How often should morning glory be watered?

When growing morning glory in the cold north, you can water it once every half a month. In the south, even in autumn, the temperature is not very low, and the speed of watering morning glory should be doubled than that in the north. Therefore, morning glory planted in the south should be watered every 3-7 days.

The correct way to water morning glory

1. Because morning glory has a very developed root system and above-ground plants, the water required for transpiration when the sunlight is strong is very large. If it does not get effective water, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off, so do not water it unless the soil is dry.

2. Watering principles : Water thoroughly, but not too much. If there is serious water accumulation in the pot, it will cause root rot and the entire plant will wither and die. The soil in the pot should be well-drained.

Overwatering morning glory

Morning glory is drought-tolerant and can tolerate a certain amount of water shortage, but if it cannot absorb too much water, resulting in water accumulation, the flowers and leaves will droop, the roots will become unstable and shake, and the entire plant will stop growing.

When the morning glory needs to be repotted due to root rot caused by overwatering, be sure to clean the rotten part first. Be quick, accurate and ruthless when cleaning the rotten part. The rotten part must be completely removed. Some parts may not seem rotten, but in fact they have been infected by bacteria and must be removed.
