These succulents can easily die in summer with the slightest mistake
Succulents have such a powdery, tender look that you really want to take a bite, and they are deeply loved by everyone. But now that summer temperatures are high, many succulents struggle to make it through summer safely. They clearly did well in spring, yet every time summer comes, you can only watch them die, which is really sad. Let's take a look at these succulents that have the hardest time surviving summer safely!
Echeveria 'Huth's Pink' (Chuxian)
Echeveria 'Huth's Pink' is really very hard to grow in summer, because it is especially prone to black rot, and if you are not careful, it is almost ready to pass on. Here is how to help it survive summer safely.
Summer temperatures are really super high, so Echeveria 'Huth's Pink' basically enters dormancy, which means you have to reduce the frequency of watering and just keep the soil slightly dry. If you water too much, then it will definitely be done for. In addition, you also need to shade it well from light, and place it somewhere with good ventilation, otherwise it will develop black rot.
Swedish Magic Man
Growing Swedish Magic Man in summer can really be said to be too difficult. With the slightest mistake, Swedish Magic Man will turn to water and die. Let's take a look at how to help it survive summer safely!
Temperatures now are basically around 35°C, which can easily make Swedish Magic Man turn to water, so you need to cool it down. You can put a fan beside it to lower the temperature, or if the air conditioning is on, move it to a place with air conditioning. In addition, in summer, absolutely do not leave it under the blazing sun. You can give it a little scattered light, and wait until it gets through summer before giving it sunlight again.
Echeveria 'Little Red Riding Hood' (Xiaohongyi)
Echeveria 'Little Red Riding Hood' is absolutely in the top three succulents that are sure to die in summer, because it always grows especially well today, and then tomorrow it just dies outright, which is really maddening. Let's take a look at which mistakes you have made.
When growing Echeveria 'Little Red Riding Hood', you must pay attention to ventilation, because a relatively stuffy and hot environment can easily cause black rot and death, so it is best to keep a fan running and the windows open to ensure good ventilation. And you should water it less. If you water too much, plus the stuffy hot weather, it will be just like us taking a sauna, and it will absolutely pass on!
Mountain Rose (Greenovia)
Mountain Rose is in dormancy in summer, but its ornamental value does not decrease. Its leaves all wrap around themselves, but if you water too much, it is basically not far from death.
When growing it in summer, you must pay attention to opening windows for ventilation or giving it a fan. Summer is its dormant period, so avoid direct strong light, and starting from spring gradually reduce the amount of watering. When temperatures are relatively high, you can cut off water entirely.
