How to water heather

Key points for watering heather

In spring, summer and autumn, water the heather in sunny weather, either in the morning or in the morning. Water in the morning and evening in summer, and at noon in winter. Observe the condition of the soil in the pot before watering. When the soil is dry, water it thoroughly. Continue watering until water flows out from the bottom of the pot. Also spray water appropriately to keep it moist. Try to choose slightly acidic water for watering.

How to judge whether heather should be watered

Before watering the heather, you should first observe the condition of the soil in the pot. If it is dry, you can water it. If you can't judge the dryness or wetness of the soil, you can insert a wooden stick into the soil and take it out after a few minutes. If it is still moist, you don't need to water it.

How often should I water heather?

The watering frequency of heather is different in different growth stages. It can be sprayed 2-3 times during the seedling stage. When it reaches the medium and large seedling stage, the growth is relatively rapid and the water demand is relatively high, so the watering frequency should be higher. After flowering, it is necessary to reduce watering appropriately.

Should the heather be watered thoroughly?

Heather generally needs to wait until the soil is dry before watering. Each time you water it, make sure it is watered thoroughly until water flows out from the bottom of the pot. The soil can fully absorb the water and the roots will grow well.

Heather watering method

Heather likes a humid environment. In the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, you can water it in sunny weather, in the morning and morning, and avoid watering during cool times. In summer, it is generally watered in the morning and evening, but it must not be watered at noon. For winter, noon is the right time, when the temperature is high and suitable for watering.

What water should be used to water heather

You can use tap water for heather, but because it contains chlorine, it is not good for the growth of the plant. It is best to expose it to the sun before using it.

Heather watering amount

Heather is generally watered with 200-300ml of water at a time, depending on the amount of soil in the pot, the temperature and humidity of the weather. Do not water excessively, otherwise it will easily cause the pot to be too humid or water accumulation, which will also cause root rot.

Notes on watering heather

1. After the heather has just been repotted, it needs to be watered thoroughly. Be sure to water the soil thoroughly and stop when you see water draining from the bottom of the pot. This will promote a close combination of the roots and the soil, which is beneficial to subsequent growth.

2. In addition to normal watering during the growth period of heather, you should also spray water appropriately to keep it moist, but do not spray in the evening to prevent water from flowing from the center of the leaves, which will cause rot. During the watering process, you must alternate between dry and wet. Do not wait until the plant is dry for several days before watering, as this will affect its normal growth and development.
