Keep getting potted plant watering wrong? The difference between morning and evening turns out to be this big

Watering potted plants is very important for flowers, and for us, it is also a very ordinary and simple task. However, if you keep watering incorrectly, potted flowers will not grow well easily. So what should we pay attention to when watering flowers?

Why can't you water at noon?

Whether outdoor plants or potted plants that can get sunlight, watering at noon is the biggest taboo, especially in summer. At noon the temperature is very high, the water absorption and transpiration of plants are very intense, and the soil temperature is also relatively high.

If you water at this time, the soil suddenly gets stimulated by cold water, the soil temperature drops rapidly, the water absorption capacity of the roots drops quickly, and water absorption cannot keep up with transpiration water loss, so the plant will wilt.

Moreover, at this time water remains on the leaves and flowers, and after strong direct sunlight, it may also create a magnifying glass effect and burn the flowers and leaves.

When is it better to water, in the morning or in the evening?

Watering potted plants has certain particularities. Now everyone knows you cannot water at noon, and generally people water in the morning and in the evening, but compared with evening watering, which is better?

The best time to water plants is in the morning. When watering in the morning before the sun comes out, by the time the sunlight appears, the plant is just starting transpiration, absorbing water from the roots upward to every part of the stems and leaves. After absorbing water, the plant becomes especially upright.

If you water in the evening, water droplets left on the leaves for a whole night are not easy to evaporate, and it is very easy to trigger the breeding of other pests and diseases. Especially in winter, it is even less suitable to water at night, because the temperature at night in winter is also lower. If you water at night, it is also easy to freeze and damage the plant.

What should you pay attention to when watering potted plants?

1. Rainwater and snow water are better for watering flowers, but we generally only have tap water to water flowers. Since tap water contains many chemical substances, you must let it sit for 2 days before use.

2. When watering, just wetting the surface is not enough. You must water thoroughly and see water flowing out from the bottom of the pot, but if there is water in the tray, pour it out in time and do not let water accumulate.

3. When the potted soil is a bit compacted, be sure to loosen the soil along the edge of the flowerpot, and then water.
