How does the Black Mage spend the summer?

Black Mage's dormant features

When the black magic master enters a dormant period, the leaves will change rapidly. This is a reaction to lower than high temperatures, and it also tells us that it needs rest.

The leaves of the black magic master gather towards the center, and the leaves around the growth point have obvious layers. But the performance is different. Some leaf crowns will close completely, some will not, and some will rotate slightly after closing. But the common point is that the leaves gather together and the gaps become smaller.

But you still have to make a judgment about the layering of the leaves of Black Magic in other seasons. Some hybrid varieties have more leaves, and during the normal growth period, the leaves will also be clustered, so you can make a comparison when you observe.

The dormancy of Black Magic Master is the same as that of most Crassulaceae succulents, and more attention needs to be paid. This is the time when its mortality rate is the highest. At this time, the amount of water should be slowly reduced until the water is cut off. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight and should be placed in a place with good scattered light. When watering, try to wet the soil at night, but make sure it can dry the next day and pay attention to ventilation.

Generally, the black magic master enters a dormant period when the temperature reaches 30℃, and it can be awakened to a certain extent through artificial cooling. After dormancy ends, the leaves will slowly begin to grow, but at the beginning the leaves will curl up in the middle and look like a triangle. This is normal. Don't worry, it will get better slowly!
