How to grow succulent bulbs in summer

Bulb is a very easy to grow succulent plant. It is a winter plant that grows in winter and hibernates in summer, so summer maintenance is particularly important.

Adequate lighting

Although light bulbs prefer an environment with plenty of sunlight, they must be guaranteed to have sufficient sunlight even during their dormant period. However, the sunlight intensity is high in summer, and the growth of the bulbs is restricted during their dormant period, so they should be shaded and maintained throughout the summer.

Watering

There will be a layer of old leaves on the surface of the bulb area, which can absorb water, so there is no need to water too much in summer to avoid the soil in the pot being too dry or too wet. Watering is usually done by immersion or dripping. Do not spray the plant directly with a sprinkler to avoid affecting its normal breathing.

Choose the right soil

The potting soil should be selected when planting. Usually, coal slag is mixed with a small amount of peat, a small amount of Akadama and orchid stone, and a layer of river sand is spread on the surface. If the succulent grows for a long time, the surface river sand can be replaced in summer to enhance its permeability.

Breeding at the right time

Usually sowing and propagation are carried out in autumn, around mid-September. Of course, if the bulbs grow well, they can be divided in late summer.
