How often should potted kumquats be watered and how should they be watered?

1. How often should potted kumquats be watered?

1. Watering in spring and autumn: How often to water potted kumquats depends on the growth period. The amount of water required in different growth periods varies, so the frequency is different. If it is in the peak growing season, which is spring and autumn, the water demand is relatively high and you need to replenish water frequently, usually once every three to five days. Also pay attention to the time of watering. In early spring, it is best to do it in the morning and evening.

2. Watering in summer: The temperature in summer is too high, the water evaporates too quickly, and the growth rate is also very fast, so the water demand is higher, and the watering frequency must be increased. Under normal circumstances, watering should be done twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, to meet the water needs. If there is a lack of water and the soil is dry, the branches and leaves will easily dry up.

3. Watering in winter: Kumquat almost stops growing in winter, and the water demand will be greatly reduced at this time, so the amount and frequency of watering should be reduced. It is best to keep the soil in the pot dry. Too much water can easily cause frostbite, which is not good for wintering. In addition, pay attention to the water temperature and try to make the water temperature and soil temperature close. It is best to water at noon to reduce stimulation to the root system.

It is best to water the potted kumquat directly on the surface of the potting soil, and water it thoroughly each time so that the roots at the bottom of the plant can also absorb water. Not only do you need to water, but you also need to spray water to increase the humidity when the weather is dry.
