pine needles will produce good nutrients for the succulents to absorb. Normally you do not even need to fertilize, directly saving money on flower fertilizer, which is especially suitable for beginners and rather lazy people.

When caring for succulents in summer, be sure to provide shade, because the midday sunlight in summer is relatively strong, and succulents in a high-temperature and strong-light environment easily develop yellow leaves and leaf drop, or even root rot. We can keep them in a shady place and spray water on the succulent leaves, which can lower their temperature and keep them sufficiently hydrated.

Flower lovers who like succulents can try this little trick. In summer you will no longer worry about not being able to grow succulents well. If you have any other flower-growing experience, you can also share it with everyone in the comment box below!
