How often should succulents be watered in summer?

Succulents do not like water, and frequent watering can easily cause water accumulation. Therefore, when watering succulents, you must follow the principle of "dry watering and wet watering". Wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. You can insert a small stick into the soil at the edge of the succulent pot. If the stick is dry when it is pulled out, you can water the succulents.

Key points for watering succulents in summer

1. Watering principles

When watering, water along the inner wall of the flowerpot, water a little each time, and do not water thoroughly. Allow the water to diffuse in the medium on its own. However, if the ventilation is good and the container is relatively breathable, you can also water it thoroughly.

2. Notes

It is best to do it in the evening or at night, when the temperature is not too high. Moreover, the wind blowing all night can evaporate the excess moisture.

The correct way to water succulents

1. Spring : Spring is the growing season for succulents. You can water them more and fill them up. This will allow the succulents to absorb a large amount of water at once, and the leaves will become full the next day. Therefore, you don’t need to think too much about watering succulents in spring.

2. Summer : Choose the evening or night as the time for watering, because the temperature in summer is relatively high. If you water at noon, the water will directly become hot water, which is very unfavorable for plants such as succulents.

3. Autumn : Autumn is relatively dry, and it is also the growing season for succulents. Generally, watering them once every 7 days can maintain the growth of succulents during the growing season, and the leaves will also become thicker more easily.

4. Winter : The temperature in winter is relatively low, so the growth of succulents is relatively slow and requires less water. We can control watering, mainly by spraying, and appropriately maintain the humidity of the air and potting soil.
