How to raise a fortune tree in summer How often should a fortune tree be watered in summer

The principle of watering the fortune tree is actually two points: no shortage of water and no accumulation of water. Watering the fortune tree is not to look at the time but to look at the potting soil, the potting soil is short of water, glue the potting soil, do not need to water the potting soil, do not make the mistake of itching your hands without watering.

Fortune trees have a high tolerance for water, and if they forget to water for a few days, they will not die, but if they provide appropriate water at the right time, they will help them grow better. Watering principle spring and autumn can be watered once every 2 3 days, summer can be watered every day, winter should reduce the number of watering, until the medium is dry and then watered. In addition, it is advisable to provide more water when planting outdoors, and reduce the frequency and amount of watering when placed indoors.

The Fortune Tree has strong tubers that can store a lot of nutrients in it, but it needs to maintain sufficient water and nutrients in the spring and summer when it enters the growing season. Basically, it should be watered once every 2-4 days. However, the transpiration effect in summer is obvious, and the water demand is strong, so the water supplement is increased accordingly under the condition of ensuring that the flower soil is well ventilated.

Can be watered daily. The second is "two more and two less", that is, more watering in the summer high temperature season and less watering in winter.

In the summer, it is better to water the fortune tree every 2-3 days.

Unlike many plants, in the summer, the Fortune Tree is not only not dormant, but its peak growth period. At this time, you can water more frequently to meet the water needs of the fortune tree.

In summer, when many people breed the Fortune Tree, they will find that the leaves of the Fortune Tree are wilted, yellow, and some even grow small black spots, which is probably because the Fortune Tree lacks water. The weather in summer is already hot, and the water evaporates relatively quickly, so you should be more diligent in watering.

The right way to water the fortune tree.

1. Watering frequency.

1) Spring, summer, autumn and winter watering frequency.

In every season of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the fortune tree is particular about watering. Fortune trees grow faster in the summer and need plenty of water, and due to the high temperature and high evaporation, the need for water is greater, so you can water more often, once or twice a week. In winter, the frequency of watering should be reduced, and the fortune tree is more drought tolerant.

In winter, it is also possible to water once a month. The temperature is suitable in spring and autumn, watering in accordance with the principle of seeing dry and wet, keep the potting soil dry, and water once a week.

2) Watering frequency in different environments.

Generally speaking, there is a certain rule of watering in the daily maintenance of the fortune tree, but the real operation is still determined according to the environment in which the fortune tree grows. If the tree is cultivated indoors in a small area, its evaporation will be relatively reduced.

The frequency of watering can also be reduced; In the office with a larger space, the watering frequency can be increased appropriately; In the outdoor breeding of fortune trees, the general topsoil should be watered when it is dry, and the watering should be reduced in the rainy season, and attention should be paid to drainage.

2. Watering amount.

The amount of watering of the fortune tree is determined according to the environmental conditions and the growth of the plant, and the correct way to water the fortune tree is to ensure that every watering is thorough, but do not cause water accumulation.

3. What kind of water to water.

The fortune tree likes acidic water, and when watering, some rainwater, river water and other natural water are more acidic and suitable for watering. You can also use tap water at home, but it's best to dry it beforehand before watering. The nutrient solution can also be poured at the right time, but be careful not to pour tea or drinks into the pot, which will have a bad effect on the fortune tree.

4. Watering time.

In spring and autumn, the temperature and humidity are more suitable, and the watering time can be arbitrary, but it is best to do it in the evening before the sun sets. In summer, the temperature is high at noon, so it is not suitable for watering, so you can choose the morning or evening when the temperature is lower, and it is best to water in the morning. In winter, due to the low temperatures, it is better to water at noon, when the temperature is warmer, such as 10 am to 2 pm.

Let's take a look at the basic habits of the fortune tree, the fortune tree, likes high temperature and high humidity climate. The cold tolerance is poor, the seedlings are afraid of frost, and the adult trees can tolerate light frost and long-term low temperature of 5-6C. South China can overwinter in the open field, and the northern part of the country must be moved into greenhouses in winter to prevent cold.

It prefers fertile, loose, breathable and water-retaining sandy loam soil. Prefer acidic soil, avoid alkaline soil or clay heavy soil.

The fortune tree has a strong adaptability to water, and will not be watered by waterlogging and drought in the outdoor water or indoors for more than ten days, and the leaves will not be yellowed due to waterlogging and drought. Fortune trees need to be sprayed frequently to wash off dust.

The reason why it is not easy to water the Fortune Tree is because the Fortune Tree is easy to rot its roots, because the root system of the Fortune Tree is not developed, if there is a little water in the potting soil, it will cause rotten roots, and sometimes the rotten roots will not show up immediately and it will be impossible to save when it is found!

If you have experienced flower friends can see that a fortune tree with a thick fist has almost no roots, which is also the reason for controlling watering, so how to water, the wealth tree of flower friends is generally indoors, and the light and ventilation are not very good, so the water volatilization of the potting soil is very slow, especially in some areas or seasons, the air humidity is high, and it is not easy to volatilize, so if you still water it for a week or a month according to the routine, it will cause rotten roots, so flower friends must touch the soil when watering, wring it out and not wetting. Even if you don't water for two months, you don't necessarily die.

When cultivating the Fortune Tree in the summer, you can water it every 2-3 days, and when watering, you need to follow the principle of "dry watering and wet watering", and then water the plant after observing that the soil is completely dry, so as to avoid water accumulation in the soil, which will lead to water rot in the roots of the Fortune Tree.

1. Watering time

In summer, when the weather is hot and the water evaporates quickly, you can water the fortune tree every 2-3 days when you breed it in the summer. When watering, it is necessary to follow the principle of "dry watering and wet watering" to avoid stagnant water in the soil, which will cause the roots and veins of the plant to rot in water, so as to make the leaves of the fortune tree dry and yellow.

2. Change the pot and soil

Fortune tree is suitable for growing in loose and fertile and humus-rich soil, can be mixed with perlite, garden soil, humus in a ratio of 1:1:1, indoor breeding of fortune tree, every spring according to the growth state of the plant for it to replace the potting soil, to promote the growth and development of the fortune tree.

3. Pest control

Summers are hot and humid, and it is easy to breed a lot of bacteria. When cultivating the fortune tree indoors, it is necessary to open the windows every day for ventilation to avoid the plant being suffocated, and when it is found that the leaves of the plant are yellow and dry due to bacterial infection, the yellow leaves need to be cut off immediately, and then sprayed once a day with chlorothalon, until the leaves of the fortune tree are no longer yellow.

4. Precautions

When watering the Fortune Tree, you can not sprinkle water directly on the leaves of the Fortune Tree to avoid rotting the leaves of the plant, you can use a kettle to water slowly along the wall of the potted plant, so that the water is completely immersed in the soil, and you can also use a watering can to spray some water mist around the plant and on the ground to maintain the humidity of the environment.
