What are the watering methods for landscape gardening maintenance
Let's talk about the watering methods for landscape gardening maintenance and the knowledge of commonly used 4 water-saving irrigation techniques in the field of flowers. Next, the editor will introduce them.
Water is the source of life. For garden plants, supplementing water is the key to their robust growth. The requirements for watering vary from season to season. This issue will discuss the technical points of watering in landscape maintenance throughout the year!
【1】Two important watering points in the four seasons:
1. Spring复兴 water: After the spring begins, the temperature rises and the field evaporation is high. At this time, it is necessary to water sufficiently to help the garden plants quickly recover and germinate.
2. Winter frost water: Before the soil freezes, watering the frost water in a timely manner allows the soil to store enough water to meet the slight transpiration of trees, facilitating the further decomposition of the base fertilizer applied in autumn; it can also increase the soil temperature, stabilize the ground temperature, enhance the cold resistance of seedlings, and help them survive the winter safely.
【2】Watering time:
In the hot summer, the soil temperature at noon is much higher than the water temperature. If watering at this time will cause the soil temperature to drop sharply, the plant roots will be stimulated by the low temperature, obstructing the normal absorption of water. Therefore, watering should be done in the morning or evening in the summer.
In winter, the temperature is low, and the sunlight is weak, so less water is needed. In areas without frozen soil, the watering of garden plants cultivated in the open should be done around noon, avoiding watering in the morning and evening to prevent frost damage.
【3】Watering amount:
Different types of plants require different amounts of water: generally, herbaceous flowers need more water; woody flowers need less water. Ferns and orchids require abundant water during their growing period; succulents require less water.
For the same type of plant, the amount of water needed also varies depending on the growth stage: the amount of water should be reduced or stopped during the dormancy period, and gradually increased during the growing period. During the peak of vegetative growth, the amount of water should be sufficient.
For the same type of plant, the demand for water varies greatly with the season: for example, in the North China region, spring and summer are dry with high evaporation, so watering should be frequent and ample; in the transition from summer to autumn, although it is hot, there is more rainfall, so there is no need to water too frequently.
【4】Number of watering times:
The number of watering times should be determined based on the changes in climate and season, and the moisture level of the soil. Moisture-loving plants should be watered frequently to keep the soil moist; drought-tolerant plants should be watered less frequently, with several days of drought between waterings; mesic plants should be watered "when dry and wet," fully watering when the soil is dry. Moisture-loving garden plants, such as willows, water cypresses, and pond cypresses, should be watered in small amounts and frequently; while seedlings of trees like white wax, five-needle pines, and oil pines are more drought-tolerant, and the frequency of watering can be reduced accordingly.
