Attention should be paid to "seven more" and "seven less" when watering flowers

"For novice flower friends, there are generally two situations. One is that the flowers and plants are overindulged and watered from time to time, so that they are waterlogged to death due to excessive water content. The other is due to neglect of management and neglect of even a drop of water over the years, which leads to the death of drought.

The following are the "seven more" and "seven less" principles of flower watering:

More herbs and less woody

The root system of herbaceous flowers is shallow, the ability to absorb water is poor, the water demand in the body is large, and the evaporation of leaves is fast, so watering should be more and more frequent. The root system of woody flowers is deep in the soil, widely distributed, strong in water absorption, and the amount of water can be appropriately less.

2 more wet flowers and less dry flowers

More water should be applied to wet flowers such as tortoiseshell bamboo and auspicious grass; less water should be applied to dry flowers such as cacti, yulianhua and nantianzhu.

3. The leaves are large, soft and watery, while the leaves with small wax are watered less

The larger the leaves are, the softer the texture is, and the easier the water is to evaporate, so more water should be used; for the flowers with small wax leaves, the water on the leaves evaporates slowly, so a proper amount of water can be used less.

4. More sand soil and less clay soil

The sandy soil is loose and poor in water retention, so it is better to water more properly; the cohesive soil is compact, good in water retention, poor in air permeability, and the watering should not be too frequent.

More hot water in 5 days, less cold water in 5 days

In the hot summer, the evaporation of water on the leaves is large, and the basin soil is dry quickly. The watering should be done timely and thoroughly.

In 6 days of drought, more water is needed, while in overcast days, less water is needed

The weather is dry, the soil is easy to lose water, watering more and more frequently, small basin watering twice a day, big basin watering once a day.

7 more watering in vigorous period and less watering in dormancy period

Flowers need a lot of nutrients and water during their vigorous growth period, so we should combine fertilization with watering more and more frequently; when flowers are in dormancy period, their growth tends to stagnate and water demand is very small, so we should strictly control watering.

How to save the withered flowers?

Potted flowers, because of less water storage in the basin, forget to water, especially in summer, often cause leaf wilting.

The correct rescue method is to move the flowerpot to the shade, spray some water on the leaf surface and water a small amount of water when finding the leaf wilting. After that, with the recovery of stem and leaf, the amount of water was increased gradually. Do not pour too much water at once, as it will cause the plant to die.
