When raising succulents, watering is a very important point. If the watering method is not mastered, it is impossible to raise succulents to be strong and beautiful. Excessive watering can easily cause waterlogging and lead to root rot. Too little watering can easily cause the leaves to dry and fall off. How often should succulents be watered and how much water should be used? Let's talk about it in detail below.
1. Different seasons
Most succulents are drought-resistant, and watering needs to be determined based on air humidity and temperature. In spring, the weather is warm, and it can be watered every 2-3 days. In summer, with high temperatures, it can be watered 1-2 times a day, and water can be sprayed on the leaves and around the plant to maintain humidity at about 60%. In autumn, the temperature is cool, and it can be watered every 3-5 days, avoiding excessive watering and waterlogging. In winter, the climate is cold, and most plants enter a dormant period, growth slows down, and water should be controlled appropriately. It can be watered once every 15-20 days, or watering can be stopped.
2. Different varieties
There are many varieties of succulents, some of which prefer moist conditions, and others are drought-resistant and fear waterlogging. For succulents in the Crassulaceae family, watering needs to be determined based on the dryness of the soil, following the principle of watering when dry and watering thoroughly. Water thoroughly during the growing period and reduce watering during the dormant period. For succulents in the Aizoaceae family, less water is required. Water normally during the growing season, and when the plant enters the dormant period in summer and winter, watering should be completely stopped.
3. Weather changes
When raising succulents, attention should also be paid to weather conditions. On sunny days, watering can be done in the morning and evening. On cloudy and rainy days, water evaporates slowly, which is not suitable for watering and can easily cause waterlogging, which is not conducive to plant growth.
4. Plant size
For larger succulent plants with well-developed root systems, watering can be done every 1-2 days. For smaller plants or seedlings, the amount of watering can be reduced, watering every 3-5 days.
