The fortune tree is watered every few days
As a popular choice for indoor green plants, watering skills are particularly important among the key points of maintaining Fortune Tree. Mastering the correct watering rhythm can not only avoid the risk of root rot, but also promote the healthy growth of plants and keep the leaves that symbolize wealth always green and full. This article will systematically analyze the watering strategies of Fortune Tree in different seasons and provide scientific judgment methods. Detailed explanation of the watering cycle in the first and four seasons 1. In spring and autumn, when basic maintenance temperatures are stable, it is recommended to water once a week to keep the soil slightly moist. At this time, the air humidity is usually between 50% and 65%. Special attention should be paid to the difference between the heating room in the north and the plum rainy season in the south. When the room temperature exceeds 25℃, it should be appropriately shortened to 5 days for watering. 2. The efficient water replenishment plan in summer doubles the evaporation in the hot season, and it is recommended to replenish water 1-2 times a week. When maintaining the air-conditioned room, leaf spray should be carried out at the same time to avoid the leaf tips becoming yellow due to air drying. If outdoor maintenance plants encounter high temperatures above 35 ° C, the soil moisture should be checked every 3 days. 3. The key point for water control in winter is when the ambient temperature is lower than 15℃, adjust the watering frequency to once a month. In low-temperature environments, it is recommended to use warm water at 20-25℃ to slowly irrigate along the edge of the basin to avoid cold water stimulating the roots. Rooms with floor heating in the north need to be equipped with an insulation tray at the bottom of the flower pot. 2. Double judgment of watering timing 1. Leaf state observation method Observe leaf stretch in the early morning. When the new leaves at the top appear slightly droop and the luster of the leaves decreases, it is the best time to replenish water. Pay attention to distinguish between sagging due to lack of water and excessive growth caused by insufficient light. 2. Soil moisture detection method Insert the bamboo stick into the basin soil 2/3 of the depth, leave it for 10 minutes, and then pull it out. If the tip of the bamboo stick is only slightly moist, it means that water needs to be watered immediately; if the wet area of the bamboo stick exceeds 1/3, observation will be postponed for 3 days. This method is especially suitable for planting containers with strong air permeability such as pottery pots. 3. Additional suggestions for advanced maintenance techniques are to use slightly acidic water with a pH of 6.0 -6.5. Tap water needs to be left standing for 24 hours to dechlorinate. Loose soil operations are carried out from March to April every year to improve soil permeability. It was found that stagnant water in the basin bottom tray needed to be cleaned up within 1 hour to prevent root rot.
Through the combination of scientific watering and comprehensive maintenance, the fortune tree can achieve green growth throughout the year. Keep in mind the core principle of "seeing the dry, seeing the wet" and flexibly adjust according to seasonal changes to keep your lucky green plants alive.
