How does Haworthia striata survive the summer?

Summer temperature of Haworthia striata

In fact, Sedum is more resistant to high temperatures than we imagined. It can grow normally as long as the temperature does not exceed 42℃.

Of course, temperature difference is very important for the growth of leaves of Haworthia. A temperature difference of more than 10℃ is very necessary for it. Otherwise, it will grow very slowly in an environment of high temperature and small temperature difference, and it is easy to rot and die.

Summer light for Haworthia striata

Although Haworthia is very sensitive to light, shading is the key in summer. When grown in the north and shaded by 40%, the leaves will appear reddish brown, and growth will be slow or even stop. When shaded by 65%, growth will be normal and the leaves will be tender green. Plants with more than 80% shading grow rapidly and tend to grow taller.

Therefore, as long as the summer temperature does not exceed 35℃, as long as it is not a completely dark environment, and the shade is properly provided, the Haworthia will grow rapidly.

Haworthia stripeda needs ventilation in summer

In summer, ventilation is very important for Sedum striata. Even in a shaded environment, the flower pots will be exposed to the sun. Sufficient ventilation and proper watering can take away some of the heat and help lower the ambient temperature.

Timely ventilation on rainy days can also remove moisture and prevent the occurrence of summer diseases and pests.

Summer watering requirements for Haworthia

Watering is crucial for Haworthia to survive the summer. It is necessary to water it in time to ensure the normal growth of Haworthia in summer. In summer, the amount of water evaporates rapidly. Once the flower pot dries out, it will cause great damage to the roots. The simplest way is to fill an empty pot with soil, place it in the same environment and observe it for a few days to dry out. This can help you roughly estimate the watering time, you can try it.

Things to note when growing Haworthia striata in summer

Do not change the pot of the Haworthia schefflera in summer and do not use beheading to propagate it.

During the summer, the tips of the leaves may become dry, but this is normal. As long as you ensure ventilation and follow the above maintenance methods, there will be basically no problems.
