How to maintain succulents in autumn?

The choice of light should not suddenly move from a weaker place to a stronger place. Be sure to let the succulent slowly adapt from the scattered light environment to the strong light environment to avoid the fleshy sunburn. Succulents are mostly dormant in the summer, and many people will use the method of water cut-off to deal with them.

When autumn comes. The succulent will gradually wake up, and the amount of watering should be increased at this time. When watering, be sure not to let water beads.

Glued to the blades. Water droplets stick to the leaves for too long, and poor ventilation can cause the flesh to rot.

Be sure to pay attention to the lighting. Autumn Tiger is as powerful as that. The succulents are cared for throughout the summer months, and they are given sun protection.

Although the autumn has begun to cool down in the morning and evening, and the temperature difference is more obvious, the midday sun is also very poisonous, and if the fleshy people who have not experienced the big sun in summer are exposed to the sun at this time, it is easy to get sunburned. So the same is true for light, there must be a gradual process, slowly increasing the light time little by little, so that the flesh has a process of adaptation.

To raise succulents in autumn, you can give it a small amount of fertilizer to promote its growth faster and stronger, and apply a small amount of fertilizer each time to avoid burning too many roots. In autumn, you can bask in the sun while taking advantage of the temperature difference between morning and evening, day and night, so that the color of the succulent leaves becomes more beautiful and colorful.

After the beginning of autumn, the climate is still hot and humid, so it is better to wait until the temperature drops below 30 degrees Celsius and stabilizes before turning over the pot and changing the soil. It is best to wait until the temperature is about 25 degrees Celsius to change the pot and prune the roots, so that the flesh will be easier to root. As the temperature slowly drops, insect infestations such as scale insects begin to increase, especially when the weather is cooler.

It is recommended to look at the front and back of the succulent foliar surface frequently, as well as the succulent bottom pole of the old pile, and carefully check it, and do not hesitate to take the medicine.

Most of the summer varieties can be left out and exposed to sunlight, so that they can grow vigorously and grow into a beautiful succulent. However, seedlings should not be exposed to direct sunlight in early autumn, and it is best to be raised in a place of astigmatism. Soil water accumulation and excessive drought are not conducive to the normal growth of plants, if there is continuous autumn rain, stop watering, and pay attention to drainage to prevent waterlogging.

In terms of light, from August to September, it can be placed in a bright place without direct sunlight for maintenance, and from October to November, it can be given sufficient light to absorb as much sunlight as possible, so that the plants are full and beneficial to the beauty of the plant type. After the plants have completely recovered their growth, normal water and fertilizer management can be carried out, and thin liquid fertilizer can be applied every 15 to 20 days depending on the variety.

Succulents have experienced a summer of high temperatures, and when autumn arrives, it also enters the growth period from the dormant period, so autumn is the season for succulents to grow, and some details need to be paid attention to. The autumn sun is not very strong, you can take out the succulent indoors or under the awning to bask in the sun, and more sunlight can improve the cold resistance.

1. Control the frequency of watering. Generally, the chubby succulent must have a healthy root system, so controlling the water will make the succulent achieve immediate results. We all know that succulent leaves are fleshy, and the reason why it is drought tolerant is because of the large amount of water stored in it.

Therefore, Huahua here said water control, in fact, is to control the frequency of watering, if watering too often, the succulent will not store a lot of water in the leaves, then it is necessary to extend the watering time again, to give the succulent an illusion of lack of water, the succulent in the signal of lack of water, will desperately store water in the leaves, the leaves will naturally become chubby, very lovely. In autumn, it is generally enough to water the succulent once every 15 days, and do not lack water for too long, otherwise the leaves will be more shriveled, so water control is a science, and there is no way to master the degree without personal practice.

2. Increase the temperature difference between day and night. Autumn succulents do not come out of the state, the practice of increasing the temperature difference is very effective, this method is also suitable for fattening leaves, only the temperature difference between day and night is large, the succulents can better accumulate nutrients, and the nutrients consumed at night when the temperature is low are also less, and slowly add the stored nutrients to the leaves, and it is a matter of time before the meat becomes bulging. Therefore, Huahua strongly recommends that the succulent be moved out of the window in autumn for maintenance, and the temperature difference between day and night outdoors is greater, and it is easy to fatten out of the state.

At the same time, when cultivating succulents outdoors, you can spread a layer of maifan stone particles on the surface of the soil, which can help slow down the evaporation rate of water, and also help the soil control the temperature so that the soil temperature will not be too high.

