HOW TO WATER SUCCULENTS IN SUMMER 💦☀️ It’s a common misconception that succulents don’t need water or they need very little. They do indeed store water in their chubby leaves and thanks to that they need to be watered less frequently than other plants - but still properly. 💦💦💦 When watering a succulent make sure that the soil is saturated to the deepest roots. Let the water drip out of the pot and empty the excess. 👍 Deep watering will promote healthy root growth, which will result in healthy plant. 👎 Frequent, more superficial watering results in a shallow root system and a less-established plant. ❗️ Drainage is important, succulents don’t like to sit in wet conditions for too long. ❗️ During summer it’s best to water your succulents early in the morning before the temperature rise. If the water heats up too much it could burn your plants. ❗️ During the hot summer months your succulents need more protection from the scorching sun. Their leaves will burn when exposed to too much sun for long periods of time. It would be ideal to move them away from the window for summer. Hope your plants are growing happy and healthy!
