When, how and how much... Talk about the first watering of succulent plants after potting.

After the succulent plant is put into the pot, should it be watered immediately, or after 24 hours, or at some other time?

What's the best way to water? This question has been asked by many novice friends. Many friends are because the succulent plant has just started, or their own meat state is not good to change the pot, so they expect to have obvious results on the pot, but they care about chaos, and they take it for granted for the first watering. In fact, in the small exquisite point of view, there is no special regulation.

The first watering of succulent plants on the basin, just like the first step of the long March, is essentially no different from each subsequent watering, but the symbolic significance and expectation are great. There is really no definite rule on when, how, how much, thoroughly or not to water for the first time, if there is anything special, it is that the root system of succulent plants may produce some small wounds through the friction of granular soil, and we should be careful when we water them again to avoid black rot of succulent plants infecting bacteria through these wounds.

Therefore, the main significance of the first watering of succulent plants on the pot is not only to make the meat drink water, but also to avoid black rot in the meat with root wounds.

In the topic of succulent plants potting, we often hear two concepts: "dry soil pots" and "tide soil pots". The two concepts are easy to understand. Dry soil on the basin is to use completely naturally dry basin soil to basin, and tidal soil on the basin is to spray the micro-tide of the basin soil on the succulent plants. No matter dry soil basin or tide soil basin, the ultimate goal is to prevent meat from black rot while allowing meat to drink water.

Fluvo-aquic soil on the basin, the advantage is that immediately after the succulent plants on the pot can supply water to the fleshy roots to promote the germination of new roots, while the permeability of the basin soil can also be guaranteed. However, in the fluvo-aquic soil environment, the number of fungi is much higher than that of dry soil, so the succulent plants that have just trimmed their roots are not suitable for fluvo-aquic soil. The upper basin of tidal soil is generally suitable for succulent plants that have no roots or are not easy to cause wounds when they are on the basin. For example, an old pile of soil removed from online shopping may only have a stout main root, and there is no root hair on the main root, and some wounds have dried up and contracted during the express delivery journey, so it is almost impossible to cause new wounds, so it is okay to use tidal soil to put on the basin.

However, when potting succulent plants, no matter how careful we are, we will inevitably hurt the root system of the succulent plant. At this time, we should consider potting the dry soil and watering it at intervals of 24 hours. In this way, even if there are a lot of fungal spores in the dry soil, they cannot reproduce when the humidity is not enough, and the wound of the fleshy root system has healed by the time it is watered 24 hours later.

So, if you know the sun intensity in your succulent plant conservation environment (shading should be done well in summer) and your own soil distribution, you can actually put on the basin without tidal soil, but directly dry the soil on the basin and water it again 24 hours later, which is the most scientific watering for the first time after the basin.
