How to water the Clerodendrum thomsoniae

How to water during the growing season

During its vigorous growth period, the plant needs sufficient water supply, but it does not mean to water it too much. As long as you keep the soil in the pot moist and not dry, you can ensure the water demand of the plant during the growth period.

How to water during flowering period

The Clerodendrum thomsoniae requires very little water during its flowering period. Not only does it not need to be watered, but the petals must be prevented from getting wet. Especially in rainy or stormy weather, flower lovers must move the Clerodendrum thomsoniae placed outdoors and on open balconies indoors, otherwise the flowers will wither and the flowering period will end early. Generally, flower lovers can just judge from the potting soil. The principle is that it should not be too dry or too wet.

Seasonal watering

Taking the most representative summer and winter as examples, in summer, due to the high temperature and high evaporation rate, water replenishment must be timely and sufficient. In winter, it is completely opposite to summer. After all, the Mytilus thomsoniae will hibernate, so the water content must naturally be reduced to ensure that it can safely survive the long and cold winter.

The dangers of improper watering

Many flower lovers often overwater when growing Clerodendrum thomsoniae. Once overwatered, the plant will grow some non-flowering branches, or the leaves will turn yellow and fall off, and the roots will be severely soaked and may develop into rot. Flower lovers can make judgments based on the above symptoms, stop watering in time, and implement treatment.
