If you put this at the bottom of a succulent pot, it won’t die no matter how hot the weather is, and the more you grow it, the more it will bloom!

Blow a fan for succulents

In fact, most succulents are suffocated to death in summer due to high temperatures and poor ventilation in the house.

1. In order to lower the temperature of succulents, you can blow a fan on them in time to lower the temperature around the succulent pots and the soil in the pots to avoid root rot due to high temperature and stuffiness.

2. If the weather is hot in the summer and you often turn on the air conditioner at home, you can also move all the succulents into the air-conditioned room to lower the temperature of the succulents. When the weather is cool in the morning and evening, open the windows in time to ventilate the plants to avoid suffocation due to lack of ventilation.

Cut off the flower arrows of succulent plants

Huahua is going to talk about a very important aspect next, which is that once you find that the succulents have flower buds or flower arrows, you must cut them off immediately.

1. Once you find that the succulents in your home are blooming or have flower arrows, you must cut them off immediately and never let them stay.

2. Because some succulents will die after flowering, such as Halo Plant and Echeveria Yunnanensis. All their nutrients are supplied to flowering, so they die directly after flowering, so the flower arrows must be cut off.

Wrap the meat in a diaper

Succulents are most likely to die from lack of water in the summer. Especially when I am going out, I am always worried that the succulents at home will die from lack of water!

1. If you have children at home, you can use diapers or disposable diapers to keep the succulents moisturized. Take the succulent out of the flowerpot, wrap it with a diaper, put it back into the flowerpot, and water it once.

2. The diapers wrapped around the succulents absorb enough water, and the water is not easily lost, thus forming a moisturizing effect on the soil.

Stone padding at the bottom of the succulent pot

Succulent plants often die in summer, largely due to overwatering.

1. Find a shallow plate, put small stones, medical stones and other things in the plate, then water the shallow plate. The water should not cover the surface of the stones, and then place the succulent flower pot on it.

2. The water in the shallow tray can increase the air humidity and soil moisture around the succulents when evaporating, reduce the amount and frequency of watering, and avoid root rot due to excessive watering.

Succulent pelvic floor towel

If you find it too troublesome to use stones or something like that, you can also put a thick towel at the bottom of the succulent pot.

1. It is best to choose a non-woven towel for the towel at the bottom of the succulent pot. Usually, you can wet the towel and place it under the drainage hole of the succulent pot. This can save the time of watering the succulents and avoid the root rot of the succulents caused by improper watering.

2. This method is only applicable to red pottery pots or plastic pots with many holes at the bottom that can absorb water. Do not use this method for ceramic pots with smaller holes at the bottom.

Wet paper towels for meat bowl

If you want your succulent plants to spend the summer safely, you must reduce the evaporation of water in the potting soil.

1. The temperature is high in summer. In order to reduce the evaporation rate of the soil in the pot of succulents, you can spread a layer of wet paper towels or wet wipes on the surface of the soil to minimize water evaporation and ensure that the soil can retain moisture.

2. If you have idle newspapers at home, you can also wet the newspapers and spread them on the surface of the flower pot to keep the soil moist and reduce water evaporation.

Planting potting grass in succulent pots

If you want to lower the temperature of the soil in the succulent pot and reduce evaporation, you can also plant pot-protecting grasses in the pots, such as Sedum sphenanthera and Creeping Spathiphyllum.

1. Sprinkle some seeds of potting grass on the edge of the flowerpot and let the potting grass grow slowly. This can not only improve the ornamental effect, but also prevent the soil in the succulent pot from becoming compacted and avoid water loss.

2. There are some disadvantages to potting grass, which is that they are tenacious and grow rapidly, and they easily compete with succulents for nutrients. Therefore, when choosing potting grass for succulents, you must choose those slow-growing, evergreen varieties.

That’s all for today’s introduction of Huahua.
