Today we will understand why it is wrong to consider them in this way, what are the minimum temperatures for succulents and how to protect them from the cold. ► read the full article - https://www.venditapianteonline.it/bl... ► Succulents - https://www.venditapianteonline.it/ca...

These behaviors are dictated by the variations in temperature and light they receive in their natural habitat. ► RHS Practical Cactus and Succulent Book - https://amzn.to/3v7hEtT ► Soil for Succulent Plants - https://www.venditapianteonline.it/sh... When we manage succulents and cacti as indoor plants, we provide them with a fairly stable temperature throughout the year and this risks not inducing a correct dormancy phase. So can succulents stay outside in winter? Absolutely! Observing the vegetative rest allows succulents to then resume growth with more vigor in spring, you will see that they will appear more beautiful and will give you some surprises that we will talk about later. Regardless of where we keep cacti and succulents, it is essential that they are in a position where they do not get rain: firstly because this nullifies the induction of rest and secondly, especially if combined with low temperatures, rotting can occur that is difficult to resolve. ► One plus - https://www.venditapianteonline.it/sh... ► Liquid fertilizer for succulents - https://www.venditapianteonline.it/sh... ► Biostimulants - https://www.venditapianteonline.it/ar... Euphorbiaceae and caudiciforms It is always advisable to check the minimum temperatures prescribed for the individual species punctually so as not to make mistakes before putting succulents outside in the winter. Cactaceae (cacti and thorny plants) Most of the plants that interest us most today belong to this group, which must be accompanied towards winter rest by keeping them in an environment where there is around 5°C. Where to store cacti during the cold months The ideal place to leave cacti during the winter depends a lot on where we are, in Rome, for example, these days (it's December, ed.) and the climate is very different from the foggy Po Valley in Brescia. ► read the full article - https://www.venditapianteonline.it/bl... ► Succulents - https://www.venditapianteonline.it/ca... #VivaiLeGeorgiche #Plants #MakeTheJungle #SugarPlants --------------------------------------------------------- VIVAI LE GEORGICHE - Your online nursery!
