How often should you water your succulents?

When watering succulents, you must follow the principle of "watering when the soil is dry and watering when the soil is wet". You should water more during the growing period. Relatively speaking, acidic water is more suitable for the growth of succulents. For example, molten iron, fish farming water, rice washing water, tea water, etc. can all be used to water succulents. They are all very beneficial to succulents.

1. Watering in spring

The climate in spring is suitable, and it is also the peak growth period for succulents. As long as the air is not too dry, you only need to water it once every 3-5 days.

2. Watering in summer

Although the temperature is high in summer, most succulents will enter a dormant period at this time, and the water in their bodies is not easily lost, so they only need to be watered once every 10 days or so.

3. Watering in autumn

If the climate is mild in autumn and the air is neither dry nor too dry, you only need to water the plants once every 7 days. In early autumn, you can also water them once every 4 days.

4. Watering in winter

If the temperature is too low in winter, the growth of succulents will gradually stagnate. At this time, the frequency of watering should not be too high, and watering once every half a month or so is sufficient.

Precautions for watering succulent plants

1. The watering frequency of succulents is different in different seasons. There is no fixed watering frequency. It needs to be flexibly adjusted according to soil and weather conditions. Be careful not to overwater during the seedling stage.

2. When watering succulents, it is best not to water from the top and do not let the leaves get wet. It is best to water along the edge of the pot.
