How often is it better to water succulents?

Prepare a toothpick like this or a cotton swab stick like this and stick it into the soil at the edge of the succulent pot! If this swab stick is wet, then it means that the succulent does not need to be watered at this time, and if the swab stick is dry, it means that it can be watered. And when the leaves with many bottoms start to soften, it means that it is also time to water it.

Watering the succulent is generally 1-2 times a week, not too often. After the temperature rises, you can water more, and it is okay to water once every 2-3 days. The temperature in autumn and winter will continue to decrease, and in late autumn it is necessary to reduce the number of watering, which can be watered every 5-7 days, and in winter, it should be watered once every half month.

The specific watering time can be determined according to the dryness of the soil, and do not water when it is not dry.

Succulents are watered once every 6 days in spring and autumn, once every 4 days in summer when the temperature is high, and once every 10 days in winter.

Succulents can be watered once every 5-7 days in spring and autumn, watered once every 4-5 days when the temperature is high in summer, and watered every 10 days in winter, and watering succulents, use rainwater, molten iron, tea, rice water, flood irrigation along the edge of the pot, moisten all the soil, and spray water mist to moisturize all around when the climate is dry.

Seedlings should be watered more frequently, and the amount should be less each time; Adult plants are watered moderately frequently, thoroughly each time. Older plants are watered infrequently and thoroughly each time.

Breeding Method:

Succulents are easier to reproduce because of their well-developed meristems. The commonly used methods include grafting, cuttings, sowing, root cuttings, branching, leaf cuttings, and interception of growth points, among which seeding and propagation are more common in Apricot family. Leaf cuttings have the highest efficiency in the reproduction of Sedumaceae and are adopted by most people. Intercepting the growth point was most suitable for succulents of the genus Var. Grafting propagation is the most widely used in the cactus family.

In spring and autumn, the climate in spring and autumn is mild, and the succulent is in the vigorous growth period, and it can be watered every 3 or 4 days; In summer, the temperature is high in summer, which can ensure that the soil is in a dry state and avoid the condition of wilting and shrinking leaves; In winter, the evaporation rate of water is slow in the low temperature environment of winter, and it can be watered every half month. Precautions: Tap water can be dried for 2 to 3 days before being used for watering.

In spring and autumn, the climate is mild, succulent is in the vigorous growth period, watering needs to ensure that the water is sufficient, so that the potting soil is in a moist state, generally every 3 4 days can be watered. Be careful not to splash water on the leaves during the watering process, otherwise the succulent leaves will rot and blacken.

In summer, when temperatures are high and water evaporates quickly, succulents are in a dormant period. And the succulent itself has a certain drought tolerance, during which the demand for water is small, which can ensure that the soil is in a dry state and avoid overwatering, resulting in the wilting and shrinking of the succulent leaves, which makes the overall ornamental decrease.

During the winter months, when the temperature is at its lowest, the succulents are also dormant, and the growth rate is very slow during this period, so the water demand is small. You can water 1 or 2 times a month to ensure that the soil is in a moist but not wet state.

When watering the succulent daily, it is necessary to ensure that the water quality is clean and hygienic, and the tap water can generally be dried for 1 2 days, and then used for watering after the chlorine in the water is completely volatilized. And in the cloudy and rainy season, it is necessary to stop watering, and after finding that the soil produces water, it is necessary to stop watering in time and transfer it to a ventilated environment for maintenance, so that the moisture of the potting soil can dry as soon as possible.

1. Spring and autumn: Succulents contain a lot of water inside, and the drought tolerance is relatively strong, so you don't need to water it too often. The exact frequency depends on the season.

2. Summer and winter: The temperature in summer and winter is high or too low, and the succulents basically stop growing in these two seasons, and will enter the dormant stage, and the water demand is very small, so watering should be reduced. It is usually watered once every 15 to 20 days.

If the temperature is higher than 33 degrees or lower than 5 degrees, the water should be strictly controlled, and it should only be watered once a month or so. When watering, you should also water a small amount along the edge of the pot to avoid stagnant water.

Precautions for raising succulents:

1. Light. Succulent sun-loving, daily maintenance to let the succulent sun, if the light is insufficient, the succulent will become green and long, if the light is sufficient, the succulent will be colored out of the state, but the scorching sun in summer should be properly shielded to avoid the succulent being sunburned, in addition, Yulu, Shou such succulents are more afraid of the sun, except for winter, other seasons should be properly shaded.

2. Temperature. Most of the succulents are more frost-resistant, as long as the maintenance temperature is above 5 in winter, the succulents can safely overwinter, usually, as far as possible to give the succulents a large temperature difference between day and night, under the premise that frost does not hurt the succulents, as far as possible to reduce the temperature of the maintenance environment, so that the succulents can quickly color out of the state.

3. Watering. Succulents do not have a high demand for water, usually the most afraid of watering too often, otherwise the soil is waterlogged, succulent roots rot in minutes, black rot, usually in spring and autumn, you can wait for the succulent soil to dry and water thoroughly, summer and winter succulent dormant period, to properly control water or even cut off water, so that succulents can safely spend summer and winter.

4. Fertilization. Succulents do not have a high demand for fertilizer and water, novice meat is not recommended to fertilize, otherwise a careless fattening, it will outweigh the losses, if you want to fertilize the succulents, you can change the pot every spring, mix some slow-release fertilizer into the soil at the bottom of the pot.

Succulents are usually watered every week in spring and autumn, and every 15 to 20 days in summer and winter.

1. Spring and autumn:Spring and autumn are the peak growing seasons for succulents, which consume more water and are usually watered every week to meet the need for water and promote faster growth. Watering thoroughly every time.

2. Summer and winter:In summer and winter, when the temperature is too high or too low, the growth of succulents basically stops, and water needs to be controlled. Usually poured once every 15 to 20 days.

If the temperature is higher than 33 degrees or lower than 5 degrees, you can pour it once a month or so.

Succulent watering precautions

1. Pay attention to the soil condition

Succulents are not short of water, the most reflective is the soil, the soil can not be too dry, or the succulent will lack water, and without fate and water accumulation, the growth can not be good. However, the soil should not be too wet, which can easily lead to water accumulation in the potting soil, root rot, and succulent dead plants in severe cases.

2. Watering depends on the season

Succulent watering is not constant throughout the year, it needs to change according to the time and season, for example, many succulent growing seasons are autumn and need to be watered more, while summer is in the dormant period and needs less watering, and winter and spring depend on the growth of the plant.
