What harm does heavy rain do to succulents?Water accumulationYou might think that keeping succulents in water is dangerous. But soaking in water itself is dangerous, but not dangerous either. Because soaking in water and watering thoroughly are the same state, succulents can rely on the oxygen in the water to maintain life. As long as they are allowed to breathe fresh air in time, there is no need to worry about their lives. Physical reactions after heavy rainIn fact, the real harm of heavy rain to succulents is not the accumulation of water, but the physical damage of the heavy rain itself. If the rainstorm is accompanied by strong winds, the tarpaulin collapses, or is hit by unknown objects, these damages cannot be compensated later. How to care for succulents after a rainstormTimely drainageThe biggest problem after heavy rain is poor drainage. Many flower pots in the home are beautiful ceramic pots with relatively flat bottoms. If you place them on plastic, glass or wooden flower stands, water will remain in the pots for a long time and the accumulated water cannot be drained. Even if you place the flower pot in the sun promptly, you won't be able to breathe for several weeks. Therefore, it is best to stand the flower pot up, or place it on sand or felt, so that the bottom of the flower pot can breathe and the water can flow out as quickly as possible. Don't expose to the sun after rainThe problem of poor drainage has been solved. Another reason for the death of soaked fish is exposure to the sun after rain. Heavy rain is often followed by high temperatures. When the rain stops and the sun comes out, an effect similar to boiled pork slices will appear. What should I do then? After a heavy rain, place the plants in the sun without shade. When the sun is strongest, water them with cool water. This will increase the oxygen content in the soil and lower the soil temperature. On the other hand, it will speed up the absorption capacity of the roots, allowing the plants to withstand subsequent exposure to the sun. |
