The correct way to water peonies, what will happen if you water too much

1. The correct way to water

Its roots are fleshy and afraid of stagnant water. The general principle for watering it is not to water unless the soil is dry, and to water it thoroughly when it is dry. The specific frequency of watering depends on the growth stage and season. If it is during the peak growing season and the climate is dry, you need to water the plants frequently and replenish water every three to five days. If it is in the flowering stage, it needs more water, so water and spray it frequently. If it is in the winter dormancy stage, the water requirement is low and water should be controlled. However, no matter when you water, do not overwater and avoid waterlogging.

2. What will happen if you water too much?

Since it is a fleshy root system, it is very afraid of large amounts of water. If you water too much, the plant cannot absorb all of it and water will accumulate, hindering the breathing of the roots. At this time, the leaves will gradually turn yellow, and the entire plant will wilt, resulting in the inability to bloom. Over time, the roots will slowly rot, and if not treated quickly, the plant will die.

3. What to do if you water too much

Excessive watering should be dealt with in time to avoid various growth problems. If it is a potted plant, move it to a ventilated place, increase the wind, and give it more sunlight to allow the water to evaporate quickly. If the waterlogging is serious, you can directly change the soil to avoid root rot. If it is planted in the ground, you can add new soil to absorb moisture, and loosen the soil frequently to accelerate evaporation.
