Determining the correct irrigation frequency for succulents is crucial for their health and survival. The ideal watering schedule varies significantly depending on several factors, including the specific succulent species, the climate, the season, the type of soil, and the size of the pot. Overwatering is a common mistake that can lead to root rot and plant death.
Providing adequate hydration is fundamental to a succulent’s ability to thrive. Observing appropriate watering practices ensures healthy growth, vibrant coloration, and enhanced resistance to pests and diseases. Historically, understanding the arid environments from which these plants originate has informed cultivation techniques aimed at mimicking natural rainfall patterns: infrequent but thorough saturation.
