How often should I water the taro?

When watering the taro, you can divide the seasons into watering. Generally, you can water it once every 10 days in spring. The temperature is relatively high in summer, so you need to water it more often, generally once every three days. The temperature in autumn and spring is similar, so you can water it once every half a month, but it will hibernate in winter, so you can water it less or not at all. Generally, you can use tap water and rainwater for watering.

Watering method of taro

1. Watering during the peak growing season: Generally, the peak growing season for Citrus taro is spring and autumn, so watering in these two seasons must strictly follow the principle of small amounts and multiple times, which can promote the growth of Citrus taro.

2. Watering according to the environment: When caring for Taro, it is best to ensure good ventilation around it so that water can evaporate quickly after watering to avoid water accumulation at the roots.

Precautions for watering taro

1. Don’t water too much: When watering, adhere to the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry. If you water too much, water will accumulate at the roots, causing the roots to rot.

2. Watering in winter: Generally, the growth of taro is slow in winter, so too much watering at this time is not conducive to wintering. It is best to add a little water once a month.
