This article introduces the related content of succulent plants, how to water succulents in summer. Next, the editor will explain.
How to water succulents in summer has always been a problem that puzzles plant lovers. Only by observing and practicing more can you gradually find your own method. This article is the experience of a Guangdong plant lover, which is very useful for plant lovers in high-temperature and humid areas in summer.
Succulent plants can be watered freely during their growing period. Who calls Guangdong 10 months of summer and only 2 months of winter? Now is the time to do it, as long as it doesn't get leggy (ensuring lighting, which will be discussed later), water more to make the plants drink enough and grow for the next summer.
According to official statements, the most suitable temperature for succulents to grow is between 15℃-25℃, but I think 5℃-25℃ is fine. In this hot place of Guangdong, plants can only feel a bit of coolness in the short winter.
Getting back to the watering issue, if the weather forecast shows temperatures of 30℃ for a week before summer, remember to stop watering in advance!!! You must stop watering. Don't say things like whether it will dry up or not. Isn't it better to be dry than dead? When the weather is cool, you can give a little water to moisten the roots, but don't be greedy.
The best and most laborious method of watering is immersion, highly recommended! It allows the soil to absorb enough water and effectively controls the risk of rotting caused by leaf积水. However, this method is only suitable for those who have patience and time to deal with the plants. Clearly, I can't immerse each pot one by one (I've already thought of a method to immerse in bulk, and I'll share it after it succeeds).
So, my current watering method is still to pour flower wine directly, which looks simple and rough and convenient (only suitable for the growing season). However, after watering, I have to manually blow off the water accumulated in the center of each leaf, which is very tiring. But there's no choice; you can't let the leaf center accumulate water and get sunburned.
Let me mention my personal tragic experience. One summer, I couldn't help but water even though I had a fan on all night, and the plants batch-rotted, which was heartbreaking! So, you have to hold back!
If you really can't help wanting to water in summer, please choose a relatively cool night and pour a circle of water around the pot with a narrow-mouthed pot.
After stopping watering, the leaves will wrinkle, and the plants will enter a dormant state, which is normal. When autumn comes and it gets cooler, the leaves will naturally become full again as you start watering (of course, if they can survive until autumn).
