What is the most suitable temperature for succulents to grow? Most people don't know

Actually, the temperature range most favorable for succulent plant growth is 15~30 degrees, which is why spring and autumn are said to be the seasons when succulents grow best.

According to many succulent greenhouse owners, on average, when the daytime temperature is 30 degrees, succulent plants have the strongest vitality, and their photosynthesis efficiency is also at its highest.

And at night, when the temperature is around 15 degrees, succulents absorb carbon dioxide most efficiently~~~! Therefore, it can be roughly considered that the 15~30 degree environment is the most favorable for succulent plant growth.

This brings up a question that many succulent lovers don't understand: Can succulents be placed indoors?

Most plants carry out photosynthesis during the day, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, while at night they respire, absorbing oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. So ordinary plants are not very suitable for indoor placement, as they increase the carbon dioxide level at night, which is harmful to human health.

However, many cacti and succulents are exactly the opposite. Because they grow in arid and hot regions, to avoid water loss during the day, their stomata close, and at night the stomata open to absorb carbon dioxide and form malic acid stored in the large vacuoles, then release carbon dioxide during the day for photosynthesis. This unique metabolic method is called "Crassulacean acid metabolism," so cacti and other succulents can be grown indoors.

15~30 degrees is the most suitable for succulent plant growth, but this is not a constant value. In summer, when the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, some succulents go dormant, especially winter-growing succulents. If the temperature reaches 40 degrees, almost all succulents begin to go dormant, and even summer-growing succulents will enter a dormant state. In winter, when the temperature drops below 5 degrees, succulents begin to go dormant. 0 degrees is the freezing point. Succulent plant leaves and stems contain a large amount of water, so when the freezing point is reached, they naturally stop growing...

So, if you want your succulents to grow big, you must make the most of spring and autumn, watering by the "dry then wet" rule, and your succulents will surely live up to your expectations.
