How often should I water my lisianthus?

The number of times that lisianthus flowers need to be watered is different in different seasons. In spring and autumn, the plants grow very fast and need to be watered 1-2 times a week. In summer, the temperature is very high and water is easy to evaporate, so watering is needed every other day. The low temperature in winter slows down the growth of the plants and reduces the demand for water, so they can be watered once a month. Watering can be done with river water, well water, or tap water.

Lisianthus watering method

1. Seasonal watering : If the normal amount of watering is in spring and autumn, then the amount of watering should be appropriately reduced in winter and summer, because the frequency of watering is higher in summer. If the soil is moist, it is best to water in small amounts to avoid water accumulation in the pot soil.

2. Watering method : When watering, do not pour the water directly into the potting soil at once. You can carefully let the water seep into the potting soil along the edge of the potting soil. It is best not to use fresh tap water, but trapped water.

Things to note when watering lisianthus

1. Do not water too much : The stage from planting to flower bud differentiation is an important period of growth. A large amount of water is needed at this time. Generally, water is required every half a month. After the flower buds differentiate, the number of watering needs to be reduced, otherwise the flowers will grow too tall.

2. Watering temperature in winter : Winter is relatively cold, and the plants enter a dormant state. The water temperature should also be controlled carefully, at least keeping it consistent with the room temperature, so that the plants will not be frozen during watering.

What to do if you overwater your lisianthus

1. If you water the Platycodon too much and water accumulates in the soil, you need to drain it immediately to prevent the water from inhibiting the respiration of the roots and even causing them to rot.

2. After the plant buds, be careful when watering to avoid water entering the buds, otherwise it will cause it to rot and die.
