When raising flowers, how can you tell when to water?

As the saying goes, "to raise flowers, three points rely on fertilizer, and seven points rely on water". This sentence is enough to prove that the flowers are good or not, mainly depends on the watering, in the process of raising flowers, watering the flowers is a step that needs our attention. Because there will be a lot of influence on the flowers in the process of watering, those flowers are of different varieties, and the way we need to water the flowers is also different.

For some people who have just started to raise flowers at home, they will pay special attention to the problem of watering flowers, if they pay special attention to watering flowers, it will have a bad impact on the growth of flowers.

Many times, we don't know if the plants are really short of water, but rely entirely on our subjective feelings, that is, they feel that they need watering. But this is not the case, if the plant really needs to be watered, it will send a "signal" to us.

Watering. Plants are also spiritual, and if they lack water, they will signal to us. And we need to understand the meaning of these signals, and accurately grasp whether to water the plant or not, if the water is right, then the plant will grow better, and if the wrong water is watered, it will harm the plant.

So how do we need to interpret these signals? Today, I'm here to help you interpret the signals that these plants need to be watered.

1. How to judge the watering time of plants.

The leaves droop

Observe the leaves of the plant often, if you find that the leaves are not shiny, and slightly drooping, and there is a tendency to wilt, it means that the plant is short of water, and you should quickly replenish water at this time.

Observe.

Usually before watering, you can use your eyes to observe the leaves of the plant, if the leaves droop, or wilting, it proves that your flowers should be watered; Another point, look at the potting soil, if the color of the potting soil has become lighter, or it is off-white, it means that the potting soil has dried up and needs to be watered.

The potting soil is dry

You can put your hand in front of the pot and touch it, put your fingers into the two knuckles of the pot, feel the dryness and wetness of the soil, if it feels hard, dry you need to water. If it feels moist and soft, the potting soil is moist and does not need to be watered.

Get straight started

Before watering, put the pot in your hand, and then roughly weigh the weight of the pot, if it feels lighter than usual, it means that the pot soil is dry and needs to be watered. You can also use your fingers to twist the soil in the pot, if the twisted are relatively fine granules, it means that the potting soil is dry and needs to be watered. If it can't be twisted and becomes a ball, or muddy, it means that it is not dry and does not need to be watered.

Weigh the pot

Before watering, you can gently tap the middle of the pot with your hand, if you hear the sound is relatively brittle, it means that the potting soil is dry and needs to be watered. If the sound you hear is heavy and not brittle, it means that the potting soil is moist and does not need to be watered.

The leaves of the flowers have changed, wilted and drooped, especially in summer, the weather is hot, the water evaporates quickly, the water in the potting soil evaporates quickly, the leaves will wilt due to dehydration, as long as the water is replenished in time, it can be restored.

The ambient temperature is different in different areas, and there is no specific conclusion on the time and amount of watering, which needs to be determined according to the wetness of the soil.

An observation method, observe the leaves drooping, the tips wilted, yellow, which has been short of water for at least three days, hurry up and water thoroughly.

Second, observe the potting soil, the surface is yellowish-white, there are slight cracks, indicating a lack of water, and water it thoroughly, so as not to affect the growth of flowers.

Three-touch method, press on the potting soil with your hand, feel dry, indicate lack of water, and water it quickly.

Fourth, insert the test method, with wooden chopsticks, on the edge of the flower pot, gently insert it into the potting soil, feel hard, indicating the lack of water, and pay close attention to watering.

When you want to see when you should water your own flowers, you should first pay attention to the soil, touch the soil in the pot, if it is very dry, then you need to water, on the contrary, if it is wet, then do not need to water.

In the summer, I usually water in the morning and evening, and in the summer, the climate is hot, and after a day of sunning, many leaves look depressed at night. In winter, it is generally watered once a day, or once every two days, and it is generally chosen in the morning or evening.

When raising flowers, we should look at the color of the flower to judge the time of watering, if the color of the flower is better, then we should not water at this time, if the flower begins to wither, then we start watering.

