Watering succulent plants should be flexible and use good skills to grow rapidly in spring.

To fatten succulent plants is to store water in case of drought. When we conserve them, we have to make them feel like they are in an environment that may be dry, and give them enough water to store. If the living environment is rich in water, who has time to store water, are busy growing. If there is really a mindless mind to store water, and the long leaves are short and round, how can it compete with those thin and big leaves? Plants are actually very smart.

Some flower friends will wonder, why water control, succulent plants or not out of state? Because the matter of water control does not play a decisive role in the state of succulent plants, it has the effect of icing on the cake and sending carbon in the snow. The main factors that really make succulent plants out of state are low temperature (temperature difference) and light.

When your maintenance environment is good enough (good light, not hot), water control can make your succulent plant grow smaller and smaller (growth can not keep up with consumption), or even wrinkle when lack of water. At this time, the color is often more beautiful than usual, but beauty is the premise of restraining growth, which is the icing on the cake. Blue stone lotus, a succulent plant that has been controlled by water, will indeed grow smaller and smaller and more pink and tender, but light and temperature are still essential.

The key here is the control of a water supply, which has to be explored and grasped according to the specific maintenance environment, and the purpose is to create a less water environment, which can not be too wet or dry for too long. Relative to the aboveground part, the size of the succulent root system can be roughly understood as the size of the crown width of the two, and it can also be converted into the strength of water absorption capacity, for example, when some roots are injured when turning the basin, the water absorption capacity is weakened, which is equivalent to the root system becoming smaller, but its recovery speed is faster than the real small root system. Therefore, in order to fatten succulent plants, we must first have a healthy root system.

Granular soil is the best medium for fattening, because it is relatively easy to control water, but this does not mean that peat can not produce fat succulent, but moisture is relatively difficult to control, and good control can also produce fat meat. Although the roots raised by particles are strong and resistant to drought, at the beginning of the early stage, because the particles are easy to dry, it is difficult to maintain the humidity needed for the roots for a long time, so the plants without roots or few roots directly put the roots in the granular soil will often face the situation of slow root growth or even not long root growth.
