How much water should be used for a pot of azalea?

1. How much water to pour

There is no fixed pattern for watering azaleas. Watering needs to be supplemented according to the specific situation. When watering, make sure to water thoroughly until the gaps in the soil are filled and water can be seen flowing out from the bottom of the pot. This is one of the key factors in caring for azaleas. And you have to wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering it thoroughly. To make sure whether it is completely dry, in addition to observing the surface of the soil, you also need to knock on the wall of the pot with your hand to make sure there is a crisp sound, and only then will you water it thoroughly.

Too much or too little water is not suitable. If there is too much water, a large amount of water will accumulate in the pot, which will soak and rot the roots, affecting subsequent growth. If there is too little water, that is, half water, the roots will still find it difficult to absorb water.

2. Watering frequency

1. Spring and Autumn: Spring and autumn are the growing seasons, so water them every 2-3 days.

2. Summer: The temperature in summer is relatively high and water evaporates quickly, so watering is required in the morning and evening.

3. Winter: The temperature in winter is relatively low and the growth activity is weakened. It does not require too much water. The soil in the pot needs to be kept moist and watering once a month is sufficient.
