Watering principles after planting succulents Standard for judging whether they need watering. Succulent plants watering precautions due to their unique form and low-maintenance characteristics, succulent plants have become the focus of many plant lovers. For novices, how to properly take care of succulents, especially whether they need to be watered immediately after planting, often becomes a problem. This article will answer this question in detail and help you better maintain your succulents. Principles for watering after planting succulent plants 1. Watering timing Succulent plants usually do not need to be watered immediately in the first few days after planting. This is because the root system will be damaged to a certain extent during the transplanting process of the plant. Immediately watering may cause the root system to be unable to absorb water normally, but aggravate the damage.
2. Watering method After determining the watering timing, the watering method is also crucial. It is recommended to use the "dipping pot method", which means putting succulent plants into a pot filled with water to allow the roots to naturally absorb water. This method can avoid directly watering the leaves and reduce the occurrence of diseases. Criteria for judging whether watering is needed 1. Observe the soil After planting succulent plants, you can judge whether watering is needed by observing the dryness and dryness of the soil. It is more appropriate to water after the soil surface is dry.
2. Observe that the leaves of succulent plants will wilter when they lack water. Water is needed in time at this time. However, if the leaves are too full, it means that the soil moisture is sufficient and there is no need to water for the time being. Precautions for watering succulent plants 1. Avoid excessive watering succulent plants are not resistant to waterlogging. Excessive watering will cause root rot. When watering, the amount of water must be controlled to avoid accumulation of water.
2. Choose a suitable water source. Tap water contains more chlorine. Long-term use may cause harm to succulent plants. It is recommended to use filtered or dried water for watering.
3. Pay attention to seasonal changes. The watering needs of succulent plants in different seasons are different. Summer temperatures are higher and water evaporates quickly, so watering frequency needs to be increased; winter temperatures are lower and water evaporates slowly, so watering can be appropriately reduced.
Whether it is necessary to water immediately after planting succulent plants is a matter of concern. Based on the above principles and precautions, we can conclude that in the first few days after planting, it is usually not necessary to water immediately, but rather observe the dryness and dryness of the soil and leaves, water them in a timely manner, pay attention to avoid excessive watering, choose the appropriate water source, and adjust the watering frequency according to seasonal changes.
