How to water old succulent plants

1. Frequency

The branches of old succulent plants have become lignified, so their water requirements are greatly reduced, and the plants themselves can absorb relatively little water, so the number of watering can be reduced accordingly, and do not water them according to the original frequency. During periods of vigorous growth, such as spring and autumn, the frequency can be increased appropriately, but in winter the climate is hot and the demand for water is reduced, so try to water as little as possible, or you can skip watering and just spray water to keep it moist.

2. Interval

The climate in each season is different, the growth conditions are different, and the watering intervals are different. When it reaches the old stage, you can no longer water it at regular intervals. You can water it irregularly. This can enhance its water storage capacity and make the leaves fuller and fuller, and enhance its beauty.

3. Water volume

In order to control the shape of old succulent plants, granular soil is often used in the potting soil. This kind of soil is relatively loose, has better air permeability, and evaporates quickly, so watering must be sufficient. Water thoroughly at one time to ensure that a little water flows out from the bottom of the pot. Be sure not to only water halfway, otherwise the roots will still be in a state of water shortage.
