How often should I water the longevity flower?

1. When do you need to water?

When watering it, if the soil is not dry, you don't need to water it. Once you water it, you need to water it thoroughly, otherwise the roots are likely to rot. Generally speaking, you can use this method to determine whether it needs watering: insert a stick into the soil, and if you find water on the stick after taking it out, it means the soil is still relatively wet, and it is best not to water it.

2. Principles of watering

Although you need to keep the soil moist when watering it, especially when its buds are growing, there are times when you need to be careful when watering, and it’s better to let it dry than to let it be too wet. The most important thing is that in cold winter and hot summer, when the temperature is lower than eight degrees or higher than thirty-five degrees, you need to cut off the water supply.

In summer, the evaporation rate is faster, and people think that the soil is dry, so they water it frequently. However, the humidity is also high in summer, so although the surface of the soil is dry, the inside may not be dry. If you water it at this time, the soil will become moist and the roots will rot. If you need to water it in the winter, you should use water that is about the same temperature as the temperature in the house. It is best not to overwater it, otherwise it will get frozen or its roots will rot.

3. Notes

There is no need to set a rigid watering schedule for it, because different light, temperature, humidity and ventilation conditions require different watering times. In addition, the size of the flower, the size of the pot and the amount of soil will affect the number of watering times. The best way is to check the dryness of the soil frequently in the beginning, and water it thoroughly when the surface soil is a little dry. With more operations, you will gradually master the frequency of watering.

Secondly, it is also necessary to flexibly change according to temperature, etc. It is a flower that can tolerate drought but is afraid of waterlogging. You should wait until the soil is dry before watering it. For example, it is winter now, so you only need to water it once every seven days.
