Hello everyone, I'm Xiaohua, and summer is a nightmare for succulents. If you want succulents to survive the summer smoothly, you need to take good care of them, especially watering succulents needs special attention. Many新手 gardeners are纠结, too much water for succulents in summer will kill them, too little water will also kill them, what should I do? In fact, as long as we pay attention to a few details, we can safely get through the summer. Let me, Xiaohua, elaborate on the details of succulent care in the summer.
1. Don't water if the potting soil is not dry
"Don't water if not dry" is the most basic principle of watering succulents, which should be paid more attention to in summer. Because the roots of succulents need smooth breathing. If the soil is always moist and the air between the soil particles is limited, this will cause the succulents to have difficulty breathing, coupled with the high temperature in summer. The roots of succulents are like in a steamer, and it is easy to rot, so the soil in the pot should have a process of gradually drying out, allowing the roots of succulents to have time to breathe, which is why we wait for the soil in the pot to dry before watering.
2. Don't water when there is sun
In the summer, when the sun comes out, the temperature will rise rapidly. It will be very hot in the afternoon. Watering in this environment can easily lead to the roots of the plant rotting or turning to water. Therefore, do not water succulents when there is sun in the summer.
3. Don't water if it's not ventilated
Summer is generally hot and humid. If the meat is growing in a closed, unventilated environment, it is prone to problems. If you water at this time, it will make the already sultry and humid environment even more humid, and it is also easy to cause root rot or waterlogging.
4. Don't water on rainy days
If it rains, the humidity will be high, and the water will evaporate slowly, leading to long-term moisture and poor breathability of the soil in the succulent pot. It is also prone to root rot or waterlogging.

5. Don't water if the succulent has a wound
In fact, it should be said that we should try not to let succulents get hurt in the summer, as there is a particularly high amount of bacterial breeding in the summer. Once a succulent is wounded, it is easily attacked by bacteria. If you water a wounded succulent, it will extend the healing time of the wound and greatly increase the possibility of bacterial infection.
6. Don't water if the succulent is just repotted
After the succulent plant is just taken out of the pot, the new roots basically have no ability to absorb water; and the process of root pruning and repotting will leave large or small wounds on the roots of the succulent. If you water immediately, not only can it not absorb water, but the wound exposed to water may cause rot or infection.
So what is the best time to water succulents in the summer? The answer is a sunny and windy evening when the potting soil is completely dry. It is more suitable to water at this time.
