How to care for succulent Buddha beads in summer?

The succulent plant Buddha beads are suitable for growing in an environment that is both dry and cool. They do not like it to be too humid and hot. In summer, it is best to place the potted plants in a cool place with good air circulation for maintenance.

illumination

Succulent Buddha beads like a growing environment with sufficient sunlight and need to be given sufficient light. If the light is not sufficient, it will easily cause the plant to grow too tall, making the stems fragile and the distance between the leaves being pulled apart, which is not conducive to plant growth and reduces its ornamental value. At the same time, under the premise of ensuring light, we should also pay attention to shading, avoid direct sunlight and long-term exposure, and provide more ventilation and cooling.

Watering

When the temperature in summer exceeds 35℃, the growth of the succulent Buddha beads plant will slow down and enter a semi-dormant period. At this time, watering should be reduced to avoid root rot caused by excessive moisture in the potting soil. Of course, you cannot completely avoid watering in hot weather, otherwise the leaves of the plant will lose water and wilt, which not only reduces its appearance, but also seriously affects the normal growth of the Buddhist beads. Generally, watering 2-3 times in about thirty days is sufficient. The best time to water is in the evening after sunset. When watering, avoid pouring directly on it. Just pour it slowly along the edge of the pot to avoid rain.

Fertilization

Generally, no fertilizer is needed in summer to avoid burning the leaves. During the growing season, fertilizer is usually applied every thirty days or so.

soil

The cultivation medium for succulent Buddha beads potted plants is suitable to be a mixture of perlite, vermiculite and leaf mold, or loose, fertile and well-ventilated soil.

Precautions

In summer, there is more rain, so you should be careful not to let succulents get wet in the rain.
