How often should I water the arborvitae?For newly planted arborvitae, water them every 5-7 days. Don't water too much. After the roots and seedlings adapt, gradually change to watering once every half a month. In May and June, water them every 2-3 days. Keep the soil moisture at around 60-80%. In winter, reduce watering to once a month. Water mainly with well water or tap water.Watering method of arborvitae1. Weighing : If the watering time is not long and the flower pot is not very large or heavy, you can use the method of weighing the flower pot to determine whether there is a lack of water. 2. Look at the size of the flowerpot : Small flowerpots are more likely to cause plants to lack water than large flowerpots, because small flowerpots have a small water storage capacity and a large contact area with the surrounding air. Compared with large flowerpots, small flowerpots have a large water storage capacity and are less prone to water shortage. Precautions for watering arborvitae1. Water appropriately : To promote the growth of the roots of Platycladus orientalis leaves, water it appropriately when it is a seedling. After entering the growth period, its water demand increases, so the frequency and amount of watering should be increased, and the soil should be moist. After summer, the weather is hot and dry, so the amount of water should be appropriately increased. 2. Do not water at noon in summer : It is best not to water around noon, because the soil temperature is high at this time, and the temperature difference with the water temperature is large. Watering at this time will cause the soil temperature to drop suddenly, and the roots of flowers and trees will be stimulated by the low temperature, which will immediately hinder the normal absorption of water. What to do if you overwater your arborvitaeIf you water the arborvitae too much, it will cause water accumulation, and the roots will not be able to absorb the water, which will easily cause root rot. The fastest way is to take out the arborvitae, dry it, and then replace the potting soil with new and drier soil. Then do not apply fertilizer yet, and wait until it resumes growth before managing it normally. |
