Watering of succulent plants in growing period
Generally, in the growing season of succulents, in a reasonable watering cycle, you can safely and boldly water your head until it is full, especially those students who have the conditions to use rootless water, so that the plants such as spring breeze, the scale on the basin surface, the dust on the plant surface and the root excrement in the basin soil can be washed clean in a transparent water.
However, it should be noted that students who have the "bad habit" of saving environment must pay attention to the fact that the returned water must not be reused. The so-called "backwater" is the waste water flowing from the bottom of the basin after watering. This is equivalent to the water in the sewer, which is no less destructive to plants than the waste water from Fukushima nuclear power plant. The garbage and toxins in it are enough to make you pay 1000 times, just because you want to save a few cents on the water bill. Of course, washing water is as toxic as standing water and backwater for a long time.
Water succulent plants before dormancy.
As for watering succulents before dormancy, water should be controlled during this period. If it is not controlled, there is no chance to correct the excessive growth accumulated in a growing season. At this time, because the climate has changed, the watering cycle needs to be reset. Moreover, the amount of watering cannot be saturated. The requirement is to let the plants drink half full at a time, and the water intake should be slightly less than the consumption. In this way, in addition to promoting the growth of plant capillary roots, it can also increase the sugar concentration in plants. The development of capillary roots can make plants healthier, while the accumulation of nutrients can achieve reproductive growth. Plants will gain weight, become shorter and have prominent characteristics, and then they will have enough physical strength to cope with dormancy, peeling and flowering. For students who are not good at it, please refer to the succulents in front when to water them. Try several times to determine the amount of water poured thoroughly, and then divide this value by 2. In addition, at this time, because the vegetative growth of plants is already very weak, there is not much garbage for you to wash, just gently water them bit by bit, and try not to get the plants wet. At the very least, we should avoid water accumulation in the flower core.
Water succulents during dormancy.
Finally, it is the dormant season of succulents. In the meantime, the main goal is to maintain. Because of temperature and other reasons, succulents have entered a state of self-protection, most of their roots have stopped moving, and a considerable number of capillary roots have disappeared. At this time, there is no need to consider the maintenance of root hair. Because of the loss of water absorption function, excessive water is not only ineffective, but also causes capillary root rot, which in turn affects the main roots of succulents. Unfortunately, it will rot forever. . . . . . Well, congratulations, you have another reason to buy new plants. During the dormant period, spraying is the main method. It is enough to keep the humidity of the air and soil properly, so that plants will not have physiological obstacles because the dormancy period is too dry. It's suffocating. Choose a cool night, fill it with water once, and then blow it with an electric fan at full horsepower all night to ensure that the pot surface turns white and the leaf core does not accumulate water the next day.
