It only takes 5 seconds to know whether your flowers need watering

1. Tapping method

Use your finger joints to gently tap the upper and middle wall of the flowerpot. If a crisp sound is heard, it means the soil in the pot has become dry and you can water it immediately. If the flowerpot makes a dull sound, it means the soil is still moist and you don't need to water it for the time being.

2 Visual inspection

Another way to determine whether it is time to water is to observe whether the color of the soil surface in the pot has changed. If you find that the soil in the flowerpot becomes lighter in color or turns grayish white, it means that the soil has become dry and you can water it; if the soil is still brown or grayish brown, you don't need to water it for the time being.

3-finger test

The easiest way is to use your finger to test whether the flower pot should be watered. Gently insert your finger into the soil about 2 cm deep and touch the soil. If the soil feels dry and hard, it means that the soil has dried out and needs to be watered immediately. If the soil feels slightly moist and the soil is fine and soft, then there is no need to water it for the time being.

4. Pinch and twist method

Use your fingers to pinch the soil in the pot. If you find that the soil has turned into powder, it means that the soil has become dry and you can water it immediately. If the soil in the pot is still in flaky or lumpy shape, it means that the soil is still moist and there is no need to water it for the time being.

5-wood test method

If you don't want to use the finger test, you can choose to find a small wooden stick. Insert a small wooden stick about 5 cm into the flowerpot. If you pull it out and find that the soil on the stick is dry, it is time to water the plant. If the soil brought out by the stick is still wet, then there is no need to water it for the time being.

6. Weigh the flower pot

The last method I would like to introduce to all flower lovers is the pot-lifting method. Lift the flowerpot and feel it. If you can feel that the flowerpot has become noticeably lighter, then you should water it. If you don't feel that the flowerpot has become noticeably lighter, then wait for a while before watering it again.

7. Soil Moisture Meter

The above tips introduced by Huahua for judging whether to water can only judge the approximate condition of the dryness or wetness of the potting soil, but cannot accurately judge whether the potting soil is dry or wet.

If you want to know exactly whether the soil in the pot is dry or wet, you can buy a soil moisture meter and insert it into the soil to know exactly whether you should water it.

Huahua introduced these tips,

Have all the flower lovers learned it?
