How often should you water your succulents?Spring and autumn are the growing seasons for succulents. When you see the soil in the pot is almost dry, you can water it once a week. In winter, you only need to water it once every 15 to 20 days. In summer, you can water it once a week, but don't water it too much. In addition, choose to water it at night and gently pour water along the wall of the pot. Generally, tap water or rice water is more appropriate. How to water succulent plants1. Observe the leaves : Observe whether the stems and leaves of succulents are plump and shiny, because under normal circumstances, the stems of succulents are bright and slightly shiny in an environment with sufficient water, but if the plant lacks water, its leaves will be obviously wrinkled and shriveled. 2. Insert a toothpick : Insert the toothpick and judge the dryness of the soil by the dryness of the toothpick, but the toothpick must be inserted along the wall of the pot to avoid damaging the root system. Precautions for watering succulent plants1. Soil dryness and wetness : Observe the color of the soil surface. If the soil surface is dry and the color changes significantly, then it is time to water it. Of course, you can also observe the condition of the succulents. If the leaves of the succulents are wrinkled and soft, then it is definitely time to water them. 2. Reduce the amount of watering in winter : Generally speaking, spring and autumn are the growing seasons for succulents. At this time, succulents begin to sprout and take root, and require a large amount of water. You need to water them more often. In summer and winter, you need to control the amount of watering, especially in winter, when succulents enter a dormant state. Just keep the soil inside the pot moist. There is no need to water too much to avoid the opposite effect. What to do if you overwater your succulents1. Excessive watering in spring and autumn If you water succulents too much, it will cause root rot in the long run, so you should let them absorb water quickly, or let the water dry as soon as possible, such as placing them in a well-ventilated place outdoors or changing the soil in the pot. 2. Excessive watering in summer and winter It is necessary to reduce the amount and frequency of watering. If you water too much, it is recommended to change the soil in time. It is not recommended because it is easy to freeze directly in a ventilated place in winter. |
