Self-watering pots
Most self-watering containers can hold water for several days or more. These pots can be great for plants that need to stay moist and useful for plants that need frequent watering. … The soil can stay too moist for succulents and cacti which can make them susceptible to root rot.
In this regard, how do you water succulents automatically?
The best way to water succulents is with the “soak and dry” method. Soak the soil completely then let the soil dry out completely before watering again. And make sure the succulents are in a well draining soil in a pot with a drainage hole (more on that in a minute).
Likewise, people ask, how do you water succulents when away?
Well, sort of. Fill up your sink or bathtub with a few inches of water and lay a towel inside to protect against scratches. Rest your potted plants in the sink and leave them while you’re gone. The soil will draw water up to the roots, keeping the plant hydrated for up to one week.
