Illustration of how to keep the succulent plant Jade Dew in a stuffy environment (why should the succulent plant Jade Dew be kept in a stuffy environment)

Why should the succulent jade plant be kept in a closed environment?

The reason why jade plant needs to be kept in a cool place is because it likes a warm and semi-humid environment. A too dry environment will make the leaves of jade plant dull, and the windows will not be big enough and transparent enough.

Jade plant itself likes the feeling of moist air, so that its leaves can remain transparent, especially in the relatively dry weather such as winter.

Except for the summer, it is not recommended to keep the plant in a stuffy environment. It is fine in other seasons. Occasionally open the cover to let in some air, which is beneficial for the roots to breathe.

Preparations for the cultivation of succulent plants

You should stop watering the Jade Plant a few days before you plan to keep it in a cool place to keep the soil in the pot relatively dry.

At the same time, you also need to prepare a transparent container for keeping the fish in a sealed container. It can be a disposable cup, a fast food box, a glass container, or you can cut a few large transparent beverage bottle bottoms, as long as the size is suitable and has a certain degree of sealing and light transmittance.

Flower lovers who are growing jade plants for the first time can also leave a small hole in the transparent container as a ventilation hole to prevent the jade plants from being damaged due to lack of timely ventilation!

There are these precautions for keeping jade dew

It is not suitable to keep the Jade Dew in the hot summer, when there is water in the pot, when the plant itself is not acclimatized or is in a sick state. The best effect is to keep the Jade Dew in the winter, which can not only make it crystal clear but also keep it warm.

The time for keeping Jade Dew in a sealed container cannot be too long, with a cycle of 7-10 days.

If you use a non-porous container, you will need to open it for a few hours every 1-2 days for ventilation. Long-term, uninterrupted storage will not only reduce the resistance of the jade plant, but also increase the risk of mildew and window bursting.

It is recommended to use the immersion pot method to water the jade plant that is grown in a sealed environment. This can not only avoid water accumulation in the center of the leaves due to excessive watering, but also help induce the roots to grow downward and make the root system more developed.

After the end of the sealed cultivation, although the jade plant becomes crystal clear, its resistance is also the worst, and it needs to avoid direct sunlight and excessive watering.

First grow the plant in diffuse light for a few days and then restore lighting and normal watering to avoid window bursting and leaves becoming waterlogged.

【 Summarize 】

In addition to Jade Dew, the method of keeping in a cool place is also applicable to other succulents of the Sedum family, such as Sedum succulentum, ... and Sedum succulentum.

Moreover, the ambient temperature can be raised by about 3-5℃. If there is no heating or supplementary lighting during the low temperature period in winter in the southern region, other succulents can also be kept in a stuffy environment, which will help them to successfully survive the coldest period of winter.
