How to water succulents and how often to water them

1. Watering method

1. For newly planted succulents, their root systems have not yet fully grown and there will be a certain amount of moisture in the planting soil, so do not water them too much. Usually, it is sufficient to just moisten the surface of the soil without watering it thoroughly.

2. For succulents with complete root systems, we need to water them thoroughly. If we stop watering halfway for a long time, it will be very detrimental to their growth. When watering, pour the water into the soil, not the roots or the leaves of the plant.

3. Secondly, water the plants on rainy days. Generally, you don’t need to water too much during the rainy season. When it rains, the air is very humid and the moisture in the soil cannot evaporate. You can replenish water after the rain stops for a while, otherwise the moisture cannot evaporate and the roots will easily rot.

2. Watering frequency

When watering succulents, the most scientific watering method is not to fix the watering time. You should wait until the growing soil becomes dry before replenishing water again. The weather is very good in spring and autumn, and you can water it once every three days. In summer and winter, it will temporarily stop growing, so it is best to water it once a week or half a month. The watering time should also be changed in different seasons.
