Autumn is already deep, and the wind is gradually turning cool! When it comes to watering succulents in autumn, it is a big challenge! People also easily fall into watering mistakes. How to avoid these mistakes? Today Yatou will explain them to everyone!

1. Succulents do not like water

This should be something many people who grow succulents know! Succulents not only dislike water, but also dislike waterlogged conditions even more. It is not that every time the leaves look wilted, they are short of water and about to die. The watering principle for succulents is to prefer dry over wet. As long as the soil is still moist, and as long as the leaves are still relatively plump, there is no need to water! Of course, if the soil is slightly dry, the sunlight should not be too strong either. Water and sunlight should work together so they can grow better!

2. How much water to give

This is a big question, and there are many small details involved, such as when to water and how long the watering cycle should be! Many friends cannot control the amount well when watering. Sometimes it is like a light touch, only wetting the surface of the soil. What use is that! So the watering cycle becomes very short, because the soil surface dries quickly, but what you do not know is that the roots have not come into contact with water even once. That is what you call frequent watering!

3. Strictly controlling watering time

Some succulent growers have obsessive habits, mainly shown by picking off leaves as soon as they turn yellow, watering as soon as the pot dries out, and even controlling the watering time precisely. For example, they will definitely water on time every Monday! But have you asked whether the succulents need it? If the obsession is severe, they may even plan what time every week to water! This method is not advisable, because affected by the environment, the time for water evaporation and absorption is different each time, and the amount of water plants need is also different.

4. Watering casually

Some people like to keep the watering can nearby all the time, check how the succulents are growing every few days, and water casually along the way, completely ignoring what the succulents' growth condition is like! If your succulents do not die, whose will!
