How often should I water my morning glory?

Spring is the growing season for morning glories. It only needs to be watered once every three days or so. In summer, it should be watered every 1-2 days because the transpiration is relatively large at this time, so water more often. In autumn, the number of waterings gradually decreases. In winter, the plants are dormant so you don't need to water them. You can use river water, lake water, well water, or tap water.

How to water morning glory

1. Observe the soil in the pot : If the soil of the morning glory is dry, do not water it first. Wait until there are cracks in the soil, then water it. At this time, water it thoroughly.

2. Watering principles : Under normal circumstances, morning glory watering should follow the principle of "don't water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do."

3. Avoid water accumulation : When watering, water thoroughly at one time and avoid excessive moisture in the substrate. If water accumulates in the pot for a long time, the roots will often rot and the whole plant will wilt and die.

Precautions for watering morning glory

1. Watering in the north : If planted in the north, the water will not evaporate so quickly. Therefore, the morning glory in the north can be watered once every 15 days or so.

2. Reduce the amount of watering in winter : Except for the time when the morning glory is just established, it needs proper water control to promote the growth of the root system. At other times, especially in weather with strong sunlight, it is best not to water it until the soil is dry, but to keep the soil moist.

What to do if you overwater your morning glory

1. If you water too much, check the roots first. If you find that the roots are rotten, the first step is to take it out of the pot, remove some of the old soil at the roots, cut off the rotten roots, and apply wood ash or carbendazim for disinfection to prevent its wounds from getting infected.

2. Prepare a new flowerpot, place the plant upright in it, fill it with dry soil, and place it in a semi-shaded place for maintenance.
