How should plants be watered?

Question 1: How to water indoor plants? When you see the soil surface of the basin turn white, you usually water the sea. Pay attention to watering thoroughly until water flows from the bottom of the basin. Don't sprinkle a little water at a time. Generally speaking, don't water indoors for at least a week.

Question 2: How to water flowers is the main management work of family flower cultivation. Water is an important part of plants and an indispensable main substance for physiological activities.

(1) yard watering

Water must be replenished in dry season to keep the soil moist, and drainage must be paid attention to in rainy season to prevent the roots from suffocating and dying due to stagnant water and lack of oxygen.

Water temperature and soil temperature shall not exceed 5℃ when watering. Water in the morning and evening in summer and around noon in winter.

(2) Water potted flowers

(1) The principle of watering is to dry it and wet it. If it is dry, don't water it, water it when it is dry, and water it thoroughly when it is wet.

Dry, wet and wet means to make the soil dry and wet. It not only ensures the water supply of flowers and trees, but also makes the pot soil breathable and protects the root system development.

The standard of dryness is that the upper layer of the basin soil is dry, the bottom soil still has moisture, plants grow normally or the leaves wilt briefly at noon.

The water shortage of flowering plants is first manifested as the wilting of petals. When leaves and flowers are found to be dehydrated, they must be replenished immediately. To restore life.

The principle of thorough watering is that water seeps from the bottom of the basin, and the half-waist water wet on the basin soil and dry on the bottom of the basin is a taboo in the management of potted flowers, which will cover up the essence of water shortage with the wetting phenomenon on the surface of the basin soil, leading to the death of roots due to water shortage. Plants without water can hardly be revived by watering again.

(3) More or less watering.

Herbs are watered more and woody plants are watered less; Water the flowers more during the tide and less during the drought;

Water each other more between leaves, and wax and water less between leaves;

There is more water in the vigorous growth period and less water in the dormant period;

Small pot seedlings are watered more, but small pot seedlings are watered less;

The balcony is watered more and the courtyard is watered less; Water more in summer and less in winter; Sunny, dry, with water; Water less on cloudy days;

Water the pregnant buds more and the flowers less.

(4) Rescue of drought, dehydration and waterlogging and rotten roots

Due to long-term drought and dehydration, the stems and leaves of woody plants have withered, but the stems are still alive. It should be placed in the shade first to reduce the evaporation of water from plants. And spray water to keep the humidity of the environment above the ground. After watering the roots, it is not advisable to replenish water continuously to prevent the roots from lack of oxygen. According to the principle of alternating dry and wet, keep the soil breathable, promote new roots and restore vitality. Plants with serious water loss should be pruned appropriately according to the growth state of the upper part of the base, which is conducive to re-sprouting leaves.

After a long period of rainfall, the soil in the basin accumulated water, the plants were flooded, the branches and leaves withered, and they lost their minds. Therefore, plants should be moved out of the pot with the soil and placed in a cool and ventilated place to release the soil moisture at the roots. After 3-5 days, they should resume growth and then go to the basin. If it rains continuously, outdoor potted plants can turn sideways. Avoid stagnant water. If it rains for a long time, it will suddenly clear up and the sun will be strong. If plants are exposed to the sun, they will die because of damaged root growth and excessive transpiration of branches and leaves, resulting in serious water loss. Therefore, we should pay attention to strict water control, relocation and re-shading.

(5) Different watering methods

Potted flowers should be watered, and most of them should avoid showering their heads. Flowers and leaves of Erythrina macrophylla and African violet. It will rot when it gets wet with water. The pineapple flower needs to be watered in the head, so that the leaf tube can be stored to meet the growth needs. Orchids and arrowheads should be properly watered to improve the air humidity in the cultivation environment.

Indoor foliage plants have different demands for water according to their different growth characteristics. Araceae plants such as Dendrocalamus giganteus, Spring Feather, Calla lily, Pteridophyte, Eclipta prostrata, etc. It belongs to wet flowers, so watering should be wet and not dry, but don't accumulate water. Succulent plants such as Huwei Lan, Aloe Vera, Sedum and cactus are all xerophytes, so watering dry is better than wetting. Prevent excessive water from corroding the roots. Most other plants, such as asparagus, cycads, begonia, etc. It belongs to mesophyte flowers, and the soil moisture is too dry or too wet, which has adverse reactions. Spitter masters the principle of dryness and wetness.

