How often should I water the torch flower?

Torch flower likes moisture, but the root system of the plant is fleshy and very intolerant to waterlogging. When watering, you should follow the principle of "don't water unless the soil is dry". Avoid half-wet and half-dry conditions, and don't let water accumulate in the soil.

Torch Flower usually needs to be watered every 3-5 days, but due to differences in climatic environment, there is no fixed frequency for watering Torch Flower.

1. Watering in spring

The torch flower is in its vigorous growth period in spring and has a relatively large demand for water. It needs to be replenished with water in time, and it needs to be watered about once every 2-3 days.

2. Watering in summer

The temperature rises in summer, the light is stronger, and the moisture in the soil evaporates quickly. The soil needs to be kept slightly moist and watered every day.

3. Watering in autumn

The weather turns cooler in autumn, and the frequency of watering is similar to that in spring, basically watering once every 2-3 days is enough.

4. Watering in winter

In winter, the torch flower will enter a dormant period and its growth rate will slow down. Basically, it does not need to be watered frequently. Generally, watering it once a week or so will be enough.

What kind of water is good for watering torch flower

Plants like torch flower can be watered with rainwater. When it rains, collect the rainwater and use it directly to water the flowers. However, the temperature cannot be too low. It is best to leave it for a while before using it.
