How to grow rainbow jade in summer

1. Key points for early summer maintenance

temperature

Rainbow Jade likes warm environment and is afraid of cold, so it can grow well in summer when the temperature is less than or equal to 28℃, but it will enter a dormant period when the temperature exceeds 28℃. Therefore, in early summer, you should pay attention to ventilation and control the temperature to allow the rainbow jade to grow healthily.

illumination

Rainbow Jade likes sunlight and cannot tolerate shade. It will easily grow too tall in a shady environment, and if it continues for a long time it will become weak or even die. When growing indoors, turn the plants 180 degrees every two weeks or so to prevent uneven growth.

Watering

Rainbow Jade is relatively drought-tolerant, but afraid of waterlogging. Watering must be done alternately between dry and wet. Do not water if it is not dry, and water thoroughly if it is watered!

Fertilization

Rainbow Jade is afraid of large amounts of fertilizer, concentrated fertilizer, and raw fertilizer, so a small amount of fertilizer should be applied each time and combined with watering.

2. Key points for summer maintenance

When the plant is dormant in the summer, its growth slows down and its ability to absorb nutrients gradually decreases. At this time, the following points should be noted in its maintenance:

Water and fertilizer management

Do not water during complete dormancy and keep the soil dry; keep the soil moist during general dormancy; water and apply fertilizer as appropriate during semi-dormancy. Stop fertilizing regardless of the type of dormancy to avoid fertilizer damage and root rot.

Controlling temperature

The temperature is very high in summer, reaching over 40 degrees in some areas. Meat cannot withstand such high temperatures. The dormant temperature of Rainbow Jade is 28~32℃. If the temperature is too high or the weather turns cooler, it will be difficult to resume growth.

ventilation

When caring for rainbow jade indoors, the high temperature and humidity in summer make it difficult for water vapor to escape, which can easily lead to frequent occurrence of various diseases and pests such as root rot and black rot. Therefore, you should pay attention to providing proper ventilation and heat dissipation for the succulents to ensure that they can safely pass through the dormancy period.
