How to water Kerria japonica? Master the correct watering method

1. Watering during the seedling stage

This plant is not very drought-tolerant, but during the seedling stage the potting soil should be kept slightly dry, and watering should also be done in small amounts. It is better to water a small amount several times than to water too much at once. Because during this period its root system has not yet fully developed and is very fragile, once damaged by waterlogging, it may very likely prevent the plant from growing normally.

2. Watering during the growing season

Plants need sufficient water during the growing season, and this plant is no exception. However, this does not mean it can be watered heavily. It is enough to keep the potting soil slightly moist, and be sure not to let water accumulate in the soil. The specific time is best chosen in the afternoon. If watering is not timely during this period, it can easily affect its normal growth.

3. Watering in summer

Water loss is greater in this season, so special attention should be paid to timely replenishment of water. However, this plant is neither drought-tolerant nor fond of moisture, so when watering, in addition to ensuring thorough watering, also pay attention to the drainage effect of the potting soil, and especially do not allow water to accumulate in the soil. Generally, watering once every 1 to 2 days or so is enough.

4. Watering in winter

Before the beginning of winter, water thoroughly once. Many people call this watering "anti-freezing water." After winter formally begins, water in small amounts and keep the potting soil 70% dry. When the surface of the potting soil is slightly dry, it can be watered.

PS: This plant is neither drought-tolerant nor tolerant of waterlogging, so it is recommended that friends be sure to choose soil with good drainage. If you are a beginner, it is also recommended to grow it in a flower pot with good air permeability. This way, timely remedies can be made if watering mistakes occur.
