Avoid the four misunderstandings of succulent watering. Fat and smooth.

Succulent watering is originally a difficult task, according to different varieties, geographical environment and so on will have different differences and changes, so in the face of watering problems, we will inevitably walk into the following four "misunderstandings". Today, the girl is here to discuss with you.

1. Succulent plants do not like water

Because of the origin, many flower friends think that succulent plants don't like water. In fact, it just doesn't like stagnant water. Sometimes it doesn't matter if the water is bigger. All living things on earth come from the underwater world, so succulent plants also need water. And they can't survive without water. It just doesn't like to stay in wet soil all the time.

This is also due to the habit of living in the desert for so many years. Here have to say a bit of professional knowledge, succulent only because the leaf surface with wax protective layer, so that it can not be sunlight and evaporate the water in the body, so its own water content is relatively rich, but watering times is less than other plants.

2. Improper judgment of watering

This can be said a lot, either more or not enough, frequent watering succulent plants will lead to succulent plants full of water in the root space, water, the air will not be able to enter naturally. If the air can't get in, the oxygen content will be reduced, and root breathing will become a problem.

Some watering is like a dragonfly scratching the surface. When it looks like it's going to be watered, it's never watered thoroughly, but the meat doesn't grow well, not because it's half-watered, and there's no sign of water at the root at all. sometimes seeing water from the bottom of the basin does not mean that it has been watered thoroughly, so you must observe it carefully so as not to turn it into a "hollow radish."

3. Strictly stipulate the watering time

Many meat friends always think that it is good to water succulent plants late in the morning, so they can't help but limit a time to water succulent succulent plants. Girls used to do the same, but their knowledge is constantly updated. Succulent watering must be determined according to their actual situation. There is no strict time limit. Do not listen to others say what time to water in the morning and what time in the afternoon. There is no formula to speak of. We must analyze the specific situation.

In addition, a good trick is to fertilize succulent plants quickly when watering, preferably liquid fertilizer, after dilution, when watering succulent plants, it can not only replenish water, but also increase nutrients, killing two birds with one stone.

4. Watering is too random.

Office workers may have to be mentioned here. When they come home from work hard, they may forget to water them, and sometimes they even water them according to their personal interests. In this way, the flowers and trees are either dry or rotten because they are too wet. Therefore, maintenance must be careful, every day after work to inspect their own rivers and mountains, to see whether this needs watering, if you need watering, you can strictly water it thoroughly.

The girl here has a formula for watering, that is, "look, hear, ask and cut", so this traditional Chinese medicine is still broad and profound, and these four words are also very useful here, looking at the color of the soil. The branches and leaves are light, the sound of tapping the basin is clear, and the relevant knowledge is mastered. After all, theory is the basis of practice, that is, to touch the soft and hard soil and the degree of tightness of the soil.

Finally, there is a little secret. We all know that the meat is not dry or watered, but if the potted soil is sure to be dry and dry, it can be delayed for 3-5 days before supplying water. after all, the meat will be especially cherished as soon as it comes into contact with water after a long drought, so the leaves will become thicker.
