How to care for succulents in autumn? Light is a must-learn lesson

Everyone says the best plant for beginners is the succulent~ You buy a succulent for your home, leave it there without knowing how to care for it, and over time it withers and dies -- light may be the culprit~

Light is a crucial factor for succulents; sufficient light can make succulents grow better and become plump and round. Before knowing how succulents should get sun, we should first know what variety of succulent we are growing -- different succulents have different growth habits.

Although succulents are one category of plant, each type's dormancy period and tolerance to sun are different, so it is best to treat them differently. If you grow all succulents the same way, they may well die halfway through.

Generally speaking, in spring, autumn and winter you can let succulents get sun all day; the sun's intensity in these three seasons is not strong and is suitable for succulent growth. It is not as extreme and scorching as the summer sun. If you still give succulents all-day sun in summer, even if they tolerate sun, problems will arise.

In summer, you need to provide shade not only for succulents but also for other plants, to prevent the sunlight from scorching the leaves. Do not underestimate this shading -- an ordinary piece of black cloth can achieve more than half the shading effect!

The succulents we grow need at least two hours of light per day, and the best is more than 5 hours. If there is not enough sunlight, succulents may become leggy. In addition, for newly bought succulents, it is best not to give them all-day sun right away, as it may cause discomfort to the succulent.

You should slowly increase the succulent's light little by little, increase its adaptability, and gradually increase it to all-day light.

Having said all this, the editor thinks the most important thing is to arrange different light according to different types of succulents. After all, there are no two identical leaves in the world, and there will not be identical succulents either!

Finally, the editor still wants to remind everyone that if there is not enough light, succulents will become leggy, suffer from malnutrition, and have leaves that are not round enough. Such succulents will grow relatively poorly, so everyone must pay attention.

Besides light, this key factor, the editor suggests you still find out clearly the growth habits of different succulents. Only by fully understanding succulents can you make them grow better!

I hope everyone can grow beautiful and fun succulents! No matter where you place them, they can make your mood happy and beautiful!
