Can succulents be exposed to rain?

Not recommended for rainy weather

1. If the weather is hot and humid, or extremely hot after the rain, it is not recommended to get wet in the rain, because the soil moistened by rain contains a lot of water. If the next day is hot and humid, or extremely hot, it will be a cruel test for succulents. Succulents grow almost close to the ground, so moisture cannot dissipate and they can easily rot.

2. It is not recommended to expose succulents to rain during continuous rainy days. Without a good ventilation environment, moisture will spread in the air, which is not conducive to the survival of succulents.

Not afraid of getting wet in the rain

1. In cool and breezy weather, you can let your succulents get exposed to the rain. Succulents have relatively high requirements for ventilation. As long as you can keep ventilation, there is nothing to be afraid of.

2. Succulents that are already very dehydrated can be boldly exposed to the rain.

3. Succulents in very small pots can withstand the rain without fear.

4. Succulents can be exposed to rain boldly during the seedling stage, as that is when they need water.

5. Succulent plants can be exposed to rain in spring. After being exposed to the rain, they will make you feel that they have grown up overnight.

6. Compacted soil can be exposed to rain. It is difficult to water such soil thoroughly unless the entire flower pot is placed in water. But if there are many pots, it will be very troublesome, so it is good to let them be exposed to rain.

7. The air permeability is very good, so the soil is not afraid of rain.

Precautions for getting caught in the rain

But no matter what the circumstances are, water accumulation should not occur. If you grow succulents outdoors, it is no problem for them to be exposed to rain. Succulents grown outdoors are harder than those grown indoors, so being exposed to rain is actually not a big deal.
