May in late spring and early summer is very suitable for the growth of succulent plants. The temperature is suitable, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the sunshine time is long. It is the peak season for the growth of succulent plants.
Especially represented by "summer type" succulent plants, many species such as longwangqiu, Jinlong and meihuajiao of cactus family bloom this month.
Stone lotus, black mage, simple leaf flower moon, sunset goose of Rhodiola family, lying cattle and dinosaurs of aloe family, longevity of some varieties, etc; "Intermediate" succulent plants also grew vigorously during this period;
While the "winter type" succulent plants such as stone flower, bulb, spring peach jade and anzhen of the apricot family, xindongni, moonlight, snow lotus and Dongyun of the Sedum family, and scale celery, spring grass, wide leaf spring grass and other "winter type" succulent plants of the hyacinth family grow slowly due to the rise of temperature, and even stop growing in the south area with high temperature.
Therefore, the management of succulent plants this month should be carried out according to different species.
Light for planting and management of succulent plants in May:
"Summer type" succulent plants such as Huishan, jiacrab and Thor of Agave family and "summer type" succulent plants such as longwangqiu and Jinhu of cactus family and "intermediate type" succulent plants such as yanrihui and Huoji of Jingyao family can be maintained outdoors in sufficient sunshine, which can make the plants strong and beautiful in color. If the light is not enough, it is easy to cause fleshy plants, loose plant types, and some fleshy plants with beautiful colors will become dim or even disappear. The "intermediate" varieties of aloe family, such as Yulu, Winter constellation and Ruihe, can be properly shielded from light to avoid strong sunlight burning the leaves and affecting the growth, but they should not be too shaded to avoid loose plant type, brittle leaf quality and easy to break due to lack of light; "Winter type species" such as raw stone flower, Vientiane, jade fan and snow lotus can be maintained in places with bright light and no direct sunlight. The plants placed indoors should be well ventilated to avoid steaming the beloved "meat" in the muggy air. There is a lot of rain in May, and the meat cultivated outdoors should avoid long-term rain, otherwise it is easy to cause rotten roots and even black spot caused by ponding in the basin soil. It should also be careful that the strong light will sunburn the meat and even cause black rot after the rain.
Watering of succulent plant planting management in May:
For the fleshy in the growing period, the soil micro tide can be maintained. For example, the basin soil is dry and water deficient for a long time, the plant will not die, but the growth level is slow, or even stop growing, and the leaves shrink and have no luster, which seriously affects the viewing. When watering, be sure to water thoroughly. It is best to water until the water flows out from the drainage hole under the bottom of the flower pot. In this way, the salt in the soil can be washed away to avoid its adhesion to the root system and affect the growth of meat at noon. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid ponding in the basin soil, so as not to cause rotten roots. For the "winter type" succulent plants such as emperor jade, Vientiane, jade fan and bear boy that are about to dormant, although the plant growth has not completely stopped, it is very slow and the water required is not much, so it is necessary to properly control the watering and keep the basin soil semi dry. Twelve roll plants of aloe family and some varieties of cactus plants have certain requirements for air humidity. When the climate is thousands of operations, inject exhausted water to the plants to increase the air humidity, which can make them more colorful. It should be noted that there is a lot of rain in May. Watering can be postponed in rainy and humid weather, so as to avoid the growth of meat due to excessive water, cloudy weather and insufficient light.
Fertilization of succulent plant planting management in May:
The growing "summer type" succulent plants can be fertilized according to different varieties; For the dormant "winter type species", fertilization should be stopped. Even the same type of succulent plants should choose whether to apply fertilizer or not according to different varieties and individual differences. In short, fast-growing plants should apply more fertilizer, while slow-growing plants should apply less fertilizer or even no fertilizer. The fertilizer can be AOLV A2 slow-release fertilizer or some rotten fertilizer with small fertilizer damage.
Disease control of succulent plant planting management in May:
The climate is suitable this month, and pests are also beginning to be active. Attention should be paid to prevention and control. We should also improve the ventilation conditions of the fleshy cultivation environment to prevent abnormal yellow spots, black spots, robe spots and other physiological diseases caused by infection with bacteria. If found, we should spray bactericidal drugs in time to prevent and control, so as not to expand the scope of infection.