3. Proper fertilization. If you want to accumulate more nutrients in the succulents, you must be inseparable from the step of fertilization. Most succulent plants are not very large, and if the fertilizer is too strong, it is easy to burn its root system.

Succulent chubby attracts love, so when fertilizing, you must use thin fertilizer, succulent has a special granular slow-release fertilizer, less damage to the root system, but also to help the speed of succulent growth to speed up, the leaves will be more fat. It is not recommended to be too diligent when fertilizing, and it is not advisable to apply thin fertilizer frequently, generally once a month.

4. Reduce the volume of potted plants. When raising succulents, try not to choose too large pots, because the root system of succulents is relatively shallow, and using large pots will make the drainage of potting soil much slower, even if the ventilation conditions are good, there will be a risk of rotten roots.

Autumn has been around for a long time, but the task of raising succulents cannot be easily stopped. So what exactly do we need to pay attention to in breeding succulents in this cool season?Next, I will tell you what you should do for succulents this fall.

After a summer of high temperatures, high temperatures, and lack of light, some of the succulents died due to the interference of the natural environment, and some of them left themselves unmoved, and a large part of them were very old although they did not die, not only the color was gone, but the appearance was also thin. Don't worry though, because autumn has arrived. Autumn and winter are more suitable for succulent fattening, no matter how much fat they lose in the summer, an autumn rain can also make them fat back.

But succulents to grow fat, first of all, you also need to plant good roots, followed by succulents to grow fat must be a whole process of abuse, everyone to build a natural environment with less water for succulents, and then they are thirsty, and then give saliva to drink, that is, everyone often says draining water. Finally, don't forget to use root control pots or deeper potted pots.

Autumn and winter is the best time for succulent coloring, because the temperature in autumn and winter is lower, which can give enough light, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which is beneficial to coloring. However, in areas such as the southern region, which has a rainy weather in autumn, this is not the best time to color, and the best time to color is in the cold winter and early spring.

In addition, the relative humidity of the air in the early autumn in North China is small, and there are more sunny days, so it is more suitable for fleshy coloring. At this stage, all parts of the northern region have fully entered the ultra-low temperature mode, and the ultra-low temperature growth is slow but easy to form tight. Even the northern region also comes early in winter, so it is necessary to do a good job of heating and cold protection in advance.

Now you can slowly return to the watering mode, before watering the integration of the weather conditions of the last few days, the climate in 2021 has not been very stable, drought drought, waterlogging drowning, it is proposed that the meat friends in the less rainy area can store precipitation watering, and the rainy area should pay attention to the wind and rain, drainage and drainage pipes. There are also friends who raise more meat, it is best to cultivate the habit of checking the weather forecast every day, do accurate maintenance and distinguish according to the weather conditions, and if there is extreme weather, you can also immediately make various countermeasures.

After the end of the summer, these old, weak, sick and disabled succulents can also be replaced with pots and soil. Here I will talk about a shop problem, many meat lovers tend to ignore the shop, but this is definitely needed. Because the presence of pavement is not only to increase the aesthetics, but also has many benefits, such as isolating the nutrient soil from the outside, in a certain sense, it can prevent pests and diseases from laying eggs, it has a certain "water purification" effect, and in addition to inhibiting the growth of weeds.

The first point: proper watering.

Succulents should try to reduce the amount of watering if they want to color quickly, but they should not let the soil be in a state of lack of water for a long time, otherwise it will not only fail to color, but also cause succulents to have yellow leaves and die. Hence the need"Discretionary reduction"。Each watering time you need to wait until the bottom of the soil is dry and white, if there are traces of water at a depth of 2 cm below the soil, there is no need to replenish water.

In addition, in hot and humid weather, it is best to spray water mist on the succulent leaves from time to time to cool down and moisturize, and at the same time, it is necessary to pay attention not to let water accumulate in the core of the succulent plant, otherwise it is very easy to cause black rot water on the stem, endangering the health and safety of the whole plant. At the same time, when watering, it is necessary to evenly water the surroundings of the plant, and must not be too wet on one side and dry for a long time on the other side, which is very easy to cause growth and damage the aesthetics of the potted plant.

The second point: timely top dressing.

