How to Water Plumeria
The editor will tell you how to water plumeria and provide detailed information on the care methods for watering this green plant. Let's take a look together!
Plumeria, also known as frangipani or鸡蛋花, belongs to the Apocynaceae family, and is a deciduous shrub named for its flower's resemblance to an egg. Plumeria is not only beautiful on the outside but also holds Buddhist significance, being considered one of the 'Five Trees and Six Flowers' in Buddhist countries and regions. Additionally, it is the national flower of Myanmar. Plumeria enjoys moisture, and water is crucial for its growth. The following will introduce how to water plumeria properly.
1. Watering Throughout the Seasons
1. Spring and Autumn
Spring and autumn are the most vigorous growth periods for plumeria. It is necessary to supply adequate water to maintain growth and keep the soil moist. The watering frequency should be about once every 1-2 days.
2. Summer
In summer, high temperatures do not affect plumeria, which is heat-tolerant. However, due to high temperatures and rapid evaporation, the watering amount should be increased, about once or twice a day. Additionally, it is necessary to frequently spray water around the plant to increase humidity.
3. Winter
In winter, low temperatures slow down the growth of plumeria, and it may even enter a dormant period. At this time, watering can be reduced or even minimized, about once every 10 days, to avoid waterlogging and frost damage.
2. Precautions
1. Watering Time
In summer, it is best to water early in the morning or in the evening. During midday, high temperatures and strong sunlight cause rapid evaporation, making watering less effective. In winter, it is best to water at noon when the climate is warmer, reducing the risk of frost damage.
2. Water Temperature
When watering, adjust the water temperature to be similar to the ambient temperature to avoid freezing or burning the plant.
3. Drainage
During high-frequency watering, it is important to ensure drainage to prevent waterlogging. Additionally, during rainy days, drainage should also be maintained, and the amount and frequency of watering should be reduced.
