The little succulent owners each come up with their own tricks and care for them lovingly. Come see how the succulents at the home across from the little gardener are grown. With this "banana leaf fan", the succulents will surely get through summer comfortably.

1. For succulents to get through summer, sunlight is essential

These are the succulents on the balcony of the home across the way. A whole flower rack of them has been grown, and now she has two flower racks of succulents, so you could say she is the "succulent tycoon" of this area. When growing succulents in summer, sunlight is essential. This is the first point to pay attention to in care. This little owner just leaves them on the brackets outside the windowsill to grow, which counts as semi-outdoor growing.

Many succulent owners feel the summer sun is too strong and put their succulents away neatly, but there is really no need for that. With no light at all in summer, succulents actually grow poorly. For those succulents not growing very well, shade them at midday in summer, and shade cloth is enough. For those succulents growing vigorously, even shading can be skipped, because they are the type that is "unhappy without sun".

2. In summer the balcony is like the "Flaming Mountains", so have a "banana leaf fan" ready for the succulents

The reason the neighbor's succulents can get through summer safely is that this little fan plays an indispensable role. Do not underestimate this little fan; artificial airflow depends on it. Summer is hot and stuffy, and using a fan to create airflow can effectively prevent succulent diseases. Ventilation is the first essential for succulents to grow strong and healthy. If the summer balcony is like the "Flaming Mountains", then this little fan is the "banana leaf fan".

Especially for those succulents that develop problems in summer and need to be dealt with, ventilation must be done even more carefully. However good a fan is, it is not as good as the succulents' own strength. During spring and autumn care, we had best supplement fertilizer with a special organic nutrient solution for succulents that strengthens and nourishes roots, so as to grow the root system well, make the succulents plump and strong, and also make it easier for them to get through summer and overwinter.

Summer is hot and stuffy, so hurry and prepare a "banana leaf fan" for the little succulents at home. Only with guaranteed conditions and ventilation can the succulents at home get through summer smoothly!
