How to make a succulent summer in the hot summer?

Although succulent plants are drought resistant, an overheated environment can also affect their survival rate. Generally speaking, the high temperature in summer is enough to affect the survival rate of succulent plants, with a mortality rate of within 10%. The mortality rate of succulent plants taken before April is even lower. Do the following to spend the summer without worries~
1. After April, stop buying succulent plants. The drawbacks of buying succulent plants in summer are that they are more likely to die and become ugly, and their recovery is slower. The benefits are that after the addiction to buying succulent plants, it feels like buying them in summer is not much cheaper. On the contrary, in autumn, there are more choices and prices are not too expensive.
2. It is important to do a good job of shading and rain protection, especially rain protection. It can not only reduce black rot and disease, but also prevent excessive exposure to rainwater from spreading out and turning green. It's okay to occasionally eat some drizzle when watering. The succulent plants on the rooftop have a shading rate of 50%, and I bought a fabric that integrates shading and rain protection.
3. Before April, the succulent plants that were taken into the pot were not watered, but I used a grounding method. I watered the sand under the mat (with a thickness of about 2 centimeters, replacing sand with Hinata Stone Maifanshi), and the increase in water vapor indirectly watered the succulent plants. At the same time, it induced roots. After 2 months of grounding, most of the roots drilled out from the bottom hole of the pot, and personally tested the grounding method, which was very effective!! I hope everyone can use it
4. Apply medication frequently. Usually, it is sprayed before or after continuous rainy days, and succulent plants must be sprayed after eating the rain. When succulent plants are potted, they are buried with small blue powder, and there have been no insects. Antibacterial drugs: Daisen manganese zinc and Amimiao alternate.
5. Varieties that are not good for summer: Peach Egg (leaves tend to grow long, and strong light can cause death. Insufficient light can cause elongation), Peach Green (said to be afraid of heat and needs to be kept in a cool place, while mine is hung in the dog days), Ice Jade (summer is not difficult, mainly not to buy in the summer, except for old piles)
6. Successful summer varieties: Chihuahua, Silhouette, Pink Bluebird, Angsino, Orange Monroe, Peach, White Phoenix, Lotus, Helena, Ice Jade, Spotted Deer, Brilliant, Xiuyan, Dumpling Skin, Red Pink Beauty, Hera, Arenpei
