How to water the red pine

The red pine would rather be dry than waterlogged

Generally speaking, plants with fleshy roots like Pinus jimenezum will not mind a little drought, but they will easily die if they are waterlogged. So it is better to let the soil dry up than to water it too much. Haha. But that’s not the case. Of course, it is best to maintain the right humidity and dryness. I just want to tell you that you can reduce the number of times you water the Jihong Komatsu. Don’t worry about it, it generally won’t lack water.

How to water the red pine at different times

Although the red pine has no obvious dormant period and grows all year round, the climate and dryness and wetness are different in each season. Water once every three to four days in spring and autumn, and twice a day in summer. It is best to water once in the morning and once in the evening because the temperature is high and the evaporation is fast. In winter, you can extend the watering frequency to seven to ten days, but you need to use warm water at about 15℃, and it is best to choose a sunny noon, and remember to water thoroughly. In general, evaporation is fast in summer, so water more, while evaporation is slow in winter, so water less.

The soil properties of Pinus jihongensis affect watering

In soil with good air permeability and drainage, water evaporates quickly, but this is not the case with some soils, so the watering frequency will be different for different soils.

In fact, seriously speaking, there is no accurate standard for watering the red pine. Different flower pots, different soils, different ventilation and different climates will affect the number of watering. To put it simply, the actual dryness and wetness of the soil is the ultimate principle for determining watering. I hope the above is helpful to you.
