If you don't even know how to water the flowers, it's hard to imagine you can grow them well.

Can't pour it over your head

Generally speaking, it is not recommended to water the flowers over the head for many reasons.

1. For plants with fuzz on their leaves, such as Gloxinia, if the leaves get wet, the leaves will rot. If water is accidentally splashed on them when watering, you can use a paper towel to absorb the water droplets.

2. No matter what kind of plant it is, you should not pour water on the flowers while they are blooming, as this will cause the flowers to rot. At the same time, if water is accidentally splashed on the flowers, you should use a tissue or cotton swab to absorb the water.

Special treatment for special breeds

The special variety that Huahua is talking about here is actually the ornamental pineapple. The watering of the ornamental pineapple is rather special. The water needs to be poured into its leaf cup. Many flower lovers may say, won’t it rot? Actually, no.

The root system of the ornamental pineapple itself is very underdeveloped, so it uses leaves to absorb water. Therefore, water it into the leaf cup.

How to water a flower that has overflowed from its pot

Many flower lovers like to grow succulents, Oxalis, Margaritas, etc. until they overflow the pots. Although it looks beautiful, the problem comes. As Huahua has said before, don't water them too much. So what should we do? You can use the immersion basin method.

1. Immersion basin method: first take a basin and pour water into it.

2. Put the flowers to be watered together with the pots into the basin, and use the small holes at the bottom to let the water seep in little by little.

3. When the surface of the potting soil is wet, take out the flowers.

How to judge whether it is time to water?

1. Toothpick method

First, use a ruler to measure 3cm on the toothpick, then make a mark, insert the toothpick into the soil until it covers the mark, and wait for 1 to 3 minutes.

Take out the toothpick. If the soil brought out by the toothpick is dry, you can water it. If it is wet, you don't need to water it for the time being.

2. Lifting the basin method

For smaller potted plants, such as succulents, you can try it before and after watering. After watering, the flowerpot will become obviously heavier. So before watering next time, you can pick it up. If it becomes lighter, you can water it.

Water quality for watering

1. Flower lovers who are more particular about growing flowers usually collect rainwater, snow water, etc. and store them for watering the flowers.

2. If you don’t want to go out to collect rainwater, you can let the tap water sit for 1 to 2 days to allow the chlorine in the water to evaporate.

3. Or you can put tap water into a bottle and put it under the sun for 2 to 3 days. The reason for exposing the water to the sun is to make the water and chlorine react to generate hypochlorous acid, which has a bactericidal effect.

4. Northern flower lovers can add a little vinegar when watering their flowers, because most of the tap water in the north is alkaline. Using tap water to water flowers is not good for those flowers that like acid.

Watering time

(Author: flowerilove Source: Blog)

1. It is forbidden to water at noon in summer. It is better to water in the morning and evening.

2. In winter, watering is needed when the temperature is highest.

What is dry watering?

1. The so-called watering thoroughly when the soil is completely dry does not mean watering after all the soil in the pot has dried up! The flower will almost die then...

2. Dry out means that the soil about 3 cm above the surface of the potting soil is completely dry, and watered thoroughly means that water is watered until water flows out of the small holes below.
