Can succulents that have just been repotted be rained on? How to properly water succulents with rain?Succulents have become a favorite of many gardening enthusiasts because of their unique appearance and low maintenance characteristics. Whether succulents that have just been repotted can be watered with rain has always been a topic of great concern. This article will reveal the mysteries of watering succulents with rain, making it easier for you to care for your succulents.
Can succulents that have just been repotted be rained on?Whether succulents that have just been repotted can be rained on is a question that concerns many gardening enthusiasts. It is not recommended for newly repotted succulents to be rained on, for the following reasons:
1. Unstable roots: Succulents that have just been repotted have roots that are not yet fully adapted to the new environment and are less stable. Being rained on can easily damage the roots, affecting the plant's growth.
2. Soil waterlogging: Being rained on increases the moisture in the soil. If the soil drainage is not good, it can easily lead to root hypoxia or even root rot.
3. Leaf diseases: Being rained on can increase the probability of leaf diseases, such as leaf spot and downy mildew, affecting the growth of succulents.
How to properly water succulents with rain?Although it is not recommended for newly repotted succulents to be rained on, proper rain can be beneficial for the growth of succulents in certain situations. Here are some correct methods for watering succulents with rain:
1. Choose the right time: Watering succulents with rain on a sunny day when the temperature is higher helps with the evaporation of water and reduces the occurrence of diseases.
2. Control the duration of the rain: The duration of being rained on should not be too long, generally controlled within 5-10 minutes, to prevent excessive water.
3. Pay attention to drainage: After being rained on, promptly check the soil drainage to ensure that the soil does not accumulate water.
4. Choose the right tool: Use a fine-mist spray bottle or sprayer to avoid direct sprinkling on the leaves, reducing the occurrence of diseases.
Newly repotted succulents are not recommended to be rained on to avoid affecting root stability and growth. However, proper rain can be beneficial for the growth of succulents in certain situations. Mastering the correct method of watering with rain can help improve the growth condition of succulents.
