3. Appropriate watering: Succulents grow slowly in winter, and watering should be moderate to avoid积水 that can cause root rot.

Control watering frequency

1. The temperature is low in winter, and succulents grow slowly. Reduce the watering frequency, generally once every 10-15 days.

2. Choose to water in the middle of the day when the temperature is higher to allow the water to evaporate and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

3. Check the soil moisture promptly after watering to avoid积水.

Prevent and control pests and diseases

Trim appropriately
