How to water poppy

Water requirements at different times

Generally speaking, poppy is not afraid of drought, but is afraid of waterlogging, so don’t water it too often, just water it once every three to five days. Just keep the soil slightly moist each time and you will be able to meet the requirements.

Limit watering immediately after transplanting.

The growing season of poppy is around late spring, when the demand for water is relatively higher. You can water it more often, but not too much and do not let water accumulate in the soil.

When the poppy is in the budding stage, it needs to maintain sufficient water supply to facilitate the plant's growth and flowering.

Winter is the dormant period of poppy, so avoid watering it too much.

In addition, in seasons that are too dry, remember to replenish water in time. You can also spray some water into the surrounding environment to increase humidity.

What time of day should you water?

In spring, you can water the plants in the morning before or after the sun rises; in summer and autumn when the temperature is higher, you can water the plants before or after sunset; it is not advisable to water the plants in winter.

Other issues that should be noted

In order to achieve the best watering effect, we can use a hose to water.

No matter what season you water the plants in, you must follow certain principles, that is, you should not water too much or too little. Specifically, when the surface of the soil is slightly dry, you can temporarily stop watering; after a while, when the soil looks dry and cracked, it will need to be watered.

When watering, pay attention to the flow rate. Watering should be slow and continuous. When the water slowly penetrates into the soil and flows out from the bottom of the clay pot, it can be considered a good start. In addition, be careful to water evenly to avoid the phenomenon of dry on one side and wet on the other.