The difference in watering time is mainly due to the temperature. Generally speaking, in the morning and evening, the temperature is relatively suitable, and it is also the time for most flower friends to rest after work, and many flower friends come to water at this time. Aunt Li in Shanghai, who has a lot of flowers and plants at home, and the flowers are well raised, she knows when to water a day, and she is also particular about watering, and she can't water indiscriminately.

-The temperature is high, and watering in the evening or at night -

For example, when the temperature is high, especially in summer, the sun shines on the temperature up very fast, theoretically speaking, you can water in the morning and evening, in fact, many people will not get up very early, and when you get up to water, the sun is already a little hot, and watering is not suitable at this time.

Before watering, you should first assess whether they need water or not. If soil moisture is a very important component in creating flowers, many people are unable to nurture BEM flowers because they cannot water them. In addition to watering, you must also learn to tell when your flowers need to be watered.

To be sure, most people raise flowers because the water is not right, which leads to the death of the flowers. If they are too wet, the roots will rot. If it is not wet for a long time, the flowers will wilt.

How to evaluate whether flowers need to be watered, there will be stagnant water, which can lead to root rot or insect infestation.

During the day, we can evaluate whether the plants need to be watered or not, but in the normal season, we choose different times for the lesson. For example, in spring and summer, we do not owe water at noon. Because of the different temperatures, it is easy to understand whether plants are without water or not.

In fact, it is difficult to understand whether the soil in a basin is free of water, although there are many principles of maintenance and watering available to flowers and how it becomes especially important to distinguish whether the soil in a basin is without water. You can tell by his leaves and branches at a glance. This is also a little bit of experience in raising flowers.

In addition to watering, you should also learn to tell when your flowers need water. It's hard to eat. However, it is fair to water the flowers when the ground temperature is close to the noon temperature. Many flower farmers are accustomed to watering at night. They mistakenly believe that this is the opposite.

<>1. The potting soil becomes dry according to the weight. We can check the weight of the potting soil, if we find that the weight is much lighter, it is the loss of water in the potting soil, which is an important signal that needs to be watered. Another option is to gently tap the pot with some hardwood sticks, if the sound is crisp and pleasant, it means that the potting soil needs to be watered.

2. Furthermore, we can judge by the color of the potting soil. If the color of the topsoil is whitish and you can feel obvious dryness when you touch it, then we need to replenish water in time.

3. The second is to observe the growth of the plant itself. If there is a lack of water, the leaves will wilt due to lack of water, and the color will not be as bright and shiny as usual, and if it is in bloom, most of the flowers will wither quickly.

4. There are many general principles for watering flowers, such as plum, plum blossom, hydrangea, dahlias, geraniums and other potted flowers that like to dry and are afraid of waterlogging, so they should be watered according to the principle of dry and watering. When the surface of the potting soil is completely dry, you need to water it, slowly along the edge of the pot until the water can flow out from the bottom. If the water is not good, the tip of the root cannot absorb water, which will affect the growth.

However, watering thoroughly is not the same as watering, watering should also be done in moderation, if watering, the fertile soil nutrients in the potting soil will be lost with water.

5. For rhododendrons, camellias, Milan, Nantian bamboo, hydrangeas, evergreen and other flowers that like moisture and are not resistant to water, they should be watered according to the principle of seeing dry and wet, and watering when the potting soil is white, and watering until it is moist. Don't wait until the potting soil is dry, and don't water too much. To make the potting soil dry and wet, neither long-term drought nor frequent wetting, but dry and wet.

6. Centipede grass, calla lily, monstera, umbrella grass and other potted flowers that like large water should be watered according to the principle of preferring wet rather than dry, and the potting soil should be kept moist and not dehydrated. Flowers such as pine and succulents, for dry and drought-tolerant flowers and trees, should be watered according to the principle of preferring dry to wet, to dry thoroughly before watering, never watered.

If you need to determine the time to water the plant, it is generally a set time, such as once every two weeks, but it depends on what kind of plant it is, and each plant will have its own water needs.

First of all, you should water each pot of flowers how often, make a small card for reference reminders, or you can choose some flowers with similar maintenance methods and determine the time to water together.

