Watering Time and Correct Method for Cattleya
Today's focus is on introducing the watering time and correct method for Cattleya green plants and flowers. Please see the detailed introduction below.
Watering Time and Correct Method for Cattleya
Cattleya is relatively drought-tolerant, so there is no need to water too frequently. In spring, it is recommended to water once every 10 or 15 days. In summer, due to hot weather, water once in the early morning or evening; reduce the watering frequency in autumn; and keep the potting soil slightly dry in winter, so the watering frequency should be much less. It is important to water Cattleya thoroughly each time but not excessively, as this can lead to root rot.
Watering Time for Cattleya
Cattleya is relatively drought-tolerant, so it is not advisable to water too much in spring, once every 10 or 15 days is suitable. In summer, water once in the early morning or evening due to hot weather. Reduce the watering frequency in autumn, and keep the potting soil slightly dry in winter, so the watering frequency should be much less.
Cattleya needs frequent watering in summer, preferably in the morning and evening, as midday is very hot, and watering then can burn the plant. However, in winter, watering should be done in the warmest part of the day.
Watering Time After Repotting Cattleya
It is best to water Cattleya thoroughly on the day of repotting. If the potting soil is slightly dry, water a small amount to settle the roots. If the soil is moist, there is no need to water, allowing Cattleya to adapt to the new soil environment.
Correct Watering Method for Cattleya
(1) Type of Water: Using some natural water to water Cattleya is a good choice, such as rainwater, which is acidic and beneficial for plant growth. If there is no rainwater, tap water can also be used, but it should be left for a few days before watering.
(2) Amount of Water: There is no fixed amount of water when watering Cattleya, as the dryness level in the pot is different each time. More water should be used when it is dry, and less when it is moist, but each time should ensure thorough watering.
(3) Indoor Watering: Indoor care for Cattleya does not require high water requirements. Watering once every half-month is sufficient in spring and autumn. In summer, when temperatures are high and water evaporates quickly, water should be replenished promptly, once a day. In winter, when temperatures are low, watering should be reduced.
Watering Precautions for Cattleya
1. Moderate Watering: Cattleya is drought-tolerant, so watering should be moderate. If the potting soil is too moist for a long time, it can cause root rot, especially during the dormant period in winter. Do not water too much, once a month is enough, or every 1-2 months.
2. Winter Watering: As a succulent plant in the Cactaceae family, Cattleya is highly drought-tolerant. Combined with lower winter temperatures and less home care for Cattleya, watering should only be done when the potting soil is completely dry, and it should be done at the warmest part of the day to avoid low-temperature water freezing the plant.
3. Summer Watering: Watering Cattleya in summer should not be done at midday, as it is very hot and can easily cause plant burns. Additionally, when the air is dry, the plant should be sprayed with water to increase humidity.
4. Excessive Watering: If Cattleya is watered excessively, it is necessary to immediately remove the excess water from the pot and place it in a ventilated area to dry. In severe cases, the rotten part must be cut away, leaving the healthy part, and the wound should be disinfected and placed in a shaded and well-ventilated area to dry for 2-3 days before propagation.
