How to water succulents
1. Don’t water too much. Unlike other plants, succulents don’t need so many nutrients, so they don’t need to be watered every day. It can be once a week, or even longer, but don’t water every day, it is not good to keep the pot soil moist all the time.
2. Don’t water the succulents at noon, even if you don’t have the energy to see the succulents in the sun at noon, don’t water the succulents under the sun at noon, it will cause irreversible sunburn to the succulents. It is recommended to do it in the afternoon or evening watering work.
3. Don’t not water the succulents. It’s not that you don’t need water, but you need to find a certain amount. Once you find the watering, it’s no longer a problem. Many meat lovers don’t water the succulents for a long time. How can you raise succulents well? ? Don’t give water too much, and it doesn’t mean that you don’t give water. A succulent friend said that he only waters when he thinks about it, so the succulent flower guest asked you, is your succulent raised by someone else?
4. Don’t give bad water. Many use bad water. Let me briefly explain the bad water mentioned here. Add some water to the milk carton and rinse it to make meat. It feels more nutritious, but it is not. If it is used for a long time, it will cause changes to the soil. Uncle succulent flower guest did a small experiment before, and many meat lovers may know that he used 5 different kinds of water to feed 5 pots of succulents of one variety. Everything else is exactly the same. Normal water is better. I have used water from fish tanks and rice washing. So it is recommended not to use bad water. If it rains, it is recommended to expose to the sun for a few days.
5. Do not change the pot for watering. Generally, changing the pot requires us to trim the roots of the succulents. Do not water immediately after changing the pot. Give the succulents an adaptation period, and it is not too late to water after adapting. That is what we often call the serving period. It is recommended not to give water at this time. I believe everyone will understand.
6. Don’t water the leaves. If the succulents are watered, they should be watered along the side of the flower pot, and just use a sharp-mouthed pot to water it. Don’t water directly onto the leaves, as long as it’s noticeable here. Prevent it. However, there are also many meat lovers who pour water on the leaves when they water, and there is no problem. In fact, it is okay if they can be dried quickly. But just in case, pay more attention to yourself when watering.
7. Don’t water when you are sick. If you find that the succulents are sick, don’t water the succulents again. Control the water first, find out the pathogen, and deal with it. The disease of succulents is not a lack of water. Remember this, it may be the disease of succulents caused by excess water. So cut off the water first.
8. Don’t keep the water in the tray. After we water, we will find that the tray under the succulent flower pot may have accumulated water. At this time, we must dispose of the accumulated water, because these are the excess water left. If If it is not treated in time, the succulents will always be in a humid environment, and the roots below are prone to problems.
