How to set the watering frequency for pothos and money tree? This method is sure to work
Pothos is an extremely easy plant to keep alive, but quite a few flower growers still report that the pothos they were growing died very quickly. What exactly is going on? In fact, the main reason is still improper watering by the growers. Taking this opportunity, here is an explanation of the watering frequency for pothos and money tree. This method is sure to work!
First, let's see whether the pothos needs water. Here is a method for everyone: take a chopstick, insert it into the soil, wait about 5 minutes, then pull the chopstick out. If the chopstick does not have too much soil stuck to it, that definitely means the pothos has started to run short of water. At this point it reminds us that we need to water it.
When watering pothos, you also need to look at the season. In spring, the pothos should be watered once every 3 days. In summer, the watering frequency should be increased, once every 2 days is enough. In autumn, it can be watered once every 4 days. In winter, once every 5 days is fine.
When watering pothos, note that you cannot water all the time, or water only after too long a time. You must water the pothos in time to prevent the leaves from turning yellow. Within a day, you also need to pay attention to the timing of watering pothos; the best time is of course in the morning or in the evening. And if you are not using hydroponic pothos, the pot soil for growing pothos has more requirements; the soil needs good drainage.
After understanding the watering situation of pothos, the editor also wants to explain to everyone how to water the money tree. Interested flower growers, keep reading.
Precautions for watering the money tree
The money tree is a plant with relatively strong adaptability. When you buy a new money tree, you need to pay special attention to the first watering; the first time it must be watered thoroughly. Later watering depends on the different seasons. In spring, generally once every half month; in summer, once a week; in autumn and winter, it can be watered once a month. If the temperature that day is especially high, the watering frequency can be increased accordingly. The water used for watering is also a key factor affecting the growth of the money tree. Using rainwater or river water is a good choice; it is best to use slightly acidic water. You can also use some nutrient-rich water for watering, but it cannot be used too much, otherwise resistance will appear.
Besides watering according to the season, the watering time of the day also needs to be set by us. Watering when the temperature is normal is the correct choice; never water at high noon.
