How often should you water your poinsettia?

1. Watering principles

Before watering it, always observe the soil in the pot and don't water it if it is not dry. If you find that the soil surface is white or the soil inside is dry, add water. When watering, water thoroughly and stop when water flows out from the bottom of the pot. In short, the principle of watering is not to water if the soil is not dry, and to water thoroughly if you do water.

2. Seasonal watering

The specific number of watering times during maintenance should also be determined according to the season. Spring and autumn are the growing seasons. Water the plants every two or three days to keep them slightly moist. During the hot summer season, water is lost quickly, so the frequency of watering should be increased. It is best to water once in the morning and evening, and spray water on the leaves at noon. In winter, you need to control water and pay attention to the water temperature.

3. Watering during the growth stage

Watering should be determined according to different growth stages. If you are in the seedling stage, don't water too often. Usually, watering once every two days is enough, and it is best to do it in the evening. If it is in the growing season, water it frequently, once a day. Water thoroughly and do it in the morning.

IV. Precautions

When watering, you should also pay attention to the water quality. It is best to use rainwater or well water. If it is tap water, you need to dry it and filter out the chlorine it contains before using it. In addition, do not water before fertilizing to avoid damage to the root system.
