How often should I water my boxwood?In spring, summer and autumn, the small-leaf boxwood plant is in the growth period and has a greater demand for water, so watering is more frequent. In spring and autumn, water it once every 2-3 days. In summer, due to the rapid evaporation of water, water it once a day. In winter, the plant grows slowly, so water it once every 5-7 days. River water is the main watering method, but purified water in daily life can also be used.Watering method of boxwood1. Observe the branches and leaves : If the leaves of the small-leaved boxwood wilt or even the branches droop noticeably, it means that there is a lack of water in the pot. However, when the water shortage just begins, the leaves may not show it so obviously. You can judge by the brightness of the leaves and check whether the soil in the pot is obviously dry and cracked. 2. Observe the soil : If the soil particles are gray or lighter in color, it means that the soil in the pot is a little dry and needs to be watered in time. If the color is dark and the soil is brown, it means that the soil is moist and no watering is needed for the time being. Precautions for watering small-leaf boxwood1. Do not water too much : The water requirement of small-leaf boxwood is relatively large. During normal irrigation, the soil in the pot should be kept moist, but do not water too much to cause waterlogging and root rot. 2. Reduce the amount of watering in winter : In addition to normal watering in summer, you can also spray water mist on the plants to increase humidity. In winter, the climate is cold, so reduce the amount of water applied to avoid frost damage. What to do if you water boxwood too much?If you water the small-leaf boxwood too much, the roots will not be able to breathe well and nutrients cannot be transported, causing the upper leaves to wilt or dry. At this time, you can cut off the dry parts, take out the small-leaf boxwood and put it in a cool, dry place, wait until it is dry, and then put it in a position with scattered light. |
