Agave is drought tolerant but not water-damp. After watering, the roots cannot absorb all the water. Over time, water will accumulate, hindering breathing, and prone to various poor growth phenomena. For example, plants will wilt, leaves will turn yellow, dry up, and roots will rot. After discovery, treat it as soon as possible, ventilate it more, bask in the sun, loosen the soil frequently to evaporate the water, or take it out of the pot to dry it. In severe cases, the soil should be changed and the pot should be changed.

1. What will happen if you water it too much

It is drought tolerant but not wet. If you water too much and the roots cannot absorb all of it, the soil will accumulate water over a long period of time, hindering root breathing, and many poor growth phenomena will occur. For example, yellow leaves, dead leaves, plant wilting, root rot, etc. Therefore, watering must not be excessive. Check the dryness and humidity of the soil before each watering, and wait until it is dry before watering.

2. What to do if you water too much

Excessive watering will lead to poor growth, so timely treatment is required after discovery. Move the plant to a well-ventilated area, increase the lighting, and loosen the soil frequently to allow the water to evaporate as quickly as possible. Or you can take it out of the pot and dry it in the sun, then put it back in after the soil ball has dried. If the water accumulation is too serious, it is recommended to change the pot and soil directly to avoid deterioration of the situation and hinder growth.

Agave does not require much water during its growth period. Usually, watering once every half month is enough. However, the temperature in summer is too high and water is lost quickly, so you need to increase the frequency. Usually it needs to be watered every 10 days or so to ensure the demand for water. Also pay attention to the method of watering. When watering, do not water at the head, nor directly at the roots. It must penetrate slowly along the edge of the flower pot, otherwise it will easily damage the plants. In addition, more ventilation is required after watering, and high humidity and high temperature environments cannot be provided.
