How often should sunflowers be watered?

In spring and autumn, sunflowers can be watered every 3 days or so. Water evaporates quickly in summer, so it is best to water them every 2 days or so. In winter, water control must be strict, and it is best to water them once every week or so. Be careful not to allow water to accumulate in the soil, otherwise it will easily cause root rot in sunflowers.

The correct way to water sunflowers

In spring, do not water sunflowers too frequently. Use a sprayer to spray water mist on the soil and keep the soil slightly moist to make the sunflowers grow more vigorously.

Because summer is the season when sunflowers grow rapidly, and the weather is hot and water evaporates quickly, it is best to water them once a day in the morning and evening to keep the soil moist at all times. If the weather is too hot, you also need to spray water mist in the air to maintain the humidity of the environment.

Sunflowers are sun-loving plants that cannot tolerate cold. When cultivated in winter, sunflowers will enter a dormant period, so you should pay attention to water control. Excessive watering at this time can easily cause its roots to freeze, so you need to observe the moisture level of the soil and keep it slightly dry.

Overwatering sunflowers

It is easy to cause excessive water accumulation in the roots and stems of sunflowers, resulting in the roots of sunflowers being unable to breathe normally, and in severe cases, root and stem rot will occur.

If waterlogging is serious, it is recommended to change the soil directly, cut off the rotten roots, sterilize and disinfect it, and then place it in loose, fertile, and well-drained sandy soil, and then move it to a well-ventilated and well-lit place.
