Attention should be paid to the "Seven More" and "Seven Less" when watering flowers
Core Introduction: This article introduces the common knowledge of flower cultivation, focusing on the "Seven More" and "Seven Less" when watering flowers. Let's take a look with the editor!
For新手 flower friends, there are generally two situations when watering flowers. One is that due to excessive spoilage for plants, they water flowers from time to time, causing the plants to be drowned due to excessive water. Another is due to negligence in management, for years without watering, resulting in drying up. The following summarizes the experience accumulated over the years on the "Seven More" and "Seven Less" for新手 flower watering and shares it with新手 friends who are raising flowers for the first time. Let you have a clear understanding of how much to water in the process of raising flowers in the future.
1. Herbs should be watered more while woody plants less. Herbs have shallow roots, poor water absorption ability, high water demand in the body, and fast evaporation on the leaf surface, so watering should be more frequent. Woody plants have deep roots, wide distribution, strong water absorption, and the amount of watering can be appropriately reduced.
2. More watering for hygrophilous flowers and less for xerophytic flowers. Hygrophilous flowers such as Monstera deliciosa and Reineckia carnea should be watered more, while xerophytic flowers such as cacti, lotus flowers, and Nandina domestica should be watered less.
3. More watering for large soft leaves and less for small waxy leaves. The larger the leaves and the softer the texture, the easier the evaporation of water, so more watering is needed. For flowers with small waxy leaves, the evaporation of water on the leaf surface is slow, and watering can be reduced appropriately.
4. More watering for sandy soil and less for clayey soil. Sandy soil is loose and has poor water retention, so it is appropriate to water more. Clayey soil is compact, has good water retention, and poor breathability, so watering should not be too much or too frequent.
5. More watering when it's hot and less when it's cold. In the hot summer, the evaporation of water on the leaf surface is high, and the pot soil dries up quickly, so watering should be timely and thorough.
6. More watering when it's dry and less when it's cloudy. When it's dry, the soil easily loses water, so watering should be more frequent. Small pots should be watered twice a day, and large pots once a day.
7. More watering in the vigorous period and less in the dormant period. Flowers need a lot of nutrients and water during the vigorous growth period, so more watering and frequent watering should be combined with fertilization. During the dormant period, the growth of flowers tends to stop, the water requirement is very low, and watering should be strictly controlled.
The above content on the "Seven More" and "Seven Less" when watering flowers is brought to you in full. It is hoped that it will be helpful to green plant enthusiasts!
