Watering succulents is a real art, and these general tips are worth mastering

The appearance of succulents has long been favored by many people; the thick leaves give a feeling of plumpness and fullness, just like baby fat. So how long should the watering interval be for succulents? Next, let's go over a few key points.

1. How long to water. When it comes to watering succulents, there is usually no fixed watering schedule. We can water appropriately by understanding the temperature and the soil. Usually, watering is done according to the season.

2. Soil moisture. During the growing period, we water according to the moisture of the soil. As the succulent grows, when the soil is almost dry, the soil can be watered. At this point, we need to soak the soil as much as possible so that the roots can absorb it fully. Generally speaking, spring and autumn are the watering seasons, while in summer and winter the amount of water should be reduced accordingly, because at this time the succulent enters dormancy and does not need much water.

3. Choosing a pot. Choosing a pot for succulents is an important factor; we need to choose a pot of the right size to promote growth. If the pot is too small, it dries out easily and cannot meet the plant's water needs. If it is too large, the amount of water will be greater and there will be too much moisture, causing root rot, so the pot is very important.

4. Watering time. In hot summer, you can water in the morning and evening. In winter, watering is done at noon, when the temperature is relatively higher, which can effectively avoid frostbite and harm to the succulent. Succulent growth should be kept at a room temperature of about 20 degrees, so that it can grow vigorously and thrive; if the temperature is too low, it may cause dormancy or even death. Therefore, under conditions with similar temperature differences, we must water the flowers. The tap water used is usually used after filtering.

5. Watering succulents in summer. In summer, watering is usually done in the late afternoon and evening. At this time, the best watering is a moderate amount; the water can be absorbed and the plant will be safer.

In summer, watering requires more attention; the cycle generally refers to the usual watering cycle, and it is best to repeat it slightly. Under normal circumstances, observe the potted soil and water when you find it is dry. If it is a soil with poor permeability, the watering interval will be extended a little, because the soil may already be dry on the surface, but in fact its bottom is still moist. If it is a succulent that has entered dormancy, it needs less water, and some even must be given very little water.

6. How to water in summer

When watering succulents in summer, generally water along the edge of the pot with a moderate amount of water; do not pour water directly, so the water can seep in naturally. Second, use the method of soaking the flower pot; watering this way can ensure there is enough water in the succulent. This takes more time. In the evening, you can also spray the succulent, which can help keep the succulent moist and cool. When watering, be careful to avoid pouring it into the inner parts of the leaves and so on, as it is easy to make them fall off the leaves; be careful not to let water accumulate.

Succulents need a lot of water. At the seedling stage of buds, the water requirement is high. To keep the soil slightly moist, pay attention when the soil is dry and the leaves or seedlings are dry. The leaves contain a lot of water. Some herbaceous succulents, like roses, all need a lot of water to maintain their growth condition, and only by keeping the soil moisture in a good state can they thrive.

In cultivating succulents like this, the part about water is very important; water is the first priority! So everyone needs to pay careful attention during the daily planting process.
