How many days do indoor flowers and plants water?
In indoor green plant maintenance, watering frequency is the key to determining plant health. Many plant lovers often fall into the dilemma of "watering too much for fear of rotten roots, and watering too little will wither." This paper will systematically analyze the core factors that affect the watering cycle and provide specific maintenance plans for common indoor plants. 1. Three core elements of the watering cycle 1. Plant variety characteristics can be divided into three categories according to differences in the original environment of plants and water demand characteristics: ·Aquatic type: For example, the soil needs to be kept moist·Neutral type: leaf-viewing plants such as green radish need to be dry and wet·Xerophytic type: Succulent plants can withstand short-term droughts 2. Seasonal temperature changes·Spring and summer (18-28℃): increased evaporation, shortened watering interval by 30%·Autumn and winter (<15℃): slow growth, halved watering·Heating/air-conditioning season: When the air is dry, foliar spray 3. Environmental lighting conditions In areas with sufficient sunlight on the balcony facing south, the watering frequency is 40% higher than that of rooms facing north. It is recommended to use the finger test method: insert the index finger into the soil for 2 cm, and water it if it is dry. 2. Control table for watering 8 indoor plants·Ping An trees 7 days every time in spring and autumn, 5 days every time in summer, and 10-15 days every time in winter. The air humidity needs to be maintained at>60%·Camellia flowering period 3-4 days every time, non-flowering period 5-7 days every time, and it is easier to drain water with a pottery pot. The fleshy roots of Clivia have strong water storage and can be watered thoroughly for 15 days every time. Pay attention to no water in the leaf core·The growth period of cactus is 20 days every time, and water is stopped during the dormant period. No watering at low temperatures <10℃ 3. Intelligent maintenance techniques are recommended to be combined with modern maintenance tools: ·Soil hygrometer: accurately measure water content·Automatic flower watering device: suitable for short-term business trips·Ventilating root control basin: prevent water accumulation and rotten roots by understanding the nature of plants Water needs, establish a maintenance cycle of "observation-record-adjustment", and cooperate with the monthly fertilization cycle to keep indoor green plants in optimal condition. Remember: watering is not only a technique, but also a process of dialogue with plants.
