Suitable watering temperature Not suitable watering temperatureDue to their unique shapes and vitality, succulent plants have gained considerable popularity among plant enthusiasts in recent years. Many people have questions about the care of succulents, especially watering. At what temperature is it most suitable to water succulents? This article will answer this question for you and help you take better care of your succulent plants.
Suitable watering temperatureAccording to the growth habits of succulent plants, it is most suitable to water them at temperatures between 15-25°C. Within this temperature range, succulent plants grow relatively quickly, and their water absorption and metabolism are quite active. The following temperature ranges are more suitable for watering:
1. 15-20°C: This temperature range is the golden temperature for the growth of succulent plants, where water absorption and metabolism are quite active. After watering, the evaporation speed of water is moderate, which is beneficial to the healthy growth of succulent plants.
2. 20-25°C: In this temperature range, the growth rate of succulent plants gradually accelerates. When watering, you can increase the amount of water appropriately, but avoid waterlogging and accumulation of water to prevent root rot.
Not suitable watering temperatureAlthough watering succulent plants within the suitable temperature range is beneficial for their growth, doing so in the following temperature ranges may harm the plants:
1. Below 10°C: In this temperature range, the growth rate of succulent plants will significantly slow down, and their water absorption and metabolic abilities will decrease. Watering at this time can easily lead to root rot. When the temperature is below 10°C, it is best to reduce the frequency of watering.
2. Above 30°C: In a high-temperature environment, the metabolic rate of succulent plants accelerates, and so does the evaporation rate of water. Excessive watering at this time can easily lead to waterlogging and accumulation of water, causing root rot. When the temperature is above 30°C, it is appropriate to reduce the frequency of watering.
3. Below 0°C: In a low-temperature environment, the growth of succulent plants almost stops. Watering at this time can easily lead to frostbite of the roots. When the temperature is below 0°C, stop watering and move the succulent plants to a warm indoor location.
The watering temperature is crucial for the growth of succulent plants. Watering within the suitable temperature range is beneficial for the healthy growth of succulent plants. However, doing so in unsuitable temperature ranges may cause harm. When caring for succulent plants, we should arrange watering times according to temperature changes to ensure the healthy growth of the plants.
