How to water succulent plants?
1. Succulent plants rely on their roots to absorb nutrients, so the soil they use is usually soft peat soil. When watering them, the amount of water should be controlled to maintain a dry-wet balance.
2. The standard for "dry" is: wait until the soil surface turns white and the water in the surface and inner soil has been absorbed before the second watering; the standard for "wet" is: water thoroughly until water seeps out from the bottom drainage hole of the pot.
3. Spring is the growing season for succulents, with a high demand for water. Water should be applied when the soil is dry and not when it's not dry. During the growing season, more sun exposure and the use of some potassium fertilizer can help the succulents grow.
4. When planting succulents, avoid using pots that are too large or too deep to prevent the soil from drying out for several days after watering, which can lead to积水 at the roots and stems. It's better to use small pots with a diameter of about 6-8 centimeters, and repot the succulents when they have grown to a certain extent.
How to determine whether it's time to water the succulents?
1. When the leaves of the succulent plant start to wrinkle slightly, it's time to water it.
2. When the weight of the pot becomes lighter, it's necessary to water the succulent, just the right amount.
3. You can insert a toothpick into the pot. Each time you water, pull out the toothpick. If the toothpick is dry, it means there is no moisture in the soil, and immediate watering is needed.
4. If not watered for a long time, the potting soil will turn white. Water when the surface stones are not completely dry.
