With the increasing popularity of indoor greenery, succulents have become a favorite in many households due to their unique beauty and ease of care. For newly planted succulents, watering is a key part of the maintenance process. Let's delve into how to water newly planted succulents correctly.
Understanding the characteristics of succulentsSucculents are plants native to arid and semi-arid regions. They have the ability to store water, which allows them to resist drought to some extent. When watering, we need to understand these characteristics to avoid overwatering or underwatering.
How to water new succulents1. Watering frequency
Newly planted succulents need special attention to watering frequency. The roots of newly planted plants have not yet fully recovered, and excessive watering can easily lead to root rot. Initially, water every 3-5 days, observe the plant's growth, and gradually adjust the watering frequency.
2. Watering time
The choice of watering time is also important. Early morning is a good time to water, as the sun is not too strong, which is conducive to the evaporation of water and reduces soil compaction caused by water evaporation. Watering at night can easily lead to root积水, increasing the risk of disease.
3. Watering method
When watering, use a fine mist喷头 or water directly onto the soil surface to avoid water directly splashing the plant. For newly planted succulents, you can use the immersion method, which involves placing the pot in a container of water and letting the water gradually seep into the soil.
4. Pay attention to observation
During the watering process, constantly monitor the growth of the succulent plant. If the leaves appear wilted and the soil is dry, water promptly. If the leaves become soft and the roots rot, it may be due to excessive watering. Stop watering immediately and take measures to improve soil aeration.
Watering newly planted succulents requires attention to frequency, time, and method, and it is important to closely monitor the plant's growth. Proper watering can help succulents grow healthily and show their unique charm.
