Succulents have become a favorite among many due to their unique shapes and vitality. During the maintenance process, many enthusiasts encounter the issue of overwatering unestablished succulents. When succulents are overwatered before they are established, how should we handle the situation properly? This article will provide you with detailed answers.
Understanding the reasons for overwatering unestablished succulents1. Recent transplantation: During the transplantation process, the roots of succulents can suffer some damage. If excessive water is given at this time, it can easily lead to root hypoxia, thus affecting establishment.
2. Growing environment: If the growing environment of succulents is too humid, it can also lead to overwatering before establishment.
Handling methods for overwatered unestablished succulents1. Stop watering: When you find that unestablished succulents have been overwatered, you should immediately stop watering to prevent further damage to the roots.
2. Control watering frequency: During the establishment period of succulents, the watering frequency should be reduced appropriately, generally watering once a week is sufficient.
3. Ventilation: Maintaining good ventilation in the growing environment of succulents is beneficial for root recovery.
4. Shading: During the establishment period, shading appropriately can reduce the growth rate of the plant, which is beneficial for root recovery.
5. Check the roots: During the establishment period, regularly check the roots of the succulents, and promptly remove any rotting or blackened roots.
Prevention methods for overwatering unestablished succulents1. Choose suitable succulents: When purchasing succulents, select plants with healthy roots and good growth conditions.
2. Appropriate transplantation method: When transplanting succulents, minimize root damage as much as possible, and methods such as "soilless transplantation" can be used.
3. Pay attention to soil breathability: Choosing soil with good breathability is beneficial for root respiration.
4. Control watering: During the growth of succulents, water should be given rationally based on the dryness or moisture of the soil.
