Learn the method of understanding the water shortage signals of succulent plants the leaves have been fattened several times

There is a lot of water in the branches and leaves of succulent plants in desert and alpine areas, so the amount of water must not be too much. Moreover, when succulent plants are very short of water, they will consume the water of their leaves to supply the necessary nutrients, and then the bottom leaves will slowly dry up. In addition, apricots and some Sedum plants will wrinkle when they are short of water. Some succulent plants will become soft when they are short of water. These are the watering signals they give.

Although succulent plants are taboo to be watered too frequently, it does not mean that they should be thirsty all the time. When wrinkles appear, try to water them for a second time on the premise of good ventilation. The most suitable time for watering in summer is after dusk, so try to avoid watering plants. It should be noted that if the problem remains after watering, consider whether there is something wrong with the root. Please wait until the growing season to trim the root and change the basin.

Sometimes the folds and softening of the leaves are not necessarily due to lack of water, which needs to be judged according to their usual watering time and recent weather conditions. Generally speaking, if there is a lack of water, the leaves will be full the next day if they are watered that night. If the state does not change for several days after watering, it needs to be paid attention to. This is usually the case that the root system of the plant has not grown, or the original root system has rotted. At this point, you can pull the succulent plant out of the soil, clean the roots again, and replace it with dry soil before planting it.

The method of judging whether succulent plants need to be watered, the method of judging the dry and wet topsoil: generally speaking, if the topsoil turns white, it can be watered. This is the principle of "no dry, no watering, dry and thorough watering". The so-called dryness refers to the whiteness of the topsoil, but if you poke away the topsoil, you can still see the moisture. For the growing period of fairy meat, this method of judgment is fine. Those with strong habits can be watered right away, and for those who are relatively afraid of water, wait two days before watering.

End basin method: that is, friends who feel good can carry the basin, feel that the basin is light, can be watered, the fairy meat planted in plastic pots, and the soil is mainly made of peat and other lightweight materials, and the weight after watering and drying is still relatively obvious. If the leaves in the lower circle are soft and withered, and the leaves in the upper circles are also soft, it means that there is already a lack of water. If the leaves have not stood up after 12 hours of watering, for one thing, you have just planted them and haven't taken the pot yet. At this time, you need to put the plants in a ventilated place to dry the soil as soon as possible.
