How to water the velvet needles

Principle of watering velvet needles: water thoroughly when dry

Cashmere does not require much water, and too much water can easily breed disease and cause waterlogging. During the growing period, water thoroughly when the soil is dry, keep the soil in the pot dry and slightly moist, and avoid water accumulation.

Precautions for watering velvet needles in summer: reduce the amount of water

Velvet needles have a short dormancy during the high temperatures in summer. Pay attention to reducing watering to prevent root rot and the breeding of diseases and pests caused by high temperature and humidity.

Precautions for watering during the growth period of velvet needles:

The growing period of velvet needles is mainly in spring and autumn, and watering twice a month is sufficient. Too much moisture is actually not conducive to the holy war of wool needles. There is too much moisture, and the hazy feeling of the fluff is lost, making it look like sharp thorns and not so cute.

The velvet needles can continue to grow during the winter. However, the amount of water should be less than in spring and autumn. In winter, water evaporates less and the moisture in the potting soil is maintained longer.

Keep the soil in the pot dry in winter and only water it in small amounts.

The fluff of the velvet needles is very hazy under the light, making people want to touch it. The soft fur can only shine when it is raised with the right amount of water. Under the warm sunlight, it turns slightly red, allowing you to experience the fun of raising a chameleon at home.