Succulents also need sufficient nutrients for growth, especially in the vigorous growth period, in spring and autumn at least the last nitrogen trapped orange, phosphorus and potassium ternary compound fertilizer should be added every month, and wait for the growth of winter is relatively slow, and even the small number of varieties will enter a short dormant period, such succulents need to be properly adjusted under the frequency of top dressing, but it does not mean that it needs to be stopped immediately.

Just in the winter, even if it is needed"Hibernation"Succulents will also slowly carry out photosynthesis and metabolism, a month needs to add water and fertilizer, and once the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, the last month can be postponed to ensure that it can survive the winter smoothly.

Of course, if the indoor temperature is relatively well controlled, even above 20 degrees, at this time, the water and nutrients needed for the growth of normal succulents are needed.

The third point: soil structure.

Succulents need loose and breathable soil just like ordinary flower plants, and at the same time, because of their own water storage, they generally use more large particles than other flowers, generally accounting for between 30% and 45%.

At the same time, it is necessary to cover the top of the flower soil with a layer of pure soil in winter"Perlite, ceramsite", which can not only keep warm, but also add to the aesthetics of the potted plant.

Succulent plant maintenance strategy! If you want to raise succulents as much as possible, you must learn these three tricks to arouse boredom.

1. In autumn, rooting is the key, succulents become fattening is actually storing more water in the body, when maintaining, everyone thinks that succulents can grow in an arid environment, but they can't pick the door to a drop of water and don't give it, and the plant must raise roots before fattening.

2. Succulents grow slowly, you can't ask to eat a fat man all at once, you have to take it step by step, each leaf is a storage room, and its roots are the supply center, mainly water and minerals, enough to give enough, in order to output.

3. The planting medium with different granularity, the soil void and humidity change in different ways, and the growth state of succulents in different media is also different.

4. The time of raising roots should be determined according to the state of the root system, temperature, water and light, and the roots will be raised in the general growing season, and the roots will grow healthily in about a month, and the growth of the underground part and the aboveground part will slowly begin to balance.

5. After the roots are raised, it is necessary to pay attention not to let the plants overeat, learn to control the water, keep a low humidity state for the succulents, and the watering method is mainly a small number of times, considering the ventilation situation and weather conditions.

6. To fatten and succulents in autumn, we should grasp the timing of the growth of new leaves, change a deep pot for the plant, so that it has enough space to grow, and during the National Day, you can harvest fat and fat succulents.

In autumn, when the temperature drops slightly, coupled with the increase in the temperature difference between day and night, the succulents gradually resume their growth and can be watered more. Since succulents have the characteristic of growing at night, they can be watered appropriately according to changes in temperature. Watering in the early autumn evening and late autumn afternoon is good for plant growth.

Water less on cloudy days and stop watering on rainy days.

Succulents are kept indoors in autumn, and appropriately increasing air humidity is more beneficial to succulents native to high altitudes, and in the autumn growth period, the relative humidity is kept between 45% and 50%, and a few varieties can reach 70%.

Dwarf and succulent Most succulents are short, with succulent stems and leaves, and the growth rate is relatively faster in autumn. For the stems and leaves that grow too fast, such as Bai Xueji and hanging money, etc., the branches can be promoted by topping, flower buds can be formed, and more flowers can be produced, so that the plant type is more compact and dwarfed. Rose to the desert.

Frangipani and other frangipani are thinned to keep the appearance of the plant neat. Colorful cloud pavilions, African overlord trees, cardinal corals, etc., which grow too high, use strong shears to control the height. For the growth of too many buds to absorb the red curly juan, the seed holding years, etc., cutting too many sucking buds can make the plant more beautiful.

Cactus succulents Cactus plants will continue to grow after autumn flowering, timely and reasonable pruning, not only can lower the plant shape, promote branching, make the plant grow more robust, more beautiful plant shape, but also promote its germination of daughter balls, for cuttings or grafting propagation.

If the cactus does not leave seeds after flowering, it is necessary to cut off the residual flowers in time, so as not to consume more nutrients due to fruiting, which is not conducive to the formation of new flower buds. However, for false epiphyllum, dragon and phoenix peony and cactus that are prone to growing daughter balls, the plant shape can be made beautiful by thinning the leafy stems and peeling off the overly dense daughter balls. For crab claw orchids and cacti that bloom in early winter, they should be picked in time.

For columnar cacti, such as Baimangzhu, Longshen Zhu, etc., they should be appropriately shortened, and the plant type should be lowered to prepare for winter.
