"Watering" is very important when growing flowers. Master these "5 principles" and any flower you grow will grow well!

See dry and wet

Keeping the soil dry and wet when wet is the most commonly used principle in the process of growing flowers. The watering method corresponding to this principle is that when we observe that the soil in the plant's pot has become slightly dry, we can water the plant. The amount of water you should water is enough until you can see water seeping out from the bottom of the pot. When watering, do not wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering. This watering principle is more suitable for plants that like to grow in a humid environment.

Alternating wet and dry

This watering method is more suitable for plants that we usually grow at home, such as green ivy, Clivia and other plants, which like to live in a warm and humid environment. The plant itself doesn't like being wet or dry, it's in a moderate stage. Every time you water the plants, generally water them before the soil is completely dry, and water them thoroughly each time.

Dry thoroughly water

This watering method is mainly suitable for plants that prefer a dry living environment, such as cacti and other drought-resistant plants. The method of watering is to water the plant thoroughly once the soil in the pot has completely dried up, and wait until water seeps out from the bottom of the pot. This means that the plant is watered thoroughly.

Better dry than wet/better wet than dry

These two watering methods are mainly suitable for plants that prefer more extreme growing environments. The former is particularly drought-tolerant, while the latter is also particularly water-loving. Both methods are relatively easy to understand. It is better to keep the plants in a dry or humid environment than to water them too much or too little. Mainly used for desert-type plants and plants that prefer shade and moisture.

These are the common watering methods. I hope everyone can clearly distinguish the living habits of their own plants, and then find the corresponding plants that are suitable for their growth habits to water. As the saying goes, "three parts fertilizer and seven parts water" for growing flowers, as long as the watering is done well, it is not a problem to want the plants to thrive! Have you all learned it?