Question 3: When is the best time to water the plants? How many times a day should I water it? Simply put, xerophytes would rather be dry than wet. Such as colored cactus.

Neutral plants are wet when they are dry, which means watering them when they are dry. In addition, water the soil when it is dry. Pour it all at once, don't stop halfway.

Wet plants are better wet than dry.

The watering temperature should be within 5 degrees Celsius of the ambient temperature.

If it is the first aid for severe water shortage, use warm water of 38-40 degrees Celsius and cut off withered leaves at the same time.

The watering time is usually 8-9 am.

Water less than usual before flowering.

When the temperature is low or the flowers are dormant (some flowers stop growing in winter and some stop growing in summer), water them less.

Before watering the flowers, it is best to store them indoors in a sunny place for 2-3 days.

When should I water it?

Get through it if you don't do it. This is a classic answer that is often heard when asking for advice from people in the industry. It is easy to say, but it is quite difficult to do. The difficulty is how to do it and how to calculate it. It took me more than ten years to realize some truth, but I can only achieve the degree of "no * * *, no drowning". It can be said that most people who raised bonsai for the first time were drowned by water, while * * * was relatively few. Because I like it, I dare not continue watering when it is dry, and disaster happens. So, how to tell whether the soil is dry or wet? The following are some previous experiences. You may wish to understand that there may be some benefits: first, watching and second, playing. The soil in the basin turns white and cracks appear in the soil at the edge of the basin, which is a sign that the soil in the basin is dry; The basin soil is dark brown and has no cracks, which is the performance of soil wetness. Tap the basin wall with your fingers. The soil is dry when you hear the crisp sound; When the sound is turbid, the soil is still wet. You can also feel the empty shell feeling when the impact indicates that the basin soil is dry, and the firm feeling indicates that the basin soil is still wet. It should be noted that the wetting and drying of basin soil is not always based on this standard, and the thickness of new soil and old soil, coarse soil and fine soil and basin will be different. Therefore, it is best to make a comprehensive judgment by observing the leaf color and leaf phase of the plant, clicking on the hardness of the pot soil and the weight of the pot. It should also be noted that not all pots are wet and dry, so it is necessary to treat them differently, whether to water them or not, and how much water to water them depends on the actual situation. The most fundamental thing is to pay attention to observation at ordinary times and accumulate experience in practice, so as to make a correct judgment and follow suit.

Second, the water matters needing attention

1. Dry thoroughly and pour in enough water.

This is beneficial to the normal growth of plant roots and the absorption of water. If the pot soil is not too dry, it will not affect the growth of plants. However, if the weather is hot in summer, on the balcony, insufficient water will lead to low surface temperature and high bottom temperature of the basin soil, which will easily lead to root rot. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to pour enough water to fully cool the pot soil and achieve the purpose of protecting the root system.

2. Don't water it often.

Adequate watering does not mean frequent watering. If you water too often, the soil will be too wet, especially if you water too much continuously, the soil will always be in a wet state, and the air in the soil will be excluded, and if it is not replenished for a long time, the root system will be deprived of oxygen and rot. Rotten roots further affect water absorption. If this vicious circle continues for a long time, plants will die. Therefore, if it is found that the basin soil is not easy to dry, it means that the root system is blocked from absorbing water, so it is necessary to reduce watering. If there are rotten roots, it is best to prune them, and then plant them after strong cutting of branches and leaves. After careful maintenance, it is still expected to recover. Due to the omission of watering, the pot soil is too dry, which often causes a lot of fallen leaves or dead branches at the top. It is possible to recover if it is not dried for a long time, watered in time and carefully maintained. If the soil is too wet for a long time and the roots rot and dry from bottom to top, it will be difficult to preserve, so novices should pay more attention.

3. Don't water it half way.

The basin should be flat, and the water should be poured evenly, not half. If the water in the basin is uneven, it will naturally drip to one side, and the soil in the basin will be dry and wet for a long time, which will directly affect the normal growth and development of bonsai, and even "turn green" due to local water shortage. The so-called half-water means that the amount of watering is too small, and the water can't penetrate the bottom of the basin, resulting in the upper part being wet and the lower part being dry. Over time, trees will also die. Sometimes the basin soil is too dry and cracked seriously, and the water quickly loses from the cracks when watering. At this time, you have to wait for a while, let the soil rise a little, and make up the water once or twice until the basin is soaked; If there is moss on the basin surface, water will slip off the moss in a dry state and cannot be poured in. At this time, water should be poured several times or sprayed on the basin surface to make the moss wet before watering, so that water can easily penetrate into the soil.