The first point is that you should pay attention to the amount of it to master well, and it is to use that kind of watering can, the effect is not good, it can be sprayed on the flowers, and then it can absorb the water inside, which is very good for the body.

You can see if it's particularly dry, if it's particularly dry, you can be sure that it's time to water, if there is still a certain humidity, you don't need to water.

In the process of raising flowers, we are very worried about the problem of watering, because water is the root of all plants, but also the root of destroying all plants, there may be flower friends do not understand what is happening, in fact, everyone knows very well that watering normal plants will grow very well, too much watering will rot because of the water in the soil, then if we want to determine whether potted flowers need to be watered during the breeding period, we can determine through the following points.

1. Look at your potted flowers like drought or like water.

For example, if your potted flowers belong to cactus succulent plants, then you must not water too frequently, half a month or even once a month; If your potted plant is a water-loving hanging orchid, then you should be more diligent in watering, watering thoroughly from time to time, and spraying the potted flowers on the leaves with a water bottle often.

2. Observe the dry and wet state of the potted soil.

Most flowers tend to be neutral in terms of wet and dry requirements, so we can determine if we need to water based on the conditions of the potting soil. First of all, by observing, if the potting soil is white in color or even dry and cracked, it needs to be watered as soon as possible; Then by touching, inserting a finger or a small shovel into the potting soil, the hair tray is hard, the soil surface or shallow without wet soil, then watering is required.

2. Look at the condition of potted flowers.

Under normal conditions, the plant grows vigorously, the leaves are sparkling, and the flowers are full and bright. If you are in a state of dehydration, the leaves will become soft and wilted, the flowers will open weakly, and even the petals will fall off, a state that is actually a reminder that you should water. For most flowers, our watering principle is to water thoroughly immediately and then thoroughly once the potting soil has dried out.

This will ensure that potted flowers need water and prevent root systems from rotting due to excessive water retention.

Summary. There are many ways to determine whether potted flowers need to be watered, in fact, there are many methods, in addition to the above 3 common methods, you can also determine by the weight of potted plants, or by using toothpicks and other methods, as long as they are consistent with your own, the method that can be accurately and conveniently determined is a good method, after watering, the plant is not so easy to wither.

Of course, this is some of my personal views and some of my own experience, I also hope to help you, if you have other questions or questions, please feel free to leave a message below the comment, remember to like and follow.

If the soil is already very dry and the flowers have begun to wilt, then it is necessary to water them in time. The specific method is to pour the water slowly into the soil of the pot, and remember not to pour it on top of the flower.

First understand the habits of this flower, observe the dryness and wetness of the soil, and you can determine whether it needs to be watered. Specifically, look at the picture inside the pot, and water it if it is dry, but don't use it if it's wet.

See if the soil in the pot is moist, if the soil in the pot is moist, there is no need to water; If the soil in the pot is cracked, then the flowers are short of water and need to be watered in time.

1. Leaf changes: to judge whether to water the flowers, you can observe the changes in the leaves, when the flowers are short of water and need to be watered, the leaves will turn yellow, there are signs of dryness, and the reeds will also be shriveled and yellow. There will be changes in both the old leaves and the new leaves, the old leaves will start to turn yellow from the tip of the leaves, and the green color of the new leaves will not be noticeable and will look dull.

2. The flower pot becomes lighter: you can weigh the weight of the flower pot with your hands, and the flower pot is obviously lighter, which is the water in it evaporated, and then the weight becomes lighter. In this case, the plant should be watered in time to provide adequate moisture.

3. Soil changes: You can judge whether to water the flowers through the changes in the soil, the color of the soil surface will become lighter and grayish-white, and the soil will be powdery if you twist the soil by hand. Tap the area around the pot with your finger joints, and the sound will be crisper.

Put your finger in it, and if it's dry, it means it's dry, and it's ready to be watered.

If you water too much, a lot of water will flow out of the bottom of the pot, and over time, the roots will rot, affecting the normal growth of the plant and causing problems with the leaves.
