Watering is a big problem. Meat lovers who are new to the pit will always ask, how often do you water it? A week? Twenty days? A month? No matter how many days I answer, I want to be lazy, because I can never talk about watering without the environment.

If you really don't know how to water the succulent plant, take a look below. Watering for 3 years, but the old driver will teach you in 3 minutes!

Basic principle of ★: dry and thoroughly poured. After three years of watering, you can never water away from the environment.

In general, watering succulent plants should be thoroughly watered. To such an extent that water leaks out of the hole in the bottom of the flowerpot. Then wait until the soil is dry before watering. So pay attention to the state of the soil, the state of the soil can not be seen intuitively, so there are two indirect ways to find out whether succulent plants need watering.

Weigh: the soil is very heavy after pouring, and it becomes lighter when it dries, but it feels very delicate, so you still need to practice more. If you have the spirit of experiment, you can weigh the basin before watering, weigh it once after watering, and then you can water it when the weight is reduced to what it was before watering.

Observe the leaves: healthy succulent, after watering for a period of time, the leaves will become very full, and so on when the outermost leaves become soft, it shows that the succulent lack of water, this is the most appropriate time to water, you can make succulent more and more fat.

No matter which way, we should carefully observe the state of succulent plants, understand their own succulent habits, slowly explore, will be better and better.

★ 1. Watering under different conditions

1. Succulent plants that have just been put on the pot, changed the basin and cut-- fluvo-aquic soil, are not watered.

Knock on the blackboard and draw the point. ? In the basin, when changing the basin, the root will generally be trimmed, and cuttings need to wait for the new root to grow out, this process is to slow the root or serve the basin. ? Slow root should pay attention to two points:

When planting for the first time, the soil should be slightly damp, just contain a little water vapor, and never be too wet. During the second slow root period, do not water, do not be in the sun, wait for the plant to grow new roots before watering. The root delay time is usually one to two weeks. ? A little moisture can stimulate succulent roots, while too much water will rot the part buried in the soil, and the succulent will die. So be sure to refrain from watering during the slow root basin. If you really can't help it, you can spray some water with a spray can on the succulent leaves, spray less and don't accumulate water.

2. The material of the basin-- good air permeability

It is best to choose a basin with holes in the bottom and good air permeability. Materials with good permeability: pottery, purple sand, wood, cement and other soil dry quickly and have high watering frequency. Materials with poor air permeability: porcelain, glass, metal, plastic and other soil dry slowly, watering frequency is small.

3. The proportion of soil particles-- good permeability and water retention.

The soil with a large proportion of particles has good water permeability and air permeability, and the watering frequency is relatively high. Please move a thousand meat friends to have a thousand succulent soil preparation methods.

★ II. Watering in different seasons

1. Rainy days-welcome light rain and avoid continuous rain

Many meat friends are worried about whether they should bring in the meat they put outside. ? A: no need. First of all, your meat is exposed, don't think of her as so delicate, the meat that has experienced wind and rain will be stronger. Moreover, there will be trace elements in Rain Water, which will be a good fertilizer. Rain Water can also play a role in washing dust.

However, if your meat has been kept indoors, don't suddenly take it out in the rain. To give succulent plants a time process to adapt to the environment, the sudden change of the environment is unbearable for both people and meat. ?? Meat exposed outside, occasionally in the rain is good for physical and mental health, but the southern spring and summer continuous rain, soaking in the water, succulent roots can not breathe for a long time, will rot. In this case, you have to take shelter from the rain. The air humidity is also high during the plum rain season, so the succulent plants raised indoors should pay attention to ventilation.

2. Summer-watering in the morning and evening with high frequency

If the temperature is very high in summer and the evaporation is large, the frequency of watering will increase accordingly. Summer watering is best when the weather is cool in the morning and evening. If you water in the morning, you must be careful not to leave water droplets on the leaves. A drop of water on the leaves is a convex lens, which will focus the sun and burn the leaves.

The water received from the tap pipe should not be directly used to water the flowers, but should be placed for a period of time and then watered again. The newly received water is generally very cold, while the temperature of the plant itself in summer will be relatively high due to the environmental impact, and the water will suddenly be poured with particularly cool water, which will stimulate the succulent root activity to weaken and reduce its water absorption capacity.

3. Winter-outdoor water cut off and indoor ventilation

Small friends who are still exposed in winter, reduce the frequency of watering, or even cut off the water, otherwise the temperature is too low when the plant water content is too low, it may cause frostbite. The succulent plants without water will enter a dormant state, the leaves will be wrapped up, the water content will be reduced, and the metabolism will be reduced to a minimum, in this way to resist the extreme environment.

General succulent plant below 5 degrees had better be moved indoors, even if the strong succulent, the temperature is so low that freezing will make frostbite difficult to recover. Indoor succulent companions in winter should also reduce the frequency of watering and pay attention to ventilation. Here I recommend not to cut off the water and water less, but keep on watering, so that you can recover better next spring.

4. Spring and Autumn-watering thoroughly awakens, dries thoroughly pours thoroughly

Some meat friends will cut off the water over the winter and summer, and the water will be watered step by step, each time less than once, and the interval will be longer until there is no watering. Awakening in the Spring and Autumn period should also slowly increase from less watering, and the frequency will increase. Finally, it must be thoroughly watered once to give the succulent plant a signal that "it's time to wake up". After that, it can be watered normally. Growing season: in March, April, September and October, succulent plants began to root more easily and the growth rate accelerated. At this time, you can rest assured to water without worrying about overgrowth, of course, to ensure that there is plenty of sunshine.
