Meat novice how to plant watering method must be remembered

If light is the source of succulent plant growth, then water can be called the driving force of plant development. Especially for many newcomers who have just planted succulent plants, no matter what kind of succulent plants they grow, they randomly water the succulent plants every day, although we may feel that the plants have been carefully taken care of, but there may only be empty pots in the end.

In fact, the basic principle of watering is to dry thoroughly, especially for some water-loving succulent plants (growing season), once the soil is found to be dry, then we need to water it thoroughly. If the novice can not judge the degree of dryness and wetness of the basin soil, you can insert a toothpick in the soil along the basin wall, and you can usually judge when to water the succulent plant by observing the dryness and wetness of the toothpick.

In fact, dry and thoroughly watering is a commonly used term in the watering method of succulent plants, which means that we can use the method of once watering for adult plants and old succulent plants (the water level is set from the hole at the bottom of the flowerpot). Then wait until the next time the basin soil to dry thoroughly can carry out the second watering, which is the common watering method for succulent plants.

In fact, the role of dry and thorough irrigation is to effectively prevent excessive watering caused by excessive growth, rotten roots, diseases and insect pests (only for adult plants, old pile succulent, young succulent only need to ensure that the basin soil is slightly wet). But the method is not as harsh as we think, as long as it is not watered too frequently, then generally will not lead to the death of plants.

Of course, in the hot summer and cold winter, if the succulent plant enters the dormant state of nutrient reserve, then it must stop watering in time.
