Succulent plants are loved by plant enthusiasts for their unique shapes and low-maintenance characteristics. Improper watering is often the main cause of death in succulents. Is there a type of succulent that can survive even if overwatered? This article will reveal those succulents that won't die from overwatering and how to care for them properly.
What are the succulents that won't die from overwatering?1. Snake Plant: The snake plant is a highly resilient succulent with strong drought resistance. It can survive even if not watered for a long time, but it does need moderate watering during the growing season to maintain its vigorous growth.
2. Sempervivum: The leaves of sempervivum are crystal clear and have high ornamental value. It does not require much water and can recover quickly even if overwatered, but it is important to note that sempervivum is not cold-tolerant and needs to be moved to a warm environment during winter.
3. Lithops: Lithops is a typical succulent with strong drought resistance. In dry environments, lithops can survive on its own water storage ability, and it can recover in a short time even if overwatered.
4. Red Cane: The succulent leaves of red cane are bright red and have high ornamental value. It requires more water but has strong stress resistance and can recover in a short time even if overwatered.
How to properly care for succulents that won't die from overwatering?1. Control watering: Although succulents that won't die from overwatering have strong stress resistance, excessive watering can still lead to root rot. It is important to control the amount of water and avoid waterlogging.
2. Choose the right soil: Succulents that won't die from overwatering do not have high requirements for soil, but it is best to choose well-draining sandy soil to facilitate root respiration.
3. Maintain ventilation: A good ventilation environment helps the growth of succulents and prevents the occurrence of diseases and pests.
4. Fertilize appropriately: During the growing season, apply a moderate amount of compound fertilizer to promote the growth of succulents.
5. Pay attention to lighting: Succulents that won't die from overwatering require more light and should be placed in a sunny location.
Although succulents that won't die from overwatering have strong stress resistance, attention should still be paid to proper watering, soil, ventilation, fertilization, and lighting during the care process. Through scientific care, these succulents will bring you endless enjoyment.
