Tips and methods of watering potted plants, methods of watering potted flowers

The tips and methods of watering potted plants are as follows:

1. Watering is better with soft water, and natural rainwater is the favorite of plants. This is followed by river water and pond water.

2. Tap water needs to be dried for a day before it can be used, because tap water contains more chemical components, such as chlorine, and plants are also picky eaters!

3. You can't use the water used for washing dishes and laundry to water the flowers, otherwise the growth of the flowers will be ugly. You can use rice water to water the flowers (but I use rice water for my peanut bugs, so you need to be cautious when using rice water).

4. Pay attention to the water temperature, don't cool and heat, otherwise the flowers will get sick. It's better to have water at room temperature, mine is the same temperature as yours, so it's fine.

5. Water volume: more in spring, suitable for watering at noon. Plenty in summer, suitable for late watering. Water less in autumn. Fewer winters.

6. Some plants should be watered in the morning, such as apple trees, legumes, begonias, blackberries, cherry trees, cucumbers, dahlias, geraniums, grapevines, melons, peach trees, pear trees, peonies, plum trees, hooks, roses, strawberries, tomatoes.

7. Some plants like moisture, so they should be placed in a moist place and watered more, such as the genus Bride, the safflower half of the reticulum plant, the fern, the foam flower, the horsetail, the hosta, the impatiens, Louisiana, Siberian and Japanese iris, the donkey's hoof, the mint, the yellow essence, the swamp hibiscus, the white umbrella, the sedge.

8. Generally, plants with thick flesh should be watered less, and watered enough at one time, such as cactus series. Plants with thin leaves should be watered more, but plants with small waxy leaves should be watered less.

9. Plants that grow vigorously should be watered more, while dormant plants should be watered less, and some plants should be dormant in winter, so they should be watered less.

10. Watering methods include pot surface watering, pot sitting method, towel moisture absorption method and drip irrigation method. Plants that cannot be cared for for a short period of time should be soaked with a towel or placed in a large box with wet sand. It is possible to extend the time without watering.

11. Most of the problems in potted flowers are due to improper watering, no matter what kind of potted plants are watered in any season, we must master two principles, namely: "high quality, timely, appropriate amount" and "not dry and not watered, watering is watered thoroughly", that is, each time watering until the water seeps out from the pot plate.

If you're not sure whether to water or not, you can rub your fingers into the soil, and if it feels dry, you can do so.

The most important thing in raising flowers is watering, learn these tricks, and watering any plant will no longer be difficult for you.

There are many ways to water potted flowers, but in fact, each watering method is very particular, and it is necessary to choose the right watering method according to the actual situation of the flowers. Next, I will introduce to you the method of watering potted flowers.

1. Water from top to bottom

Watering from top to bottom is a commonly used method of potted watering, this method is simple and convenient, especially when the granular fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer are applied, watering with this method, the nutrients of the fertilizer can be evenly dispersed in the pot, which is conducive to root absorption. However, if this method of watering is chosen for a long time, the soil nutrients will be lost, and the soil will be compacted.

2. Soak the basin to absorb water

Soaking pot water absorption is to soak all the pots in water, this method is long, can only be chosen by chance, long-term selection of this method, will make the soil hypoxic, resulting in plant rotten roots.

3. Watering the pot

Padding watering is to put the pot into a pot with shallow water, so that the water enters the pot through the hole in the bottom of the pot and moistens the soil. In this way, the soil can absorb all the water, and the root system can absorb enough water, which is very suitable for deep-rooted flowers. In addition, the transplanting of small seedlings and the cultivation of fine seeds are also very effective in this method.

With this watering method, the soil can be prevented from compaction, but it can simply make the salt in the soil rise, accumulate on the surface of the potting soil, damage the rhizomes of the plants, and make the topsoil salinized, so it cannot be used often.

Fourth, drip irrigation watering method

Drip irrigation watering method is to use a thin plastic tube, hang on the pot, in the direction of each pot of flowers to pierce 2 3 small holes, one end of the plastic pipe is sealed, one end is connected to the water source, the water will slowly and continuously drip from the small hole into the soil. This method keeps the soil moist, suitable for plants that need a lot of water, and saves water.
