#SucculentLovers Alert! Humid weather warning!
Southern US 'sauna mode has entered "steamer mode".
Humid subtropical zones (like Florida or Gulf Coast)
Southeast US 'steam bath' weather.
Is your succulent suddenly growing white "beards"?
Here’s how to diagnose and fix them!

🔍 【Aerial Root Self-Check Guide】

❶ Survival Mode Roots
👉 Pale, soft roots + air humidity >70%
✅ Signs: Common in clumping/crested varieties (e.g., Sedum rubrotinctum ‘Aurora’)
✅ Fix: Trim roots → bottom-water → improve ventilation

⚠️ Danger Alert Roots
👉 Bright red thick roots + shriveled stems
✅ Signs: Root rot/pest infestation (e.g., Sedum pachyphyllum)
✅ Fix: Unpot immediately! Behead + trim roots + repot with sterile soil

⏳ Aging Plant Roots
👉 Woody stems + base shrinkage
✅ Signs: Mature plants (5+ years, e.g., Graptopetalum paraguayense)
✅ Fix: Prune dead parts → repot in shallow planter

🌿 Summer Survival Combo
☑️ Ventilation: Run fans 4+ hrs/day (closed balconies need it most!)
☑️ Pest control: Imidacloprid 1:1000 spray (every 10 days at dusk)
☑️ Shade: 30% shade cloth/tree shade (Haworthia MUST avoid sun!)
☑️ Watering: Bottom-water > top-water (do it on cool nights <28°C)

💡 Pro Tips
❗️ Leaf freckles = sunburn "save points" (mark shaded areas)
❗️ Wrinkled stems ≠ thirst (could signal root rot!)
❗️ Top dressing: Lava rocks > pebbles (deters bugs + speeds drying)
