How often should carnations be watered?

1. How often should you water?

1. When just planted

If it is a newly bought flower, place it in a cool and ventilated place slowly. It only needs to be watered, and there is no need to rush to give it sunlight and fertilizer. Wait until it recovers before taking any action. Water once just after planting, and make sure the soil is watered thoroughly. In the future, you can water it regularly according to its characteristics. Generally, watering once every 3-4 days is sufficient, and the specific amount can be adjusted according to the dryness and wetness of the soil in the pot.

2. Peak period

If it is growing fastest or blooming, you should increase the amount of watering and keep the soil slightly moist. About once every 2-3 days is enough.

3. Summer

If it is summer, the temperature is very high and water will evaporate quickly. In order to allow the roots to grow normally, the frequency of watering should be increased. It doesn’t matter if the soil is soaked, but water must not be allowed to accumulate in the soil. If it is a rainy day, you can stop watering temporarily. If the air is dry, you can spray water into the surrounding air and also spray the leaves.

4. When applying fertilizer

If you want to add fertilizer, you should combine it with watering. If you add liquid fertilizer, you must pay attention to the amount. You can add fertilizer in many times, and then reduce the amount of fertilizer added each time, otherwise there will be water accumulation. Liquid fertilizer should be very light and have a larger ratio to water, so it can replace watering.

2. Precautions

1. Watering does not need to be done strictly at a fixed frequency. The time and frequency of watering should be changed at any time according to the soil weather and the condition of the flowers.

2. In order to prevent the roots of the flowers from rotting, you must grasp the principles of watering. This type of plant likes places with wind and air circulation, without stagnant water. The water must be drained and the soil must be loosened on rainy days.

3. When watering, you can check the condition of the soil by inserting a wooden stick into the soil. If the soil is very dry, water it thoroughly.
