When to water succulents

1. When to water

When watering succulents, wait until the soil turns white before watering. The best way is to water thoroughly when the soil is dry. The most suitable time for watering is different in different seasons.

There are no high requirements for watering in spring and autumn, and it can be done at any time of the day. The most important thing is summer and winter. In summer, when the temperature is high, watering should be done in the morning and evening, and avoid watering when the temperature is high at noon. In winter, on the contrary, try to do it at noon. The temperature in the morning and evening is lower, and the plants are likely to be frostbitten.

2. Determine the watering method

When you don’t know whether it needs watering, you can observe the growth status of the leaves. If the leaves become soft, black or dry, it means that the plant is in a state of water shortage and needs to be watered in time. You can also insert a clean chopstick into the soil and take it out after about two minutes. If it is moist, you don’t need to water it yet.

3. Watering method

You also need to master the correct method of watering it. It is best to pour water into the soil without splashing on its leaves. Stop watering when there is water at the bottom. Do not allow water to accumulate in the soil, as this may cause the plant's roots to rot.
