Do I need to water after a fleshy transplant?
The watering management of succulent plants after transplantation is directly related to the survival rate of the plants, especially the water control during the slow seedling stage is the key to maintenance. This article will combine the root repair mechanism to analyze in detail the scientific watering strategy after fleshy transplantation. Analysis of watering timing for fleshy transplantation 1.1 Characteristics of root dormancy period Within 3 days after transplantation, fleshy is in the root repair period, and the capillary root damage rate can reach 80%. At this time, watering will cause secondary damage. Plants maintain metabolism by consuming nutrients from their own leaves, and soil moisture needs to be kept completely dry. 1.2 When new aerial roots appear on the fourth day of the turning point of water demand, they enter the sensitive period of water demand. At this time, pouring 10ml of inducing water along the basin wall can stimulate root development. Use a pointed spout pot to accurately control water and prevent water from contacting the main stem. Four-step scientific watering 2.1 Environmental adaptation principles Keep the air humidity at 60% in spring and autumn to delay the first watering time. In summer, high temperatures need to be sprayed in the evening to cool down, and in winter, it needs to be used with a fill light. Use the bamboo stick test method: Insert the pot into the soil for 2 hours and observe that there is no moisture before watering. 2.2 The progressive water replenishment plan is divided into three stages of water supply during the basin service period: 15ml is poured along the basin every 3 days in the first week, increased to 30ml in the second week, and the routine thorough watering method is resumed in the third week. When used together with 101 Activator, it can increase the efficiency of hair roots by 40%. Season and environment adjustment strategy It is necessary to erect a rainproof canopy in the rainy season, and stop watering when the air humidity is greater than 75% in the rainy season. Using a mixed medium of red jade soil + volcanic rock (ratio 3:1) can improve drainage performance by 30%. The dipping basin method is used for high temperatures in summer, the water level is controlled at 1/5 of the basin height, and the dipping time does not exceed 20 seconds.
By accurately grasping the water demand curve after multi-meat transplantation, combined with the application of intelligent monitoring tools, the survival rate can be increased to more than 95%. Keep in mind the basic principle of "better dry than wet" and cooperate with environmental control to cultivate healthy and plump succulent plants.
