How Often to Water Pothos in Summer? Master the Correct Watering Frequency

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
Pothos needs to be watered once a day in summer, though this can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and it can also be watered once in the morning and once in the evening. Usually, observe the leaves and the dryness of the soil more often; if the leaves are shriveled and the soil is dry with cracks, water it promptly. During care, spray the leaves with water more often to maintain humidity. In addition, pay attention to shading and ensure good ventilation to prevent pests and diseases.

1. How Often to Water

Summer is hot with high temperatures, water evaporates relatively quickly, and summer is also the vigorous growth period for pothos, so it needs to be watered every day, or once in the morning and once in the evening depending on the situation, and water thoroughly each time. In addition, it is best to water in the morning or evening; the temperature at noon is relatively high, and watering at this time can easily affect the plant's root system.

2. Observe Whether It Is Time to Water

1. Leaves: If there are obvious wrinkles on the leaves, or they feel shriveled and dull when touched, that means the plant is lacking water and it is a sign that it is time to water.

2. Soil: The dryness and moisture of the soil can also be seen clearly with the naked eye. If the surface layer of the soil is obviously dry and has cracks, that indicates severe water shortage. But be sure not to overwater at this time, otherwise it will cause root rot; still water moderately and spray more water on the leaves.

3. Points to Note

1. Light: When growing pothos in summer, be sure to avoid direct strong light and place it in a shady spot.

2. Pests and diseases: Summer is stuffy, hot and humid, which easily breeds fungi and bacteria, so ventilate often, keep indoor air fresh, and avoid diseases.
