How To Give A Suculant Water?

To water succulents, give them a thorough soaking whenever the soil feels dry. For young plants, mist them every 2-4 days and let the soil dry completely between each session. For adults, use a watering can with a small spout or squeeze it if you don’t have access to one. The optimal way to water is to check the soil regularly to see if the soil is dry.

Watering succulents properly starts with understanding their workings and why they differ from other plants. Follow five simple steps to avoid unnecessary watering: 1) Water in the morning, 2) Use a Spray Bottle, 3) Check the soil moisture, 4) Water less in winter, 5) Ensure proper drainage, 6) Group Succulents Together.

Succulents do better with periodic long, deep drinks that soak its soil to the bottom of the pot than regular but timid waterings that wet the top inch or two of the soil in the container. When your succulents’ soil is bone dry, drench it, let it dry out completely, then drench again. Dry out.

The best way to water succulents is with the “soak and dry” method, which involves soaking the soil completely and allowing it to dry completely before the next watering. Aim to keep soil about as moist as a wrung-out sponge. Watering about once a week in summer and once a month in winter should do it.

A general rule of thumb is to water when the soil feels dry a few inches deep into the pot or ground. Water deeply and generously, not spraying or watering on the leaves. You can collect rainwater during the rainy season and use it to water your succulent throughout the year. Water at the roots, not the leaves. A good rule of thumb is to water once every one to two weeks.