4. Check the washbasin in the rain (after)

Rainy days, especially thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, will cause water in the basin, which should be treated in time to prevent water from staying in the basin for a long time. Sometimes the thunder is loud, the rainfall is small, the time is short, and it looks like a basin of soil ... >>

Question 4: How to judge whether plants and flowers need watering? Chengdu Eden Flowers will be happy to answer your questions and hope to adopt them.

What is the hardest thing to grow flowers? I believe that every florist's answer is different, but it is meaningless to say that watering is extremely important in the process of growing flowers.

For example, orchids, there is an old saying: "Water orchids in three years." It can be seen how important it is to water flowers or green plants, and it is even more daunting to judge whether flowers need watering.

Here are four common ways to judge watering flowers.

Observation method

This is equivalent to observation and questioning in Chinese medicine, and it is also the most commonly used method to judge whether flowers need watering.

On the one hand, we can judge by observing the color change of the soil in the flowerpot: when the color of the soil becomes lighter or even whiter, it means that the soil is dry and should be watered in time; If the color is dark brown, there is generally no need to water it. If there is water or seepage on the soil surface, it means there is too much water.

If the water shortage of plants is too serious, the branches and leaves will wither and droop, the leaves will turn yellow and the flowers will wither and fall off.

Tactile method

Some experienced flower farmers, old farmers and vegetable farmers like to dig some soil with their fingers, judge the moisture in the soil by feeling the humidity with their fingers, and then decide whether to water it.

The method is also very simple: twist a small amount of soil. If the soil is easily ground into powder, it means that the soil is dry and needs watering. If the soil sticks to your fingers and is granular and difficult to disperse, you can temporarily not water it.

Some people don't water much, which makes their surfaces wet, but their hearts are thirsty. Then you can gently insert your finger into the soil below 2cm and feel the soil. If it is delicate and soft, it means that there is enough water.

method of specific gravity

This method is somewhat similar to picking watermelons. Tap the middle part of the flowerpot with your finger or a small stick. If the sound is crisp, it means that the soil is dry and needs watering. If the sound is dull, it means that the soil is wet and there is no need for watering for the time being.

But this method is more suitable for clay flowerpots. For plastic flowerpots, you can weigh them by hand. If they are lighter than normal, it means they need watering.

Tool method

The above three methods are relatively simple, but the conclusion is easy to be subjective, reliable and unreliable. After all, we can only make a general understanding through sensory judgment.

If flowers are more precious and you prefer to know accurate data, then you can buy a soil hygrometer or soil tester, the price ranges from 20 yuan to 100 yuan, which can be prepared to help you measure soil humidity, pH and even the illumination of the environment.

It is cost-effective to invest dozens of pieces at a time and easily control the watering of flowers.

Question 5: How to plant greening and watering?

1. Different varieties have different watering techniques. Among many foliage plants, some species have strong drought resistance, but others are weak. Therefore, the same watering method cannot be used for all foliage plants. For example, Eupatorium adenophorum and Eupatorium adenophorum are succulent plants with strong drought resistance. Even if the soil surface is dry, it can be watered after two or three days. Taro, fern and other fruits have strong water preference, so the soil surface should be watered immediately after drying. In addition, no matter what kind of plants are watered, they should be fully watered until the bottom of the basin oozes water.

2. Spraying plants has many advantages. The so-called "spraying" refers to spraying water droplets on leaves or whole plants. Spraying water with watering can wash away pests and dust left on the surface of stems and leaves, restore the bright color of leaves and enhance the digestion and absorption ability. Using hand-held watering can also enhance the indoor air humidity and purify the living environment. Ferns in particular should pay attention to frequent water spraying. * Water the plants with the support pole, not only the soil should be thoroughly watered, but also the support pole should contain water. * When the water supply device goes out, fix the plastic bag filled with water next to the flowerpot, put one end of the sponge in the plastic bag and the other end on the soil, so that water can be supplied for 3-4 days.

