Can succulents be exposed to rain? (What to do if succulents grown outdoors are exposed to rain?)

Is it good for succulents to get caught in the rain?

In fact, succulents can definitely be exposed to rain, because rain is acidic, which is very beneficial to plant growth , but whether succulents can be exposed to rain depends on the situation.

For example, if the plant is growing healthily, it is very helpful to put it outside in the rain. Of course, in the following situations, it is best not to let the succulent plant get wet, otherwise it will easily cause the roots to rot and become waterlogged.

1. The plants should not be exposed to rain during their dormancy period in summer.

Most succulents are not resistant to high temperatures and will enter a dormant state during the high temperatures in summer. After the plants enter dormancy, various physiological activities weaken and the demand for water and nutrients decreases. At this time, you need to provide shade for them and control watering.

At this time, you should not leave it outside in the rain, and especially you should not let water accumulate in the flowerpot, otherwise the roots will easily rot.

2. Newly cut succulents should not be exposed to rain

After succulents start to grow too tall, many flower lovers will choose to "behead" them and then propagate them again through cuttings. They also usually use the pruned branches for cutting propagation.

These succulents that have just been cut should not be watered too much, and the soil in the pot should not be too wet, because the wounds have not yet completely healed and taken root, and they are more likely to rot in wet soil. So you can't let the succulents that have just been cut get wet in the rain.

3. Newly potted succulents should not be exposed to rain

For newly transplanted succulents, since the root system has not yet fully recovered normal absorption, you must also pay attention to shade when caring for them. Do not water them too frequently, and do not leave them outside in the rain.

Succulent plants can be exposed to rain. As long as the plants are in a healthy growth state, it is beneficial to their growth to let them be exposed to rain appropriately .

However, you cannot leave it exposed to the rain for a long time, otherwise it will cause the plant to grow too tall or even cause rot, so you must pay more attention to it.
