1、 Illumination

As a fleshy native in Africa and South Africa, it naturally likes the sun very much, so it doesn't need to avoid long-term sunlight like other plants. Even in summer, you can always put it in the sun

Of course, if the temperature is too high, such as close to 40 ℃, it also needs to be properly shaded. It cannot be kept in an airtight high-temperature environment for a long time. It should always pay attention to a good ventilation environment

2、 Watering

Spring is the best time for Jasper lotus to grow. In summer, it is basically its dormancy period. During the dormancy period, it is necessary to reduce the number and amount of watering, and avoid ponding in the soil, otherwise the root will rot if it can't absorb water

If there is cloudy and rainy weather in summer, there is no need to water. Try to use a water spray pot for watering at ordinary times. Just spray a small amount of water on the leaves so that the water can stay on the leaves in the form of water droplets without forming water flow

3、 Soil

Jasper lotus is not delicate, so there are few requirements for the soil. Only the soil can meet the basic conditions, but it must be breathable

If you want Jasper lotus to grow better, you can mix peat and perlite into the general soil. The mixing proportion can be determined according to your preference, and then add some river sand on the soil surface. If you can do the above points, I believe Jasper Lotus can spend the summer safely

4、 Other precautions

The main difference between summer and other seasons is that the high temperature leads to the decline of the corresponding cell activity frequency in the body. Therefore, this should be fully taken into account when carrying out maintenance. Control the amount and frequency of watering in humid and hot weather. Although Bi Yulian's hometown is in South Africa, it has now been transplanted into a household potted plant, which also needs careful maintenance. Pay attention to placing it in a relatively cool environment in summer
