How to water Podocarpus

Podocarpus is not very demanding in terms of water and fertilizer when it is cultivated. Podocarpus is a plant with relatively strong vitality and is relatively drought-resistant. However, when planting it in potted plants, certain methods of watering still need to be mastered.

First of all, the potted Podocarpus needs to have a certain drainage capacity, and be careful not to let water accumulate for a long time, otherwise it will cause its roots to rot. When watering Podocarpus, the soil needs to be kept slightly dry, generally speaking, it is three parts wet and seven parts dry as flower lovers say. Follow the principle of better dry than wet, and don't over-water when watering.

Secondly, in summer, because the temperature is high and the light is strong, evaporation will be very vigorous. At this time, you need to water more and the soil should not be too dry to avoid the leaves turning yellow.

Notes on watering Podocarpus

When watering Podocarpus, you need to pay attention to the frequency of watering. The specific watering time cannot be rigidly stipulated. It should be decided based on the actual growth of Podocarpus, including the dryness of the flowerpot and soil. Basically, watering should be done when the moisture evaporates and the soil in the pot is dry. If the water evaporates too quickly, you will need to spray water frequently. Water thoroughly.

When watering Podocarpus, please note that it is best to water along the edge of the flowerpot, that is, water along the inner wall of the outer side of the flowerpot.

When watering, you must control the amount of water.
