December is colder month of the year, is the shortest month of illumination. This month succulents should be managed in order to heat and increase the light-based. If the local temperature suitable "winter-type species" and "intermediate" succulents can grow, and the "summer-type species" of succulents at higher temperatures due to grow, it is usually in a dormant state.

Temperature and Light: Because of colder weather this month, all of succulents should be moved indoors conservation (as local conditions may be, for example, the South is not a minimum outdoor temperature below 5 ℃, can continue to put in outdoor, but be careful seek winter eating birds against), while accepting as much sunlight. In general, "winter-type species" and "intermediate" Succulents minimum night temperature should be kept around 5 ℃, and maintain the temperature difference between day and night 6-10 ℃, in this condition, these succulents growth rate according to different varieties. If you can not maintain such a high temperature, control water make Succulents and ability to sleep 0-5 ℃ low temperature. If less than 0 ℃, most varieties of succulents are vulnerable to frost damage. "Summer-type species" Succulents should be kept 5-10 ℃, the temperature is too high will result in leggy plants, dormancy is not conducive to the growth in the coming year, the temperature is too low, although the plants will not die, but some types of succulents epidermis produce macula, the impact of viewing.

Watering: "Winter-type species" and "intermediate" Succulents above 10 ℃ can meet the growth needs regular watering. But the water is not too large, the water temperature should not be too low and the ambient temperature is similar appropriate. Watering only 10-12 in the sunny morning. North square area if indoor heating, air is too dry, which is slightly higher air humidity twelve volumes of the plants grow very negative, may be appropriate to spray the plants to increase air humidity, avoid dry leaf tip. "Summer-type species" Succulents grid will have to control the water level in some varieties even without water.

Fertilization: Fertilization is generally not this month, if the insulation facilities have sustained warm environment to grow strong "winter-type species" and "intermediate" succulents can also be applied to some thin fat, but not excessive so as to avoid fertilizer damage.
