Dormant period of succulent plants-- dormant period

Most succulent plants go into dormancy with the change of season, that is, into a state of self-protection. Dormancy is a dangerous time for succulent plants, but it is a bit mysterious for growers. When succulent plants enter a dormant state, their roots generally stop growing, and many capillaries gradually disappear. Many plants die during or shortly after dormancy, mostly because they are too dry or not carefully monitored during dormancy. Dormancy is part of their life cycle, and when light and temperature are no longer suitable for them to be active, they need a rest to maintain their health. And your task is to accompany them through this period.

Since this is the case, we do not have to think too much about how to retain the capillary root, because the plant has lost its ability to absorb water, if it is watered too much at this stage, not only the water will not be fully absorbed, but also the capillary root will rot, thus further affecting the main root of the plant. If allowed to spread, it may even lead to stem tissue rot. Therefore, the watering of dormant succulent plants should be strictly controlled.

So, do dormant succulent plants no longer need rehydration? In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Watering is not the only way to replenish water to plants. Many plants can also replenish water by spraying foliar water, especially those that enter the dormant period. If you water dormant plants, it is generally not easy to grasp the amount of water, and it will usually cause rot due to excessive watering. How do dormant succulent plants be watered?

Succulent plants: how to match succulent plant soil?

When succulent plants enter the dormant period, we replenish water mainly by spraying. It is safer to increase the humidity of the air and culture soil in this way, so that dormant succulent plants will not cause physiological obstacles due to the dryness of the air and culture soil.

Of course, the dormancy of succulent plants is generally relative, there are still many succulent plants dormancy characteristics are not obvious, such as Yulu, Quyu and other varieties. In this case, the hydration of the succulent plant should be flexibly grasped according to the present situation of the plant, but generally speaking, the principle that should be grasped is: during the dormant season, if the succulent plant shows dehydration, and the growing point obviously loses its luster, even if the color of the plant deepens all day and the leaves appear soft, we should treat it as a dormant state. Therefore, watering or rehydration should also be carried out according to the standard of dormant period.
