I can't remember exactly when I started growing flowers. Anyway, at first it was just for fun, to pass the spare time and add a little decoration to my home. But for some reason, the flowers at home left me one pot after another, which made me very sad! As people's living standards rise, more and more people have taken up flower growing. But many people want to buy flowers to grow at home, yet are afraid of killing them. After killing quite a few, they gradually become hesitant about buying flowers. Today the editor will teach everyone exactly how to water! Friends who love growing flowers, take out three minutes, and you can learn the correct watering method for growing flowers! Going from a plant killer to a gardening expert is actually very simple!

First, you need to learn to judge whether the potting soil is dry or moist:

The first is to look. If the potting soil turns pale and cracks appear at the edges of the soil, that is a sign the potting soil is dry; if the potting soil is dark brown with no cracks, that shows the soil is moist.

The second is to tap. Flick or tap the side of the pot with your finger. If the sound is crisp, the soil is already dry; if the sound is dull, the soil is still moist. You can also go by feel: if there is a hollow, empty sound when you tap, it means the potting soil is dry; if it feels solid, the potting soil is still moist.

Once you have learned the method for judging dry and moist, let's talk about how to water:

1 Water thoroughly when dry

If the potting soil is not excessively dry, it does not affect the growth of the flowers. However, if it is a scorching summer day and the pot is on a balcony, not watering thoroughly can cause the surface layer of the potting soil to be low in temperature while the bottom layer is high in temperature, which very easily causes root rot. Therefore, you must water thoroughly, so that the potting soil cools down sufficiently and the roots are protected.

2 Do not water too frequently

Watering thoroughly does not mean watering frequently. Many people are overly indulgent with the flowers they grow, afraid they won't grow well, afraid they'll die of dryness! So they keep watering. Watering too frequently makes the water content of the potting soil too high, causing a lack of oxygen in the soil and leading to root rot that is hard to save. Beginners especially should pay more attention to this point.

3 Do not water only half the pot or only halfway down

The pot should be placed level, and water should be poured evenly along the edge of the pot; you must not water only half the pot. If the pot is not level, water naturally runs to one side, and over time the soil is dry on one side and moist on the other, which directly affects the normal growth of the potted plant. The so-called "halfway water" means the amount of water is too little, so the water cannot seep down to the bottom of the pot, leaving the upper half moist and the lower half dry. The roots of the flowers cannot absorb water, and over time this will also cause the flowers to die.

Watering is the key to growing flowers. Watering flowers is like feeding people: you need to figure out the habits of the flowers and water them regularly. After reading the tips above, you should have learned how to take good care of your flowers, right?
