How often should I water my succulents?

The frequency of watering small succulents is not fixed. Generally, they can be watered every 3-4 days in spring and autumn. In summer and winter, succulents may enter a dormant state. They can be watered once a week in summer and once every half a month in winter. You can use molten iron, fish farming water, rainwater, and rice washing water for watering.

How to water small succulent plants

1. Watering according to the soil : Watering for small succulents can be determined according to the dryness and wetness of the soil. Follow the principle of "don't water if it's not dry, and water thoroughly if you do", and the interval between each watering should not be too short.

2. Water according to the weather : The air and soil humidity are higher on rainy days, so you can water less. The water evaporates too quickly on sunny days, so you can water more appropriately. Pay attention to the daily weather.

Precautions for watering small succulent plants

1. Most small succulents are not tolerant to waterlogging. Be careful not to overwater them. The principle is to keep the plants dry rather than wet. Too much water can easily lead to root rot.

2. When watering succulents, never water from the top. Water along the edge of the pot to allow the water to penetrate slowly, and be careful not to let the water temperature be too low.

What to do if you water your succulent plants too much?

When small succulents are watered too much, the excess water needs to be drained out in time, and then a good ventilation environment is maintained and the soil is loosened appropriately. This can accelerate the evaporation of soil moisture. If the situation is serious, the pot and soil need to be changed.
