Succulents are at their most beautiful after Cold Dew: these 3 issues need to be checked in time

Cold Dew has already passed five or six days ago, and by the solar terms there is less than a month until the Start of Winter. In the north the weather is now cool, and the temperature difference between day and night has widened; while the south is still above 20°C, though mornings and evenings have also become cooler. For succulents that have endured the harsh summer, the best season has finally arrived.

Large temperature differences, ample light, and cool ventilation - these are the best natural climate factors for succulents' condition. You could say this season is the cheat-mode season for succulents.

However, you must not let your guard down at this time either, because although some succulents have survived the harsh summer, the harsh summer may have already caused invisible damage to the plants - you just haven't noticed it. Next, Xiao Jingzhi will check together with everyone whether your own succulents are actually healthy.

1. At this time, succulent leaves should be compact and dense, plump and thick, and their growth rate should be very fast and obvious. But if these signs are absent, and instead the leaves are gradually decreasing, then it is very likely the root system has not grown well and you need to repot and inspect.

2. At this time, the colors of succulents should be becoming more and more vivid and attractive, which is what we usually call "showing their condition." If these signs are absent, you need to check the environment the plants are in: whether the light is sufficient, whether the temperature difference is large enough, and whether you have failed to control watering.

3. Check whether the stems of the succulents show any necrosis. If so, it is generally a wound left over from summer. If the wound is severe, you need to behead the plant promptly or take other corresponding measures; if the situation is not too serious, you can care for it for a period to see whether it recovers.

So, while enjoying the good condition of succulents, we must not be idle. We need to check carefully: repot promptly those with poor roots, promptly behead those with serious damage, and strictly control watering when it is needed - only then will the plants show their best posture!
