For beginners growing flowers, watering is the number one priority

Anyone who grows flowers surely knows that watering is absolutely crucial for growing flowers. If you get the watering wrong, your plants may well suffer - either getting sick or having root rot, and in the end they can hardly escape disaster and just die.

Many flower-growing experts today must have been through this stage. There is a saying popular in flower-growing circles: "It takes three years to master watering," which shows that watering is extremely important for growing flowers.

So for ordinary flowers, how should you water them, and what time is best for watering?

Because there are so many kinds of flowers and plants, we need to water them differently depending on the flower. If we really must talk about watering, Huahua will only speak in general terms for everyone.

Generally, watering plants is divided into the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season has its own characteristics, so watering should also vary with the time of year. The temperature and air humidity in spring and autumn are generally quite similar, so many plants are watered the same way in spring and autumn. In late autumn it gradually turns colder, and many plants are about to enter their dormant period, so in the latter part of autumn you can gradually reduce the frequency of watering.

Summer and winter are two rather extreme seasons. Summer is hot with high temperatures, while winter is dry and cold, so these two seasons need special treatment. In summer, the temperature is generally higher and water evaporates faster. To ensure the water the plants need, you have to increase the frequency of watering. Judge how often to water based on the different plants.

In winter, many plants enter their dormant period, so at this time we should reduce the frequency and amount of watering. Winter is cold with not very sufficient sunlight, and water evaporates relatively slowly. If you water the plants too much, the water cannot evaporate in time and accumulates in the pot, and the plants may freeze to death because the temperature is too low. In winter you still need to take good insulation measures and reduce watering.

Having talked about the four seasons of the year, we should also talk about the 365 days of the year. Each plant has different habits, and this is also affected by factors such as the season and air humidity. Not all plants need watering every day. Only plants that like humid environments can accept being watered once every 1-2 days. Therefore, the vast majority of plants are generally watered 2-3 times a week, or perhaps less often. Some only need watering once a week, while others need watering once every half a month. All of this depends on the individual flower.

The importance of watering for plants has already been explained at the beginning. No matter what, Huahua still hopes that while you love flowers, you will also learn more and understand more about flower-growing knowledge. One day you will use it when growing flowers.
