The occurrence of this phenomenon in the soil of succulent plants means it is time to be watered.

The golden rule for watering succulent plants during the growing season is to water the soil around the roots when the soil is almost completely dry. But many people will wonder whether those plants will enter the growing season in summer or in winter. Some succulent plants grow in places where it rains heavily in winter but grows rapidly when it rains in summer.

Insert the toothpick (chopsticks, popsicle stick, bamboo stick, etc.) into the basin and pull it out before watering to see if the toothpick is wet to determine whether the soil is dry. By observing whether the inserts are wet or not, we can judge whether the plants need to be watered. Is this method very simple? Is it easy to catch the right rhythm of watering? However, this method also has a drawback, that is, when items such as toothpicks are inserted into the basin soil, this process will inevitably hurt the roots of the plant.

When the plant is dry in the growing season, it is usually a sign that the plant needs water, but it is normally dormant in the dormant season and does not need to care about the dry epidermis. Most succulent plants grow better at 14 ℃ to 25 ℃ during the day and 4 to 10 ℃ at night. It is important to note that the temperature had better not be below zero, even if it is below zero for more than an hour or two.

The watering method and amount of water for succulent plants are as follows: the time of watering is early morning in summer, sunny afternoon in winter, and watering in the morning and evening of spring and autumn. Under normal circumstances, do not sprinkle water from the top, watering must be enough, so you must often loosen the soil, so that the basin soil is easy to absorb enough water evenly. For the growing winter-type and intermediate-type plants, the basin soil should be kept moist without stagnant water, and the watering should be dry and thorough, neither stagnant water nor too dry. The summer type can be watered properly, but not too much. If there is a rainy day or a sudden drop in temperature, stop watering.

Some people raise succulent plants and move to the office on purpose, so that it is only 20 degrees during the day. At night, people leave, the air conditioners are turned off, and the temperature rises to 30 degrees. You can imagine how tormented this upside-down temperature difference is for succulent plants. Of course, succulent plants can also carry out normal daytime photosynthesis, but the night temperature is not low enough, plants can not store the nutrients produced during the day, but consume more. It is inevitable that plants are getting weaker and weaker. A temperature difference of about 10 degrees is an ideal temperature difference. If it is about 35 degrees during the day and less than 25 degrees at night, it will be of great help to plants.

It is very important to keep the airflow unobstructed when raising succulent plants in summer. The usual airflow can not only reduce the high temperature around the succulent plants, but also quickly take away too much water vapor caused by careless watering. In addition, the ventilated environment can also effectively prevent diseases and insect pests. Put succulent plants in a ventilated and cool place in summer, which refers to the degree of light. If direct sunlight continues to shine on succulent plants, there will be malaise, shrinkage and other phenomena. Succulent plants must keep enough light in order to grow normally.
