Cultivation methods and precautions of succulent sunset

The succulent sunset glow is not very difficult to grow. It appears as a "pancake" shape. If the color is not red enough, you may not understand the habits of the succulent sunset glow. If you want to make the succulent sunset glow turn deep red, you must control the growth. Moreover, its growth rate is slow, and it is not easy to grow a large tree. It will hibernate in summer, so you must pay attention to its maintenance.

How to grow succulent sunset

If you want the succulent sunset plant to grow healthily, you need to do a good job of water control during daily maintenance. Do not water the flowerpot frequently. If you water too much, water will accumulate in the potting soil, which can easily cause root rot. If you water frequently and there is insufficient light, the succulent sunset plant will spread out or grow too tall. If these problems occur, they are basically caused by frequent watering.

1. Shading

There is a thin layer of white powder on the leaves of the succulent sunset plant. Although it has a certain ability to resist the sun, it is not very resistant to strong light. Therefore, the first thing to do when caring for the succulent sunset plant after dormancy is to block light to prevent strong light from burning the leaves. It can also be placed in a semi-shaded environment. When the temperature is too high, move it directly to a cool and ventilated place for maintenance.

2. Control watering

After the succulent sunset plant goes into hibernation in summer, you must control watering to avoid root rot due to excessive water, especially in a humid and rainy environment. It needs to be maintained without water. However, if the air humidity is relatively low and it has not rained for a long time, you need to give a little vital water along the edge of the pot every week or so to ensure that the capillary roots will not completely dry out and affect subsequent growth.

3. Avoid water entering the center of the leaves

After the succulent sunset plant goes into hibernation, the outer leaves will gather towards the center, wrapping the heart of the leaf. If you accidentally water the heart of the leaf and the water stays there for a long time without evaporating, the heart will easily rot, and the whole plant will rot and die from the center.

4. Remove the leaves that are seriously aged.

Before summer comes, the severely aging leaves under the sunset succulent should be cleaned up, especially some semi-dry leaves with very little flesh. Otherwise, these leaves have poor resistance and are prone to rot in the high temperature environment in summer or become targets of attack by pathogens, thus affecting the entire sunset plant.

Precautions for caring for succulent sunset

When caring for the succulent sunset, you should pay attention to observe whether the succulent sunset has gone dormant in the summer so that you can adjust the maintenance in time. If it grows normally and the leaves do not gather to the middle seriously, it is not dormant. If the growth almost stops and the leaves gradually gather to the center and become a big bun, it is dormant. There is a big difference in maintenance between the sunset before dormancy and the sunset after dormancy, so pay attention to the adjustments.
