How to water the seven-leaf lotus

How to water in the early stage of planting

When the seven-leaf lily is just planted, it must be watered once, and you must make sure to water it thoroughly to ensure that it has the nutrients necessary for its growth. After that, you can decide whether it is needed based on weather conditions and the moisture content of the potting soil. Under normal circumstances, it should be watered once or twice a day.

Watering by season

How to water in spring

In spring, the temperature begins to rise. At this time, the seven-leaf lily grows rapidly and has relatively high requirements for water. The main purpose is to obtain more comprehensive nutrients through water, so you need to water it in small amounts and multiple times in early spring. After that, you can slowly reduce the frequency of watering. Throughout the spring, you only need to water it every two to three days.

How to water in summer

The temperature is high in summer, so the frequency and amount of watering should be appropriately increased. Generally, water it once in the morning and once in the evening. Otherwise, the seven-leaf lily will easily suffer from drought and die. When the temperature is particularly high, you should often wipe the leaves of the seven-leaf lily with a wet cloth and spray water into the air around it to replenish it with moisture in large quantities.

How to water in autumn

As the temperature begins to drop in autumn, the growth of the seven-leaf lily also enters a slow period. At this time, there is no need to water too much, and the amount and frequency of watering can be reduced. Generally, watering once every three to four days is enough, as long as the soil is not too dry. However, you should also pay attention to loosening the soil when watering to avoid water accumulation. Too much water in the soil will cause its roots to rot.

How to water in winter

The seven-leaf lily requires almost no nutrition in winter. The most important task during this period is to allow the seven-leaf lily to have a certain amount of light exposure. The number of watering can be greatly reduced or even no watering is required. However, when the soil in the pot is particularly dry, you can also water it in moderation, but make sure the water temperature is consistent with the air temperature, otherwise the seven-leaf lily is likely to be frozen!
