Succulent care in autumn: these 4 points are all essential

When caring for succulents in autumn, you must do these "4 points" well, otherwise, missing even one is practically "sending them to their death"!

In the blink of an eye, we have welcomed the crisp, refreshing days of autumn, which is good news for succulents, but right now we are at the junction between summer and autumn. In fact, there are more things we need to pay attention to than in summer. Today let's briefly talk about which points we must do well for succulents after entering autumn.

1. Ventilation

This is the most important point. Compared with summer, autumn temperatures are more suitable, but the humidity in the air may still not drop much, so ventilation and air circulation must still be maintained. In fact, no matter which season it is, when caring for succulents you must maintain a good ventilation environment. Whether the environment is ventilated also determines whether the succulent's root system can breathe normally, and it can also avoid the breeding of bacteria and viruses.

2. Shading

Although autumn sunlight is not as intense as summer sunlight, ultraviolet rays still do not weaken immediately. Everything should be done step by step, so in this respect you still cannot be careless. Do not remove the shade net immediately after autumn begins. You must wait until the weather is cool and the ultraviolet rays are truly not so intense before removing it.

3. Water control

I believe many flower lovers get a headache when these two words are mentioned. The whole summer felt like it was spent controlling water for succulents, but in the end the succulents still were not grown well. This is the most heartbreaking point. So why, after succulents enter autumn, is water control still put on the schedule?

Although succulents begin to enter their growing season in autumn, having just gotten through summer, most succulents are still in a dormant or semi-dormant state, so you absolutely must not rapidly increase the frequency of watering. Water in appropriate amounts and continue to do a good job of water control for succulents.

4. Pest prevention

When caring for succulents, once the temperature reaches around 28 degrees Celsius, the outbreak rate of pests and diseases becomes much higher, so "pest prevention" is still something that must be done in autumn.

To prevent pests, besides keeping the potting soil clean, ventilation is a very effective method. In addition, you can bury some small white tablets in the soil, which can effectively prevent various types of pests.

Alright, today's sharing ends here. Fellow succulent growers, are your succulents still intact after getting through summer?
