Many beginners often encounter improper watering issues during the care process, leading to poor growth or even death of the succulents. This article will introduce you to the correct watering methods for peach flesh succulents, helping you easily cultivate strong and healthy plants.
Understanding the growth habits of peach flesh succulentsPeach flesh succulents are native to Africa, thriving in warm and dry environments, and are intolerant to cold and humidity. When watering, we need to fully understand their growth habits to achieve scientific watering.
Choosing the right watering toolThe choice of watering tools is crucial for the care of succulents. It is recommended to use a thin-mouthed spray bottle or a special succulent watering pot, which can prevent water from directly splashing onto the leaves and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
Mastering the watering frequencyPeach flesh succulents have relatively low water requirements, and the watering frequency should be adjusted according to the season, temperature, and soil moisture. Here is the general watering frequency:
1. Spring: Water 1-2 times a week, keeping the soil slightly moist.
2. Summer: With higher temperatures and faster water evaporation, water once a day.
3. Autumn: As temperatures gradually decrease, the watering frequency can be slightly reduced, watering 1-2 times a week.
4. Winter: With lower temperatures and slower water evaporation, the watering frequency can be reduced, watering 1-2 times a month.
Watering methods1. When watering, try to do it in the morning or evening to avoid direct sunlight.
2. Water evenly to ensure that every corner of the soil can absorb moisture.
3. After watering, check the soil moisture in time to avoid waterlogging or drought.
Note the watering mistakes1. Do not water frequently: Succulent plants are not tolerant to waterlogging, and frequent watering can lead to root rot.
2. Do not water directly on the leaves: Water splashing directly on the leaves can easily lead to disease occurrence.
3. Do not water under the scorching sun: Watering under the hot sun can cause leaf burn.
