With regard to the problem of watering succulent plants, we should not blindly water them in summer.

In summer, succulent plants are generally watered at night, because the plants are more active at night, which can cope with the sudden increase in moisture. And the thermal insulation of the water is much higher than that of the basin soil, so watering in the sun during the day can easily cause the basin soil to overheat and cook the plant directly. In summer, succulent plants should be watered thoroughly until water rattles out from the bottom of the basin, which can bring enough fresh air to the roots. The fresh air in the root can help the root breathe, metabolize the weak current, and help the root absorb the nutrient ions in the medium.

The amount of water for succulent plants in summer has a lot to do with floral utensils. Red pottery, rattan weaving and water moss with strong permeability can be watered in large quantities, even by soaking in pots. On the other hand, the water volatilization rate of ceramic flower ware is very slow, the amount of water should be small, and the watering interval should be lengthened. The best and most tiring way of watering is to soak the basin, which can make the soil absorb enough water and effectively control the risk of black rot caused by stagnant water in leaves. However, this method is only suitable for people who are patient and have time to deal with the meat, and it is obvious that I can't soak it one by one.

If you really can't help but want water in summer, choose a relatively cool night to give a circle of water around the edge of the basin with a pointed pot. Succulent leaves will wrinkle after the water is cut off and go into a dormant state, which is normal. After a cool day in autumn, the leaves will naturally become full again as you start to give water. Of course, he has to live until autumn. At present, my watering method is still directly drenched with flower wine, which looks simple, rough and convenient, and is only suitable for the growing season. However, after watering each piece of meat has to manually blow off the stagnant water in the center of the leaves, tired to death. But there is no way not to let the water in the heart of the leaf bask in the sun, and it will get sunburned, so it is recommended to water around the flowerpot.

Succulent plants have just been planted for the first time watering should pay attention to the following points: the watering site is slightly away from the root of succulent plant, so that water naturally permeates into the root of succulent plant. Newly planted succulent plants are fragile. Avoid sun exposure in the first few days. Direct sunlight can hurt the roots of succulent plants. Be careful not to pour them on succulent leaves. In addition to watering succulent plants, sunlight is also a favorite of succulent plants. Therefore, we also need to remember the effect of light on succulent plants, so as to judge and maintain in the process of breeding. Succulent plants with plenty of light, plenty of sunlight make the stem stout, the leaves are plump and shiny, and the flowers are bright and attractive.

For those who have been dormant, such as lotus palms, it is OK to water once a month or two under cool and ventilated conditions. But the time from morning to sunset is not suitable for watering. Because the water irrigated in the morning, in the case of not yet dry at noon, continue to bear high temperature in the afternoon, the soil temperature of the flowerpot is higher. Therefore, it is best to water in the cool and windy evening, water after a night of evaporation is better. Be careful not to put succulent plants in the air-conditioned room to cool down, because although the air-conditioned room is cool, it is airtight and unventilated.

Succulent plants avoid stagnant water most, especially in summer, growers will feel that the moisture in the soil will soon dry, so often watering, resulting in long-term wet rot of the roots, it is difficult to return to the sky. In fact, there are many Rain Water in summer and the air is moist. Although the surface of the soil seems to be dry, the bottom is still not dry, especially in the south. During the growing period, summer-type succulent plants need relatively sufficient water, otherwise they will stop growing and their appearance will change. However, compared with other seasons, summer watering should be in the early morning and evening, to avoid high-temperature watering at noon. When watering, avoid sprinkling on the leaves, should be poured in the soil, the water droplets on the leaves should be blown away in time. It is recommended to use a pressure spray can to avoid the above situation.
