Methods for watering kaffir lilies:
Conditions such as temperature, humidity, size of the pot, permeability of the soil (breathability), and season vary from home to home. The interval between watering should not be fixed. It should be considered according to the changes in the environment.
I will tell you a few tips to determine whether it's time to water:
1. Tap. Gently tap 1/2 to 1/3 of the pot, and if the sound is crisp, it indicates that the soil lacks water and needs watering. A dull sound means the soil is moist and does not need watering.
2. Lift. Feel the weight of the pot before watering, then lift the pot again after watering. With experience, you can tell whether it's time to water just by lifting the pot.
3. Probe. This is the most direct method. Insert your finger about 1/3 into the soil to feel the moisture. If it's moist, there's no need to water. If it's damp, prepare to water. If it's slightly damp, it's time to water.
Water kaffir lilies thoroughly, and it's best to use the "sitting pot" method at home. This means placing the pot of the kaffir lily in a basin to water it, and the water that flows out of the pot can be saved for the next watering. This way, the soil is easily watered thoroughly, and the nutrients that flow out of the pot are not wasted. When watering, also be careful not to pour water into the leaf core. If water accidentally enters the leaf core, you need to immediately use absorbent paper or cotton to absorb the water.
