How often should I water my succulents?

How often to water

There is usually no fixed watering time for succulents. We can water them appropriately by understanding the temperature and soil. Generally, we can water them according to the following.

Soil moisture

During the planting period, we water according to the moisture of the soil. During the growth period of succulents, you can water them when the soil is almost dry. At this time, we need to wet the soil as much as possible to allow the roots to fully absorb. The general watering season is spring and autumn. The amount of water should be reduced accordingly in summer and winter because the succulents will enter dormancy at this time and do not need much water.

Choose a flower pot

The flowerpots for succulents to grow are a very important factor. We need to choose pots of appropriate size for them to better promote their growth. If the flowerpot is too small, the plant will easily dry out and its water needs will not be met. If it is too big, too much water will be poured, which will easily lead to excess water and root rot, so the flowerpot is very important.

Watering time

In the hot summer, watering can be done once in the morning and evening. In winter, watering should be done at noon when the temperature is relatively high, which can effectively prevent frostbite on succulents. The growth of succulents should be kept at a room temperature of about 20 degrees, so that they can grow healthily and vigorously. Too low a temperature can easily lead to dormancy or even death. Therefore, we need to water the plants when the temperature difference is not much different. It is better to use tap water that has been exposed to the sun.
