How to water succulent plants in winter

Unlike other seasons, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the frequency and amount of watering, mainly due to the low temperature in winter and the fact that many succulent plants are dormant in winter. Watering in winter is basically enough to water thoroughly once a month.

In addition, the frequency of watering in winter is not fixed, but according to their own breeding environment, for indoor farming in northern areas, because many flower friends have heating in their homes and the temperature is relatively high in winter, watering may be more frequent at this time.

In the south, the room temperature is not very high in winter, so the watering interval can be lengthened a little bit, so as not to cause the soil to be moist all the time. Especially for those seedlings with relatively few roots or those that have been beheaded, the soil must be kept dry until the roots grow and then a small amount of water is watered. Otherwise, it is very perishable. In addition, winter watering generally chooses to water at noon when the sun is warm.

Culture methods of succulent plants

1. Lighting

Plants need sunlight, but not all plants like strong sunlight. For succulent plants, we need to wait for them to grow stable before we see the sun. If we urgently let them bask in the sun, not only the root system will not grow well, but also the plant itself may slowly dehydrate and die. So we should wait for them to take root in a cool and ventilated environment, see the sun step by step, and wait for them to adapt before they can bask in the sun.

2. Ventilation

Most succulent plants live in alpine or desert environments, and ventilation is particularly important, which can not only blow away excess water more quickly, but also prevent insects from becoming moldy. In a hot and humid environment, poor air circulation is not conducive to water evaporation, and it is difficult to reduce the temperature, and it is easy to lead to root rot.

3. Watering

Watering succulent plants must be careful not to allow water to accumulate in the basin. The succulent plants in ceramic flowerpots are usually watered every 6-7 days in spring and autumn, once a week in summer, 15-20 days or once a month in winter. Red pottery pots are particularly permeable, about once every 3 days in spring and autumn, 2-3 days in summer, and once a week in winter, especially after snow, if cloudy days persist, you can water once a month. However, it is best not to water regularly, because the weather is fickle, and the watering time should be changed according to the weather conditions.
