Water your flowers this way, and the amount will be just right, no more and no less

Watering is truly a headache-inducing task. What exactly is the best way to water? Yatou has summed up the common watering methods for flowers, just follow them!

Better wet than dry

Watering this type of plant is much easier. As long as they are not left dry, the more water the better. Applicable plants: pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) and lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana).

They like humid environments. Most of the time they are grown hydroponically, but there are also cases of half-soil half-water culture. You do not need to worry too much about them drowning from excess water, you only need to worry about whether they will die of drought!

Better dry than wet

Applicable plants are cactus, black pine (Pinus thunbergii), and golden barrel cactus (Echinocactus grusonii). This type of plant fears moisture the most, is relatively drought-tolerant, and fears waterlogging. So during care, it is better to let them die of drought than to water too much. Each time you water, make sure the soil is completely dry. During watering, you can appropriately control the cycle, delaying watering a little each time.

Alternating dry and wet

Applicable plants: pothos (Epipremnum aureum), spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum), clivia (Clivia miniata), Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera), and peace lily (Spathiphyllum). This watering method means watering when the potting soil has just become dry, or when it is still slightly moist, and watering thoroughly in one go. However, this watering method has one drawback. That is, exactly when does the soil become dry and need watering!

Water when dry, let dry when wet

This watering method is relatively common! This method is suitable for plants that like moisture and fear drought, such as rhododendron, camellia, gardenia, Impatiens walleriana, Aglaia odorata, Michelia figo, and Catharanthus roseus.
