How to water the meat? do you really make it?

There are many meat friends who always have a lot of doubts and worries about watering. Today, the succulent gentleman will share the watering with you.

Meat friends who have been in the pit for a long time know that succulent plants can be watered boldly as long as they are in the growing period. Of course, beginners must be more careful and safe. Many people understand the principle of "better dry than wet". If you give more meat than water and drought, you will not die, at most, you will not be good enough, but if you supply more water, you will probably die of waterlogging. This concept has led to the general belief among meat lovers that the habit of succulent plants is "drought-loving". In fact, succulent plants are not drought-loving but drought-tolerant, and the two meanings are very different. Everyone has heard of the succulent native environment, which is dry and rainless for most of the year. Drought tolerance is a biological mechanism that they evolved because they had to. Once there is Rain Water, they will immediately have enough to drink, and then stored in the body for a rainy day, so they form a thick and juicy shape. When they are dry, they need to consume the water stored in their bodies to maintain their normal physiological function.

It can endure when there is no water for succulent plants, and drink it when there is water. It's just the days when they are more tolerant of water scarcity than other plants. However, if too much water is irrigated, it should be ruled out, that is, the water permeability of the flowerpot-there must be no stagnant water at the bottom of the pot, it must be drained smoothly, the excess water roots cannot be absorbed, and the water in the plant has reached a state of saturation, so much water must flow out, otherwise it will make the roots anoxic and suffocate, and the bottom of the basin will also become a site for bacterial reproduction.

"No dry, no watering, watering thoroughly" in order to ensure that the bottom of the root system also absorbs water, on the other hand, it can verify the drainage rate of the plant, the permeability of the flowerpot, whether the bottom hole is blocked, and so on. Here again: succulent men are not recommended to use flower organs without holes at the bottom, because it is impossible to assess how much water can reach the critical point of the root system at the bottom without stagnant water at the bottom of the basin, and the most troublesome thing is that too much water cannot be discharged, there will be a large outbreak of bacteria in a closed, moist space.

"better dry than wet" is an insurance scheme. It is better to pour less water than to grasp the amount of water. Beginners can suggest to choose this scheme.

The "bold watering theory" can make succulent plants grow exuberantly, quickly, fullly and easily reach the best condition. There is no doubt that it is the most effective way for meat lovers who want to have many children and grandchildren.

Of course, the above mentioned "bold watering" is applicable to the succulent growth period, it is the most stable to control or stop water during the dormant period, and the amount of water should be adjusted according to the regional conditions of the north and south, weather conditions, temperature and air humidity. In the north, the climate is dry, there is little rain in sunny days, the water transpiration is fast, and the watering frequency can be higher; in the south, it is rainy, the air humidity is high, the water evaporation is slow, and the watering frequency is lower. For flower ware, plastic, resin, porcelain and other utensils are relatively poor in water permeability and air permeability, and the watering frequency should be greatly reduced. On the other hand, pottery basin and tile basin can increase the watering times. In short, these experiences can be understood through their own practice, which is not so complicated and complicated.

Finally, there is another misunderstanding that needs to be explained:

Misunderstanding: I do not know where to spread, many meat friends think that too much watering will lead to futile growth.

Watering is not the direct cause of overgrowth, but the lack of light is the direct cause of overgrowth. If you think about it: the phenomenon of overgrowth is already happening, and the supply of water is still so abundant at this time, will it not lead to faster cell division? So as long as there is plenty of sunshine, watering will not lead to overgrowth at all, but will make it fuller and more round.

Finally, remind meat friends:

1. Don't touch the leaf surface when watering, especially in summer! The water droplets glued to the leaf surface are poorly ventilated, which can cause the leaves to rot, but it doesn't matter if the sun is shining and the water droplets can evaporate quickly.

2. If the surface of the leaf in contact with the plant material is granular soil, it is best to stand on tiptoe on the lowest leaf with pebbles.

3, be sure to maintain ventilation, good ventilation is conducive to plant growth, while dry soil surface can also inhibit the outbreak of bacteria to a certain extent, reduce the probability of black rot and water.
