☀️🌵 Heat Wave Coming? Your Succulents Need a Little Extra Care! 🌵☀️
With temperatures climbing into the 100s, here are a few simple tips to help keep your succulents looking their best.
💧 Water Early in the Morning
Water before the heat of the day so the roots have time to absorb moisture before it evaporates.
🪴 Check the Soil First
Only water when the soil is dry. Succulents don't like sitting in wet soil, but they may need water a little more often during extreme heat.
☂️ Protect from Intense Afternoon Sun
If your succulents are in pots, move them to a spot with afternoon shade. For plants in the ground, consider using shade cloth during the hottest part of the day.
🔥 Watch for Signs of Heat Stress
Wrinkled leaves, sunburn spots, or drooping can all be signs your plants need a little extra attention.
🌬️ Don't Repot During Extreme Heat
Wait until temperatures cool down to avoid putting additional stress on your plants.
🏺 Potted Plants Dry Out Faster
Containers can heat up quickly, so be sure to check them more often than plants growing in the ground.
🌿 Nursery Hours During Extreme Heat
For the safety of our customers, staff, and plants, we will close early on days when temperatures are expected to exceed 100°F. We'll post any changes to our hours on our social media pages, so be sure to check before heading out.
Stay cool, stay hydrated, and don't forget to check on your plants! 💚
