Watering experience of twelve rolls of succulent plants

Succulent twelve rolls, is a more popular small succulent plant in recent years, its variety, shape, small and exquisite, elegant, very suitable for personal cultivation and ornamental. If you want to raise a lot of meat in twelve rolls, water management is a very important part. If you have a good root system, you have everything. Although the root system is not the only decisive factor, it is undoubtedly one of the most important. Next, let's learn what senior flower friends have learned about twelve rolls of watering.

How to water twelve rolls of succulent plants

With regard to the problem of twelve rolls of watering, let's say that the management of water is not only watering, which means that the way of watering may only be a few sentences, but with a little understanding of the principles and reasons, you can easily and flexibly apply it to different environments and plants:

I. Water form in plant material

The water in the plant material usually has two forms, one is capillary water form, the other is gravity water form, the two forms will be converted to each other, when the capillary water reaches excessive saturation, a large amount of gravity water will appear on the physical surface of the plant. When the gravity water dries gradually, only capillary water is left in the plant.

Capillary water is not abundant on the surface of the plant material, but is absorbed in the interior of the plant material medium by siphon. There are many plants that can capillary water, such as inorganic red jade, cinder, blue stone, vermiculite, organic fairy soil, peat, bark, anyway, plant materials with pores, all have the ability to absorb water capillaries to themselves, even when the plant material is completely saturated, it is not easy to accidentally fester the root system. On the contrary, they are best absorbed by plant root hairs.

Gravity water often exists in the open air, but in greenhouses and balconies, gravity water is sometimes dangerous. The popular point of gravity water is that when the capillary water of the plant is saturated, the water film left in the gap between the plants, or the water film on the surface of the plant, is the form of gravity water.

Gravity water during rainfall, the soil is filled with gravity water, but it is not necessarily unsafe at that time, because Rain Water from the air usually carries a lot of oxygen, and Rain Water's repeated erosion also takes away and dilutes microorganisms, and when there is oxygen in the water, even the root system can be completely soaked in the water solution without decay, and the real water management failure leads to root fester because gravity water covers the root epidermis. The original microbes in the soil quickly consume the oxygen in these gravity water, and the roots that need to do surface breathing, some of the cells drown and die, resulting in a moist and microbial-rich environment, which leads to rapid fester of the root system. this is the initial situation in which water management errors lead to root problems.
