Succulents are more afraid of waterlogging. Especially in the rainy season, it is easy to suffer from black rot due to moisture and other reasons when growing in the open, so some preventive measures need to be taken. The first step is to build a rain shelter to prevent the plants from getting wet. Then stop watering during the rainy season to prevent it from getting too wet. Secondly, ventilation should be strengthened to accelerate the evaporation of water. If it has been exposed to rain, it is necessary to loosen the soil and drain it to avoid water accumulation and flooding the roots.

1. Build a rain shelter

Succulent plants are more afraid of waterlogging. They are prone to black rot after being exposed to rain, which has a great impact on the growth of the plants. You can put a shelter over the plant to protect it from rain. However, it should be removed in time after sunny days to prevent the plants from receiving light.

2. Stop watering

Since the air in the rainy season is relatively humid and the succulent itself has a very good water storage capacity, it is not short of water. In addition, the evaporation rate in the rainy season is slow, and the pot soil remains wet for a long time after watering, which is easy to breed bacteria and is detrimental to early growth.

3. Strengthen ventilation

Rainy The weather can easily breed bacteria, and long-term absence from light will also reduce the resistance of succulents. In order to prevent it from being infected by various diseases and insect pests, it is necessary to strengthen the ventilation of the environment.

4. Loose soil and drainage

If there is no rain protection, the soil of the exposed succulent will be too wet and even water will form. The accumulated water needs to be drained out promptly to prevent it from flooding the roots. At the same time, loosen the soil after the rain stops to accelerate the evaporation of water and reduce the possibility of bacterial growth.
