How often should potted plants be watered?

When watering potted plants, it is best to follow the principle of "don't water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly if the soil is dry". It is best to avoid half-watering or waist-watering. Each time you water, you must water thoroughly. It is best to use natural rainwater, river water, or well water, which will allow the plants to grow better.

1. Watering in spring

Potted plants only need to be watered once a week in spring, because the temperature is lower in spring, water evaporation is less, and the plants require less water.

2. Watering in summer

Potted plants require more water in the summer because the temperature is high at this time. You can water them once in the morning and once in the evening every day.

3. Watering in autumn

If the potted plants are in the growing season in autumn, they should be watered once every 1-2 days. If the growth of potted plants slows down in autumn, they only need to be watered once every 3 days.

4. Watering in winter

In winter, unlike in summer, the plants must be watered at noon, and the specific frequency can be determined according to the dryness and wetness of the soil.

Precautions for watering potted plants

1. It is better to use soft water to water potted plants, such as rainwater, river water, pond water, etc. These waters are more conducive to the growth of plants.

2. Pay attention to the water temperature when watering. Do not let the water temperature suddenly change to cold or hot, otherwise the plants will get sick.
