Understanding the growth habits of Ulmus盆景Ulmus is native to Northern China, liking sunlight, being cold-resistant, and drought-resistant. During the maintenance process, we need to fully understand the growth habits of Ulmus to water scientifically.
Selection of watering time1. Morning: Morning is a good time for watering, as the temperature is lower and water evaporates slowly, which is beneficial for Ulmus to absorb water.
2. Evening: Watering in the evening is also a good choice, but care should be taken to avoid letting the pot accumulate water after watering, to prevent it from entering the night directly.
Mastering the amount of watering1. Observe the soil: Before watering, gently touch the surface of the pot soil with your finger. If it feels dry, it needs to be watered.
2. Control the water volume: When watering, the water should be evenly distributed and penetrate, but avoid letting water flow out from the bottom of the pot. After each watering, the soil should remain moist but not waterlogged.
Watering methods1. Watering tools: Use a spray bottle or a thin-mouthed pot to water, avoiding direct impact of water flow on the trunk and leaves.
2. Watering sequence: Start from the edge of the pot and gradually water towards the center, ensuring that the water is evenly distributed.
Precautions for watering1. Avoid waterlogging: After watering, check the drainage at the bottom of the pot in time to ensure that there is no accumulated water in the pot.
2. Avoid watering in high temperatures: During high-temperature periods, avoid watering Ulmus盆景 directly to prevent leaf damage.
3. Pay attention to seasonal changes: In spring and autumn, when the temperature is suitable, the watering frequency can be slightly increased; in summer, with high temperatures, watering should be reduced to prevent excessive evaporation of water; in winter, with low temperatures, watering should be reduced, maintaining the soil slightly moist.
