Is it not watering to control succulents, and can t succulents be watered

Today, let's talk about succulent water control, how to control it, remember, water control is not watering.

<> if it is a newly planted succulent, due to the weak water absorption ability, it is best not to water, and then water after raising it for a period of time, otherwise it is easy to rot and waterlog.

If it is a wounded succulent, then do not water, at this time watering will delay the wound healing time, give the opportunity for germs to invade, and increase the probability of black rot water of succulents.

If the succulent leaves appear shriveled, then it is necessary to water, because the succulent itself has a strong water storage function, so watering must not be too diligent, follow the principle of "see dry and see wet".

1. Can't you water succulents?

Whether succulents can be watered or not depends on the actual situation:

1. If it is a newly planted succulent, it is best not to water, because the resistance and ability to absorb nutrients of the newly planted succulents are very poor, and they need to be maintained for a period of time to grow fibrous roots before absorbing nutrients to resume growth. If watered at this time, the succulent is prone to rot and waterlogging.

2. If the flesh is wounded, then do not water. Watering the wound as soon as it is not fully healed is likely to delay the wound healing time, which means that it gives more time and opportunity for germs to invade, greatly increasing the probability of succulent black rot water.

3. If the leaves of succulents are shriveled, then it is generally necessary to water. If the entire leaf is shriveled, it means that there is a severe lack of water. Pay attention to watering must be too frequent, succulents themselves have a strong water storage function, frequent watering is easy to cause long-term moisture of the potting soil, and eventually lead to plant root rot and difficult to continue to grow.

Generally speaking, as long as the leaves are full and stiff, they do not need to be watered.

Second, the principle of watering succulents

Succulent watering generally follows the principle of "see dry and see wet":

1. See dry: After watering once, wait until the soil surface is whitish and the surface and internal soil moisture disappears, and then water the second time, and you can't wait for the potting soil to dry for a long time before watering. Generally, you can put your finger inside the soil and feel it dry before watering.

If the inside is wet, it is not suitable for continuous watering, otherwise it is easy to cause water accumulation in the lower part of the soil, which will seriously lead to root rot.

2. Wet: Water thoroughly every time, so that the potting soil is completely wet and watered thoroughly up and down, and water until the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot seeps out, and can not be watered "half water" (that is, wet on the top and dry on the bottom). The roots of a vigorous plant are mostly concentrated at the bottom of the pot, and watering "half-watered" is actually the same as not watering.

If the succulent roots have been dried before potting, they can be watered. If you change the pot and water it after you buy it, you need to change the soil again, its root system needs to have a recovery process, the root system will lose its absorption capacity after it is damaged, and it will generally consume the bottom leaves in exchange for nutrients to re-root, and it can be watered in about a week.

Succulents should not be watered often, frequent watering will cause the soil to be too moist, and too much water can easily lead to root rot and affect growth. Succulent cultivation method: it is recommended to apply well-rotted organic fertilizer every 10 to 15 days during the growth period; Sufficient light is needed for photosynthesis during the growth process, and insufficient light causes succulent growth and development to be stunted; It is suitable for growing in soft and fertile soil, good ventilation and drainage of sandy soil.

Succulents should not be watered often Succulents are drought-tolerant and afraid of waterlogging, and frequent watering will cause the soil to be too moist, and too much water accumulation can easily lead to root rot and affect growth, so there is no need for frequent watering. It is recommended to water the succulent once a week, spring and autumn are the peak seasons for succulent growth, and the leaves should be watered again when watering, and watering immediately when the leaves begin to wilt. In summer, the succulent enters the dormant period, so it is not advisable to water too much, and the soil can be moistened with a watering can to keep the potting soil moist.

Succulent farming methods1. Frequent fertilizer application

In order to make the succulent leaves more fat and round, it is necessary to ensure that there are sufficient nutrients for their absorption during the growth period, and it is recommended to apply a well-rotted organic fertilizer every 10 to 15 days. Do not produce raw and thick fertilizer, and the amount of fertilizer should not be too much to avoid fertilizer damage. Every time you apply fertilizer, you should follow the principle of thin fertilizer and frequent application, and do not apply fertilizer during the summer dormant period to avoid root rot.

2. Sufficient light

Succulents need adequate light for photosynthesis during growth. Succulents are stunted in low-light environments, so they should be kept in a well-lit place when maintaining succulents indoors. In summer, if the sun is too strong, it is necessary to carry out shading protection in time to avoid direct sunlight, which will cause sunburn and cause leaf wilting.

3. Sandy soil

Succulent is suitable for growing in soft and fertile soil, good ventilation and drainage of sandy soil, it is recommended to use garden soil, mud and sand, organic fertilizer according to the ratio of 4:3:2 mixed preparation and cultivation, so as to promote the vigorous growth of succulents.

It is recommended to use a mud pot with a drainage hole at the bottom as a planting container, which can improve the drainage of the soil.
