How to water avocados and how often to water them

1. Watering in spring and autumn

Avocado grows in tropical regions and has a relatively high demand for water, especially in spring and autumn when the climate is mild and the plants enter the growth period, so sufficient water must be provided. The soil cannot be allowed to dry out, otherwise it will wilt quickly, so water it frequently to ensure a 60% humidity level. It should be noted that this plant is also afraid of waterlogging, so waterlogging should be avoided.

2. Watering in summer

The temperature is relatively high in summer, so water evaporates quickly, so avocados need to be watered more frequently. In order to ensure that the water is better absorbed, it is generally necessary to water it in the morning or evening. The temperature is not high and the light is not so strong at this time, which can effectively reduce water waste. In addition to watering, you should also spray water around it appropriately, which can lower the temperature so that it can survive the summer better.

3. Watering in winter

Avocado is not resistant to low temperatures, and its growth rate tends to slow down in winter. At the same time, as the temperature drops, the rate of water loss also decreases, so less watering is needed. As long as the soil in the pot is not too dry, there is no need to water it. In addition, you should also pay attention to the water temperature. Do not use cold water for watering, otherwise the plants will be frozen. The water needs to be kept close to room temperature before use.

4. How often should I water?

The intervals for watering avocados are different at different times. When the seeds are first sown, they usually need to be watered every 7 hours. Adequate water helps the seeds to germinate. During the growing period, they usually need to be watered every day to ensure that the soil has a certain level of moisture. During the flowering period, the plant should not be too dry, otherwise it will easily cause the flowers to fall off.
