Temperature: Succulents prefer a warm environment. The most suitable temperature is within the range of 15 to 20 degrees. Growth will basically stagnate when the temperature is below 10 degrees. You can cover it with film to keep it warm, and pay attention to shading in summer. Moisture: It has a certain degree of drought tolerance. Water when the pot soil is dry to avoid water accumulation in the soil. Ventilation: Remember to ventilate during hot or humid summer seasons.

The first is its temperature requirements. As we mentioned above, its original planting area was in Africa, that is, in the tropics. For this reason, it prefers a warmer environment. . Although it has a certain degree of cold resistance, if the temperature drops to ten degrees Celsius or below, its growth will basically be at a standstill, and too low a temperature will cause cells containing a lot of water to be necrotic due to frost. So, at this point we understand that special care is needed in winter.

The following is water. It does not have high water requirements and has a certain degree of drought tolerance, but it will not survive if it is not watered for a long time, and its leaves will shrink. But another thing to note is that it is particularly afraid of waterlogging, so water accumulation in the soil should be avoided.

Then there is ventilation, which is very necessary.

Temperature: above It has already been mentioned, and here is another point to add, that is, its most suitable temperature is within the range of 15 to 20 degrees. Let’s mainly talk about winter processing. Of course, the first step is to put it indoors for maintenance. Although the temperature cannot be kept within a suitable range, it must be at least 12 degrees or above, so that it can survive the winter safely. If the temperature cannot be guaranteed, other insulation measures may also need to be taken, such as covering films.

Moisture: We need to deal with this factor scientifically. We can neither skip watering nor allow too much water to accumulate in the soil. To achieve this goal, we generally choose to wait until the soil is dry before watering. In addition, the container also requires good drainage.

Ventilation: Especially in the high temperature or humid seasons in summer, ventilation is a must.
