How to water potted kumquat

Pot size

Watering is a delicate job, and even the difference in flower pots will affect the quality of watering. Some kumquat seedlings are very large, but the flower pots are small. In this case, you need to water more. On the contrary, if the seedlings are very small but the pots are large, you need to water less.

Growth period

If kumquat is in its golden growth period, water it more during the vigorous growth period and try not to water it during the dormant period.

weather

This is easy to understand. When the weather is hot, the water evaporates faster, so the amount of watering should be increased. On the contrary, when it is daylight or cloudy, you can water less.

season

As mentioned above, when spring just arrives, it is the golden time for its growth. At this time, the temperature is getting higher and higher, so the amount of watering should be increased a little. In early spring, watering of kumquats must be completed before noon. The summer is quite hot, and the growth environment of kumquat is also good, but the transpiration is large, so more watering is needed.

As we all know, in summer, you cannot water the plants at noon, so the time for watering should be in the early morning or evening.

In early autumn, the temperature gradually drops and the kumquat flowers bloom relatively slowly, so water them less often.

The temperature is low in winter, so try not to water kumquats that have entered their dormant period.
