How much water do you need to water your succulents?

1. How much to water

The roots of succulents can withstand drought conditions and do not require much water. Generally speaking, you need to wait until the soil is completely dry, and then pour water from the edge of the flowerpot downwards. There should be a little water at the bottom of the pot, and the gaps in the pot are filled. This is considered to be watered thoroughly. If the soil in the pot is relatively compacted and it is difficult to judge whether it has been watered thoroughly, you cannot water directly from above. Instead, you can use the pot immersion method. Since there are holes at the bottom of succulent pots, you can immerse the pot in water and allow the water to seep upward along the drainage holes until the soil in the pot is thoroughly moist.

2. Special Circumstances

1. It is recommended not to water the plant thoroughly immediately after repotting. Although this can make the roots fit the soil, it will easily cause the roots to rot. You can use wet soil for planting.

2. When watering succulents, you don't need to water them thoroughly all the time. When they are still small seedlings, because they have relatively few roots, it is difficult for them to absorb too much water. You can water them only a little bit every day to keep the surface moist and maintain a certain humidity. If you water thoroughly every time, there will be excess water, which will accumulate at the bottom of the pot, causing the roots to rot easily and breeding bacteria.
