Succulents/cacti LOVE water, if waterings are properly spaced - i.e. you allow the soil to dry out before watering again. These kinds of "blanket statement" videos are great intro's for beginners, but they are a starting point and you should expand your knowledge further if you want to see your plants go beyond surviving into thriving. Learn about the particular species, your climate, your soil mix, your growing season, etc - it is extremely rewarding, and will ground you in a newfound sense of wonder, curiosity, and excitement.

I'd say watering once a month is infrequent. If you live in a hot dry or even just a really hot climate its best to water once a week to every 2 and a half weeks. Most likely once every 10 days in the growing season. It is VERY important to water during the growing season or these plants will not be happy.

I agree. Watering once a month may work for Santa Cruz but it won't work for Phoenix in the warm season for example. The plants might hang on to life but they won't be happy. And watering frequency depends on the soil medium as well.

Even in toronto. Mississauga once a month will kill all cacti.

Once a month killed my aloe plicatillis/kumara from root rot. I learned they go dormant in summer and absolutely don't want any water. 😢
@zcoanmcoan1534 Жыл бұрын
@@drusso3532 To say this better, once a month in the growing season. Which these cacti and succulents are in. Also it was possible that all the roots of your aloe dried up from infrequent watering. Therefore, when you water your plant it just sits in water causing root rot.

Many cactus you can water every 2-3 days in non-humid environments. Fertilise too. Grow them faster.

I live in Sacramento and summer is very hot. My succulents all wrinkle up if I don’t water them once a week.

I love the trichocereus Grandi’s and Notocactus scopas. Super hardy! Easy to grow from seed as well

It kinda depends on the time or year and humidity but if I bring mine in during the winter in the Midwest into a house I don’t water it for like 3-4 months and they are doing wonderfully and put on a lot of growth every season when they get transitioned back outside .

Lol if i dont water my trichocereus during winter it would die
@claudekim7876 Жыл бұрын
Yea they generalize too much. I dont see any plant requiring that little water. Unless its a summer dormant plant like lithops. Some cacti suck at recovering roots and some never regenerate it properly and dessication kills them. Turks caps, some older obesas, asterias all will die if left to dry too long. Even ariocarpus need once a week watering in summer. 😅

While if you only watered it once a month it wouldn't grow fast like it's capable of.

I don't think that he is that wrong because i lived in a subtropical climate and i don't water my sedums never, and they received rain a lot in july!! and they have survived. However, i put them under a tree when it is too hot!!

You have to water every day depending on how you've overcompensated in your media. If you've sifted too many fines from your potting soil, compost or coir and graded all you pumice and perlite to be a quarter in and bigger and you live in zone 3 billion sun block and everything has scales and mealy bugs you need to water with a silkwood showerhead every day until you figure out the right ratios for ballast, moisture retention and aeration. Until we've established this and you can control the environment like this sick genius than watering regimens or a lack of it makes no difference.

Not all succulents propagate so easily as Echeveria

IMO most cactus grow in areas that are frequented by monsoons (heavy rain) during summer, why would we not water our cactus heavily in the summer. Makes no sense, if it did all the cactus would die from to much water.
