How to water lilacs and what to do if water accumulates at the roots of lilacs

1. How to give water

1. Frequency: Lilac likes moisture, but is relatively drought-resistant. It does not require too much watering and requires relatively extensive management. Generally, water is given when the soil is found to be dry. Under normal circumstances, in spring and autumn, you can water it every 7-10 days to meet the water demand. In summer, the light is relatively strong and the temperature is relatively high. At this time, the demand for water is greater. You can water it every 1-2 days. The potting soil cannot be kept in a dry state for a long time, otherwise it will cause the leaves to turn yellow. The demand for water is greatly reduced in winter, and you can water it once every two weeks.

2. Water thoroughly: When watering, you must pay attention to watering thoroughly. If you do not water enough, the roots below will not be able to absorb water, while the surface will be very moist. This will be bad for the growth of the plants in the long run, and they will still dry up due to lack of water.

3. Spraying water: In addition to normal root watering, you can also spray water when the air is dry.

2. What to do if water accumulates at the roots?

Lilacs cannot tolerate waterlogging. If you water them too much and water accumulates at the roots, you need to stop watering immediately and then carefully loosen them to promote water drainage. Place the lilacs in a well-ventilated place to allow air circulation.