Question 6: How much water should I water the plants? How to water the flowers ◆ Pay attention to the water quality. Clean fresh water without salt and alkali is better. Generally, it is better to water potted tea with rainwater. When using tap water, it should be stored for a certain period of time, and then used after the chlorine in the water volatilizes. Well water contains all kinds of impurities. The rice washing water and waste water replaced in the goldfish bowl can also be used to water potted flowers. Never use washing water and oily dishwashing water containing soap or soap powder. For camellia, rhododendron, orchid, Clivia and other flowers that need acidic soil, we should pay more attention to the water quality, otherwise the potted soil will become alkaline, leading to poor plant growth. ◆ Do not water when there is a big difference between water temperature, soil temperature and water temperature (or room temperature and water temperature). You can choose to do it at an appropriate time in the morning and evening, or you can adjust the water temperature (usually stored in the cylinder in advance). When cold water is poured under the scorching sun and high temperature, the plants will suffer from physiological drought immediately, and the leaves will wither soon. ◆ Pay attention to the amount of water People have summed up more than nine watering experiences in the practice of potted plants. 1 Herbs should be watered more, woody plants should be watered less, flowers that like tide should be watered more, flowers that like drought should be watered less, big and soft leaves should be watered more, leaves with wax should be watered less, flowers that grow vigorously should be watered less, dormant seedlings should be watered less, seedlings with large pots should be watered less, balconies should be watered more, courtyards should be watered less, and it will be hot for 7 days and cold for days. The so-called quantity is a comparison under the same conditions. In case of drought, dehydration and wilting of branches and leaves, you should first move to the shade, add less water to the basin, spray a small amount of water on the leaves, and then water them after the leaves stand upright. If you directly water a lot, you will hurt your roots and fall leaves. In case of rainy days, it is best to move the basin to the shelter under the porch. If the basin is flooded for a long time, the plants should be removed with soil, put in a cool and ventilated place, breathe quickly to release water, and then put into the basin after 3-5 days of recovery. If it suddenly clears up after a long rain, woody flowers should be kept in a cool and ventilated place for 1-2 days before they can see the sun again. If exposed rashly, the water absorption capacity of roots will become worse during this period. Although the basin soil is very wet at this time, the branches and leaves will still lose water and dry up (called waterlogging) or even die. If this phenomenon has occurred, you should immediately move the flowerpot to a cool and ventilated place, cut off some dead branches, and stop watering to make it recover slowly. ◆ Pay attention to the watering time. Watering time should be carried out during plant growth activities, but avoid exposure to the hot sun. Therefore, water should be watered after 9- 10 in winter and before 8 am and after 5 pm in summer. For plants in direct sunlight, water them in large quantities in the morning, otherwise they will wither in the afternoon. ◆ Master the principle of watering. Most of the problems of potted flowers come from improper watering. No matter what season you water any potted flowers and trees, you must master a principle: water them when they are dry, don't water them, and water them thoroughly when they are dry. It is safer and more reliable to keep the water in the soil less than the water is too much, that is, it is better to dry it than to wet it. In addition, we should also pay attention to: don't just wet the waist of the surface, the pot soil will be wet and dry. Over time, the roots of plants will wither due to lack of water, and potted flowers will not grow well.

Question 7: How to water succulents? This is a succulent plant. This plant should be watered as little as possible, but too much water is not good.

Basically once a week, but this is about. Water more when it is hot and less when it is cold.

Succulent plants don't need much water, so the rule of your watering is to water less, less times and less.

Basically, when the soil feels a little dry, water it a little at a time, and be careful not to accumulate water.

There are also differences among different succulents. You'd better say the name of the plant or send a picture to see if it is targeted.

Question 8: How should potted plants be watered? Watering potted plants is quite simple. Don't treat it as too complicated. Look, water the topsoil in the basin. You can water the topsoil when it is white or cracked, but you can't water it when you feel wet. If it is done thoroughly, plants will not rot and die easily because of too much watering, and too little watering will also * * *.

Question 9: When is the best time to water the flowers and plants? How many days do ordinary plants water? Generally speaking, morning is the best. Afternoon is fine, but it's best to choose evening or morning in summer. According to the wet and dry conditions of the soil and the water-loving conditions of plants, those who like water should be kept slightly wet and watered every 2-3 days, while those who like to dry should be kept slightly dry every 4-5 days. Different plants in different environments need to be explored by experience.

Question 10: Don't water the plants indiscriminately. Polite statement,,, 1 10 points According to the habits of plants, plants are found to like shade or tolerate drought on the Internet. According to the specific situation, some plants will rot if watered too often, which is not conducive to the breathing of plant roots.
