How to water a potted Australian fir

Watering amount during planting

The frequency of watering the Australian fir at this time depends on the humidity of the potting soil. In summer, it is enough to water it twice a week. In winter, it can be watered less often than in summer.

Watering by season

Water frequently in spring and autumn

They need more water during the two golden growth periods of spring and autumn, but do not let water accumulate in the pots. When the temperature is high and dry, you should spray water on the potted plants and the ground next to them to lower the temperature and increase the humidity. Watering must be done in a timely manner. Do not wait until the water in the soil has dried up before watering. At the end of autumn, start to slowly reduce the number of waterings. This will increase its ability to resist the cold.

Summer watering control

In summer, the soil in the pot should be in a semi-dry and semi-wet state before watering. When watering, you can water in a circle along the edge of the pot. If the weather is very dry, you need to water the Australian cedar pot on all sides to increase the moisture in the air and create a more humid environment for the Australian cedar, allowing it to grow better.

When the temperature is too high in summer and autumn

During the high temperatures in summer and autumn, be sure to water the plant in time to prevent it from being too dry and to maintain the humidity in the pot. In early spring or autumn and winter, the soil in the pot should be a little dry but not too wet to prevent the roots from rotting.

Avoid water accumulation in the basin

From spring to autumn, you should water more often, but do not let water accumulate in the pot. When the weather is hot and dry, you should water both the inside of the pot and the surrounding areas. Similarly, at the end of autumn, you should reduce the frequency of watering to increase its ability to resist the cold. It is also necessary to apply fertilizer appropriately, generally once every two weeks, so as to prevent the leaves from turning yellow.
