There are many tricks to watering flowers. Flower lovers, come and see how the experts in flower growing water their flowers. They can make the flowers bloom in full bloom without worrying about water accumulation and root rot, and their leaves will be green and glowing!

1. Water when the soil is dry

Before watering, check whether the soil in the pot is dry. You can use a toothpick, insert it about 4 cm into the soil, and then pull it out to see if there is wet soil. If there is wet soil, don't water it yet. Water when the soil is dry, and water thoroughly so that the water flows out from the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot.

2. Don’t use tap water to water the flowers directly

Some flower lovers have no experience and often pour tap water directly into the flowerpots from the faucet. Soon the flowers will turn yellow and wilt. This is because the chlorine content in tap water is high, which is not conducive to the growth of flowers. It is best to air it in the sun for one day before using it to water the flowers.

3. Rainwater and river water are better for watering flowers

Rainwater contains a relatively high amount of oxygen. If it rains, flower lovers can use buckets to collect some rainwater and save on water bills. If you live near a river, you can get some river water to water your flowers.

4. Water temperature is close to soil temperature, which is most suitable for watering flowers

Water temperature that is too low or too high is not suitable for watering flowers. If the water temperature is too low, the flower roots will be frozen, and if the water temperature is too high, the flower roots will be scalded. Therefore, before watering the flowers, it is better to leave the water next to the flowerpot for half a day to allow the water temperature to be similar to the temperature of the potting soil before using it to water the flowers.

5. Watering flowers by immersion pot method

Not all flowers are suitable for the immersion pot method. When the soil in the pot is dry, but the flowers fill the pot and you can't water the flowers thoroughly, you can use the immersion method.

Find a large basin, fill it with clean water, and then put the flower pot in it. The water will seep into the soil from the drainage holes at the bottom of the basin. When you see that the surface of the soil in the basin is moist, you can move the flower pot out.

6. Spraying method for watering flowers

Some flower lovers are inexperienced and have not yet figured out the habits of flowers. In order to prevent root rot due to over-watering, you can find a spray bottle, fill it with clean water, and spray it around the flowers and on the leaves. This can increase the humidity without causing the flowers to lack water.

7. After the flowers are dehydrated, water them like this

Sometimes you are away on business for a long time and cannot water the flowers. When you return home, the flowers are already severely dehydrated and are about to die. At this time, don't water them a lot immediately. First, water them a little to moisten the surface of the pot. Then continue watering after 2 hours to allow the roots to slowly adapt to the environment.

Learn these watering methods.

No need to worry about waterlogging and root rot!
