The best time to water sea buckthorn, how often to water sea buckthorn trees

1. Watering time

Sea buckthorn needs to be watered all year round, and the watering time is not fixed every day. Generally, watering is done in the early morning or evening, when the temperature is not high and the light is not strong. The water will not evaporate so quickly after watering, and can be better absorbed after it seeps into the soil. It should be noted that in summer, you must not water at noon. Since water evaporation absorbs heat, the soil temperature will drop sharply, which is not conducive to the development of the plants.

2. Watering interval

Sea buckthorn itself has good drought resistance and does not require much water, so it can be watered appropriately during the growing period. Usually water is applied every 3-4 days in spring and autumn. In summer, due to the high temperature, water evaporates quickly and watering is needed almost every day. For some drier areas, watering can be done twice a day. In winter, the watering cycle should be extended, and generally once a week is enough.

3. Water temperature and water quality

When watering sea buckthorn, you need to pay attention to the water temperature and water quality. Do not use tap water directly for watering. It is best to use rainwater or river water. Tap water should be allowed to air before use to allow the chlorine to evaporate. When watering in winter, you must pay attention to the temperature. Usually, you should put the water indoors and make sure it is close to room temperature. If it is too cold, the roots of the plant may be frozen.

IV. Precautions

If you water sea buckthorn too much, be sure to drain it. This plant is not tolerant to waterlogging. Waterlogging the roots will cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off, and will also affect its growth. Therefore, if you water too much, you need to loosen the soil appropriately and pay attention to ventilation so that the water can evaporate as quickly as possible.
