Sunlight
While succulents love sunlight, too much direct exposure during scorching summer days can lead to sunburn. Provide filtered or partial sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day. A location with morning sun and afternoon shade can be ideal.
-
Watering
Succulents can dry out faster in the heat, but be cautious not to overwater. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry completely between watering sessions.
-
Air Circulation
Ensure good air circulation around your succulents. This can help prevent issues like fungal infections, especially in humid conditions.
-
Heat
Protect succulents from extreme heat by providing shade or moving them to slightly cooler spots if temperatures become excessively high.
-
Pots & Soil
Use pots with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. A well-draining soil mix, specifically designed for succulents or cacti, works best.

Pests and Diseases
Regularly inspect plants for pests such as aphids and mealybugs. Look for signs like discoloured leaves, sticky residue, or webbing. If you detect pests, treat your plants promptly to prevent the infestation from spreading to others.
