If you water the flowers like this in the summer, they will grow as well as if they were sprayed with pesticides, and all the fertilizer and nutrient solution will be saved!

When to water

1. Water before 10 am

Before 10 o'clock in the morning in summer, the temperature has not yet risen, watering has little irritation to the roots of flowers, and the evaporation is slow after watering, so the flowers have plenty of time to absorb water. It is appropriate to water at this time.

2. Water after 7pm

Watering is more important in summer than in other seasons. Flowers usually wilt in the afternoon. Be patient and don’t water them until the evening when it cools down. Or, feel the flowerpot and water it when it is no longer hot. This will avoid irritating the roots and reduce water evaporation.

3. See if the flowers need watering again

In summer, especially when it is hot, the flowers will wilt a little in the sun, not because they are thirsty. Some flower lovers water the flowers as soon as they see them like this, and the flowers will wilt even more after watering, and the flower buds will all droop.

Not only are light-loving flowers easily killed by watering, but indoor green plants are also easily killed by watering. If you find that the leaves are drooping, turning yellow, and seem to be rotting, it means that they have been killed by too much water.

Flowers rarely die of thirst, unless you really don't water them for ten days or half a month, they will dry up and die directly. Most of the time, we water them too much.

Generally, when you see the soil in the pot is dry, the color becomes lighter, and it becomes powdery when you rub it with your hands, you can water it. You can also insert a chopstick or bamboo stick into the edge of the pot (to avoid damaging the roots), 5-10 cm, depending on the size of the pot.

Pull it up occasionally to check. If the soil in the pot is moist, there will be soil attached to the bottom of the bamboo stick. If it is more than 2 cm moist, there is no need to water it. If it is less than 2 cm, you can water it. For flowers with shallow roots such as succulents, water them only when they are less than 1 cm deep.

What to water

1. Tap water at the same temperature

Many flower lovers use tap water to water their flowers. Some of the water is too cold from the ground, and some is too hot from outdoor pipes. These watering methods are too irritating and are not conducive to the flowers absorbing water.

It is best to find a large plastic bottle, fill it with water in advance and put it together with the flowers, so that their temperatures are similar, and the chlorine in the tap water after sedimentation is reduced, so it is not so "hard", which is better for watering flowers.

2. Rainwater

There is more rain in summer. If your home environment is good, rainwater is more precious than any fertilizer. You can take out the flowers that are not afraid of waterlogging to get wet in the rain. After drinking the rainwater, they will immediately become refreshed and energetic.

Rainwater is also suitable for watering acid-loving flowers, such as roses, gardenias, Milan, etc. Hydrangeas will turn from red to blue when watered with rainwater. You can give it a try.

2. Air conditioning water

In summer, the air conditioner is turned on for a long time, and the condensed water dripping down is also a good thing. Don't waste it. You can collect a basin of it overnight.

Air conditioning water is soft water, and our tap water is hard water, so air conditioning water is more suitable for watering flowers than tap water. It needs to be dried and settled before use, and it is best to use it to water flowers the next day.

How to water

1. Water the roots first

Many flower lovers don't know whether to water the roots or the leaves. In fact, only watering the roots can make the flowers drink water. Watering the leaves is like skin care and beauty. It can be used for emergency water replenishment, but it cannot quench thirst, especially for flowers with smaller leaves. The leaf surface absorption is very weak, so spraying the leaves is useless.

So it is best to water the soil. Flowers wilt quickly in summer. Don't worry. Choose the right time to water them and they will be fresh and lush immediately.

2. Spray leaves to increase air humidity and reduce temperature

Huahua has also taught everyone to spray water on the leaves. Spraying water is not to give the flowers water, but to increase the humidity of the air. Flowers like camellia, azalea, asparagus fern, monstera, white palm and red anthurium... are hot and dry in summer and are easy to wither. Spraying water around the flowers can create a humid environment and lower the temperature.

When spraying water, be careful not to be too close. For example, for succulents that are afraid of heat, we can also use the water spray method to cool them down. However, if the distance is too close and the water droplets are too large and fall on the leaves, the succulents are prone to black rot and burns.

Flowers with fuzzy leaves, such as Gloxinia, Begonia, and Bear's Paw, are best not to spray water around the leaves, because the fuzz is dense and water falling on the leaves is not easy to evaporate, which can easily cause leaf rot.

3. Water less but irrigate more often

If the amount of watering is not well controlled, the flowers can be killed in one go. For flower lovers who find watering difficult, Huahua suggests that you be more diligent, water them more often (usually twice a day), water them a little less each time, and never turn the flower pot into a pond!
