How many days does honeysuckle water?
As a vine with both ornamental and medicinal values, the key to the maintenance of honeysuckle lies in scientific watering. Changes in temperature and humidity in different seasons directly affect the water demand of honeysuckle. Mastering the watering rules of four seasons is the key to cultivating lush honeysuckle. This article teaches you to create a suitable growth environment for honeysuckle through a detailed explanation of the four-season watering cycle. Detailed explanation of the four-season watering cycle of honeysuckle in spring: The golden period for promoting new shoots is a critical stage for honeysuckle to draw new branches. It is ideal to maintain the soil moisture at 60%-70%. It is recommended to use a long-spout pot to slowly pour it through along the edge of the basin every 5 days, and pay attention to observe that the soil layer is dry before replenishing water. Jiangnan areas need to avoid continuous rainy weather, and northern areas need to cooperate with spraying to increase air humidity. Watering in summer: Flood prevention and drought resistance double guarantees The daily evaporation volume can reach 300ml from June to August. The "morning watering and late spraying" method is adopted: pour the soil through the basin in the morning and spray the leaves in the evening to cool down. In the yellow plum season, a rainproof canopy needs to be erected, and flowerpots must be tilted immediately to drain water in case of continuous rainfall. During high temperature and drought periods, a water pan can be placed on the bottom of the basin to maintain humidity through capillary action. Autumn watering: Progressive water control transition follows the "three reduction principles" from September to November: reduce frequency (7 days →10 days), reduce water volume (full irrigation → half irrigation), and reduce time (morning → noon). After cold dew, water is supplied by dipping basin method, and the flower pot is immersed in the bucket for 10 minutes twice a month, which can not only replenish water but also prevent freezing damage. Pay attention to the upright degree of the leaves, and slight wilting is a sign of successful water control. Winter watering: The key points for maintaining dormant period strictly follow the "three no watering" from December to February: no watering when the temperature is less than 5℃, no watering when the pot soil is not wet, and no watering on cloudy and snowy days. Choose sunny noon and slowly pour 20 ° C warm water along the basin wall to keep the soil water content ≤30%. Heating rooms in the north need to sprinkle water on the ground every week to maintain air humidity and prevent dryness. Advanced tips for watering honeysuckle 1. Soil testing method: Insert bamboo chopsticks and observe the amount of soil carried. If 1/3 of it is wet, no need to water it. Climate compensation mechanism: For every 5 ° C increase in temperature, the cycle is shortened by 1 day, and for every 10% decrease in air humidity, watering is increased by 10%. Differences in potted plants: In the rainy season, drainage ditches need to be dug for planting honeysuckle, and in potted plants, the permeable substrate needs to be replaced every year. By mastering the dual judgment standards of seasonal characteristics and plant status, and cooperating with the golden rule of "watering by the sky, replenishing water by the soil, and adjusting the quantity by the plant.", you can cultivate honeysuckle with flourishing flowers and luxuriant leaves. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log to record each watering time and plant response, and gradually form an exclusive watering plan.
