I learned that here in Northern Calif. how to water outdoor succulents during a heat wave: avoid watering when it is hotter than 85-90 degrees outside (during the day), instead water in the evening after dark when the temp is 75 or less. It’s very dry here so we don’t worry about rot. Normally I water at 6am, but I’m experimenting with watering mid-day as you suggested, Kat. Thanks so much! Bonnie
If the morning/ evening water works for you, you don’t have to change 😊Sometimes more than one approach will work. There’s so much fear mongering when it comes to midday watering in summer so i thought i’ll throw my 2c in on the topic 🙂
So I've learned from this video and experience that I have to keep a close eye on my succulents and be ready to make changes to their placement and watering as needed.
I'm in Northern California and its hot !! I must spend 45mins/day moving my little collection out of the direct sun then back again. Heat waves are a hassle !! Thanks for your info😊❤🌿
Heatwaves are the worst 😓 I'll be in the same boat in 5 months time- it's going to be brutal. Hope it's not much longer until cooler weather comes around for you 🤞🙂
once again i have to compliment on your excellent learning videos! i have been actually worried about the very things you discussed- humidity, water, small pots, and hot ad Hades ( average daytime 104 F and humidity reads 48. ). thanks again!
Thank you so much for this useful information, I have been watching all of your videos sometimes on repeat . 😊 again thank you for the education and tips you provide to helping me keep my succulents alive ❤ have a wonderful day !
Thanku for these practical tips. Here we get temperatures soaring well above 40 degrees. I water usually twice a week at night, i just take care to blow off water frm the crown esp in agavoides. I hv seen that d next day they get cooked if the water has not been removed. The rest usually fare better. Thanku
I live in Southern California and it has been over 40*C/104*F for more than a week now. I put up shade cloth on all off my plants that I planted in the ground but forgot some plants that where in pots. My aeoniums got cooked in this heat. 😞🥵 I was thinking of beheading them and see what happens.
Ohhh, that is some serious heat. I hate when the heatwave just won't bugger off 🥵 I can well imagine the Aeoniums as it happened to me as well in the past. I guess you can try and see what they do. They tend to be dormant in summer, so it may take them a while to root (sorry, hope i'm not plantsplaining what you already know 😅) If one of mine get the stems cooked in summer, i put them in a darker greenhouse with 60% shadecloth and they usually make it. Best of luck, hope a cool change is on the way for you 🙂💚
I use 30% most of the time. If the temperatures are over 40c/104f and sunny for a few days i double up and put another 30% until the heat goes down. Hope this helps 🙂

Yeah, it can be so annoying when the water doesn’t drain away from the middle 😅 it’s so hard when it goes over 40- hope you’re ok🥵

What percentage of shade cloth did you use?
I use 30% most of the time. If the temperatures are over 40c/104f and sunny for a few days i double up and put another 30% until the heat goes down. Hope this helps 🙂
