Watering plants is not about frequency, but about soaking through.

The thing plants hate most is when watering only wets the top layer of soil, or when the water pours out in a gush and floods them violently. Instead, you should water in a thin stream, little by little, until the entire pot of soil is soaked through, with water flowing out from the bottom of the pot.

Alas, but the plant-killer just cannot do it!

The four-season watering rules

- In spring, water at noon;

- In summer, water in the early morning and in the evening;

- In autumn, water less;

- In winter, depending on whether the pot is dry or moist, watering once every few days is suitable.

The editor's tip: the water for watering flowers can first be collected in a container and left to sit for a day before use.

Little tips for watering flowers

One - Watering flowers with leftover tea

Using leftover tea to water flowers can both maintain the moisture of the soil and add nutrients such as nitrogen to the plants.

The editor's tip: but note that watering flowers with leftover tea needs to be done regularly, not frequently.

Two - Watering flowers with spoiled milk

After milk spoils, add water and use it to water flowers; it benefits the growth of the flowers, but the proportion of water should be greater.

The editor's tip: unfermented milk is not suitable for watering flowers, as it will cause root rot.

Three - Watering flowers with cooled boiled water

Using cooled boiled water to water flowers can make the foliage lush and the flowers bright, and can promote earlier blooming. If used to water asparagus fern, it can make its branches and leaves grow horizontally, becoming short and dense.

Four - Watering flowers with warm water

In winter, when the weather is cold and the water is chilly, it is suitable to water flowers with warm water.

The editor's tip: with this method, it is best to place the water indoors and wait until it is close to room temperature before watering the flowers.

Five - Watering flowers with rice-rinsing water

Regularly using rice-rinsing water to water flowers such as Aglaia odorata can make their branches and leaves lush and their flowers brightly colored.

Hahaha, the editor likes to use this method, because it is easy to obtain and convenient! Tell me, whose home does not have rice-rinsing water?

I do not know whether the editor has explained it clearly and in detail. For gardening friends who did not understand it, the editor has specially written an acrostic poem for you. It may not be well written, but it can help you find the editor.

More wonderful articles are all in an acrostic poem:

A gentle breeze lightly brushes, flowers remain forever

Strolling at ease, wandering in spirit to the sunny south of Nanshan

Seeking wonders and searching for clever finds at Tongque Terrace

Planting red and growing green, rising above the blue clouds

- Come and take the challenge: in these four lines of an acrostic-and-hidden-tail poem, linking the first characters together + linking the last characters together yields an eight-character motto, summoning the editor's true self! When you come, remember to say: "Editor, your secret has been cracked by me!"
