Succulents are divided into "winter type" and "summer type"

"Winter type" succulents are dormant in the summer and grow in winter, spring and autumn. In summer, their growth will stop and they are not resistant to high temperatures. When caring for the plant, pay attention to shading, stop fertilizing and keep it ventilated. Reduce watering. If necessary, you can use spray water to increase humidity, but be careful not to spray water during the hot noon. It is best to do it in the evening.

"Summer type" succulents refer to those that do not hibernate in summer and grow vigorously. These succulents can be taken indoors in time during the summer. Sufficient sunlight will make their color better and stronger.

"Summer type" succulents are more heat-resistant, but the temperature cannot be too high. Generally, they will stop growing in an environment of 35℃, so pay attention to temperature control. When applying fertilizer, you need to apply it appropriately according to different varieties. Apply more fertilizer to fast-growing plants, less fertilizer to slow-growing plants, or even no fertilizer at all.
