Why shouldn't you water flowers with cold water at noon in summer? Many flower lovers don't know

Those of us who love growing flowers all know the saying, "three parts fertilizer, seven parts water" for flowers, so whether you can grow potted flowers well depends entirely on whether you know how to water them! Quite a few flower lovers have told me that they keep watering their potted plants to death. Watering too often easily drowns them, while watering too little easily causes dry, yellow leaves. It really is puzzling. In fact, besides these two points, there are many little subtleties to watering flowers! For example, the topic I'm discussing with you today: can you actually use cold water to water flowers in summer?

Let me tell you straight up: in summer, especially around noon, you absolutely must not water flowers with cold water!The specific reasons are as follows:

Summer temperatures are very high, and when the sun blazes at noon, the leaf surface temperature of potted flowers is naturally very high too. At this time the plant's transpiration is very strong. From biology class back in our school days, we all know that strong transpiration means water evaporates quickly. The root system of a potted plant naturally has to keep absorbing water to make up for the loss from leaf transpiration.

If you water flowers with cold water at this time, even though there is more water in the soil of the pot, it will cause the soil, which was originally very warm, to cool down very quickly all at once. The plant's roots, especially the root hairs, stimulated by the low temperature, will naturally protect themselves and block the normal absorption of the low-temperature water. The result is that the plant's leaf stomata have not closed, transpiration continues, yet the water cannot keep up! Very soon the leaves will start to wilt. Over time, even within a single noontime, the leaves can dry up and even cause the potted flower to die.

Some flower lovers may wonder: what temperature of water is suitable for watering flowers then?

Generally speaking, the suitable growth temperature for most plants is around 20-25°C. If the water temperature is kept within this range when watering, it will be more favorable for the plant roots to absorb it, as well as for the decomposition of organic fertilizer in the soil, thereby enhancing the roots' transport capacity and supplying sufficient nutrients to the leaves and stems of the potted plant. The key is that watering just right also makes it easier for plants and flowers to sprout early, form buds early and bloom early.

Finally, let me add: in summer, it is recommended to water plants in the morning or in the evening~
