Do you know about this? The correct way to water succulents and the tips for caring for them at home, let's introduce them next.
When watering succulents, it is generally watered once a week in spring and autumn, and once every 10-15 days in summer and winter, be careful not to accumulate water, and the specific watering time and method are as follows:
Time: Watering in summer should be done in the morning or evening when the weather is cool, avoiding watering at noon, while in winter, it is done at noon.
Method: Water along the edge of the pot, avoiding pouring from the top, and you can also use the immersion pot method to water, stopping when the surface of the potting soil is moist.
I. Watering Frequency
Succulents grow in different seasons, their growth status and speed vary, and thus the watering frequency is different. The temperatures in spring and autumn are suitable for succulent growth, so watering is usually done once a week during these seasons. In summer, the weather is hot and humid, and succulents usually enter dormancy, requiring less watering, once every 10 days. In winter, with low temperatures, watering can be done once every half month. Do not go too long without watering; when succulents show severe signs of dehydration, such as loss of luster, softness, and inward curling of leaves, you should water them as soon as possible.
II. Watering Time
The temperatures in spring and autumn are stable, with no significant fluctuations, so watering only requires attention to ventilation. Pay attention to the watering time in summer and winter. In summer, water in the morning or after the temperature drops in the evening, avoiding midday watering, as high temperatures can not only suffocate the roots but also easily sunburn the plants. In winter, watering should be done at noon, as the weather is quite warm, and watering will not freeze the roots, while the temperatures in the morning and evening are very low, and watering can easily freeze the roots.
III. Watering Method
When watering, you should water along the edge of the pot, not pouring from the top, because some succulent leaves have down or white powder, which can affect their ornamental value after watering and may lead to leaf rot. You can also use the immersion pot method to water, which allows water to slowly rise through the bottom holes and the roots. When using the immersion pot method, the water level should be kept below 1/2 the depth of the pot. Remove the pot when the surface of the potting soil is slightly moist, and place the potted plant in a well-ventilated environment, avoiding direct sunlight.
