I live in east central Georgia,Close to Atlanta.Currently we are having temp in the 3 digits it's 104 now,The high is suppose to be 108.There is a heat advisory as well as an active notice of record reported ozone action.They're advising some people to stay inside because of the air quality.Today is the beginning of this heat wave,it's only going to get hotter.
I know succulents like full sun & can take the heat,but this is very hot temp's and you take into account the heat index it raises temps for us.But a lot of plants like humidity.How does the humidity with plants work? How will the succulents hold up under the high temps & humidity?Isn't their natural habitat hot & dry without the humidity
In my current conditions i am watering my succulents in small pots every 2 days to keep them going.The ones in larger pots I am having a hard time knowing when to water.The leaves on my elephant bush started turning yellow & the leaves are soft and are wrinkled so I watered it. It does seem the elephant bushes are having the hardest time,they need more water and the leaves are turning yellow and falling off.The jades seem ok, they to dry out in 2 days or less but it doesn't seem to be affecting them yet, they get water every 3-4 days..Do i need to soak these plants?literally in a bucket let them sit to soak up water for 3-5 minutes,instead of pouring water into the pot because I'm not sure the water isn't running down the sides between medium & pot.
Sorry i babble
thank you all for any help or advice or even a good web site of info that'll help!!
