Different watering techniques for succulent plants have to learn to water leaves in this way in order to thicken.

Many novices raise flowers and succulent plants, do not know how to water, and the soil is impervious, which can easily lead to stagnant water and rotten roots. There is a way to prevent rotting roots, that is, the sitting pot method, put the flowerpot in a container with water, and so see that the soil on the surface of the flowerpot has become wet, it is thoroughly watered, so that the flowerpot can be taken out. This method is also called soaking pot, why some flower friends give their own succulent plant soaking pot will get very good results, this is a very important reason is soil, succulent plant soil is mainly good permeability, such soil in the soaking basin, water is easily absorbed, of course, more water is also easy to flow out, I understand that this is thoroughly watered.

Some flower friends' succulent plants are already in an unhealthy state and hope to be relieved by soaking pots, which is a bit sick. In addition, for flower friends who soak pots, another problem that can not be ignored is soil, good permeability soil, soaking pots no matter it is water absorption, or more than the flow of water can be very fast, but as far as I know, some flower friends' soil is made of their own garden soil and some cinder and so on, this kind of soil has good water retention, so it is likely to absorb a lot, unable to discharge and lead to stagnant water. Flower friends must be treated differently according to their own actual situation, because the experience of flower friends must be 100% suitable for them, and they should be pondered and digested and cannot be completely imitated.

Under normal circumstances, it only takes 15 seconds for the basin to be immersed in water at a depth of 1/2. Never take it out after seeing moisture in the topsoil. The more loose and breathable soil, the less time, because the siphon effect is strong. The advantage of this watering method is that it ensures that the upper part of the soil is drier than the lower part, and the roots are not easy to rot. Because the root tip of the plant is divided into the root crown area, the growth zone and the root hair zone, only the root hair is the main part of absorbing water, and the ability of moisture resistance is the strongest, while the old root above the root hair area has lost the function of absorbing water, which mainly plays the role of transferring water, nourishment and fixation. the ability of moisture resistance is poor, and rotten roots often start from here.

Why does the root system of succulent plants rot? There are many possibilities of root ulceration, and malignant bacteria are considered by many people to be one of the causes of festering. In addition to this, there are also wounds left by root-eating insects on the roots caused by microbial invasion (such as root rot caused by root powder). In fact, there have been countless bacteria in the soil for thousands of years, and plants have coexisted with them safe and sound, there are no fungicides in nature, and artificial intervention does not exist in nature. So for pure bacteria, there is no water management error. There is a large amount of gravity water in the soil, which does not necessarily lead to large area fester of the root system.

So how can you tell that the roots of the twelve rolls begin to fester? The twelve-roll root system has a characteristic that once it begins to fester, the twelve will instinctively reduce the role of sieve tubes and ducts, which is the self-protection developed by this plant in the process of evolution, rapid exchange of body fluids up and down, which can accelerate the process of decay. With this kind of self-blocking, the process of decay can be slowed down, and as long as the soil is dried at the right time, the half-rotten roots can even stop festering. New roots also bifurcate from the side of rotten roots, and according to this characteristic, you can judge that root festering occurs, thus saving the twelve rolls that may begin to rot.

The advantage of the soaking method is that it can avoid messing up the basin soil, avoiding water on the core of succulent plants, pouring water moderately, and so on. Succulent plant soaking pot has been recognized by many flower friends, but this does not mean that this method is suitable for all flower friends, looking at flower friends' cases, some failures and some successes, which is the same as ordinary watering, so succulent plant soaking pot is not omnipotent.
