Growing flowers in autumn, is watering in the "early morning" good? An old flower farmer teaches you the safest way to water

As the saying goes: growing flowers is three parts fertilizer, seven parts water. When growing flowers day to day, watering is a very important step. Only with reasonable and proper watering can plants grow healthily. If a plant is in a drought state or a waterlogged state for a long time, it is not good for its growth, so watering flowers involves a lot of knowledge.

Previously, many flower lovers left messages in the background asking Shitou how to water flowers. Many people asked what time period is most suitable for watering flowers. In fact, there is also particularity to the timing of watering flowers. Generally it is in the morning or afternoon, and you should not choose the high-temperature noon.

Is watering in the morning good?

Actually, advising everyone to water in the morning also has certain reasons and conditions. First, choosing to water in the morning is mainly to avoid the high-temperature weather at noon, because flower lovers all know that after the ambient temperature gets too high, the soil temperature rises accordingly. If you water under higher temperature conditions, it is very easy to form a greenhouse effect inside the flowerpot and suffocate the flower roots, so you should water flowers in the morning or afternoon when the temperature is suitable.

But when watering flowers in autumn, the temperature also cannot be too low. Generally, from 8 to 10 in the morning and from 4 to 6 in the afternoon each day, the ambient temperature is around 20 degrees, which is just the suitable temperature for plant growth, and watering flowers at this time is most reasonable. So when watering flowers in the morning, try not to water before 8 o'clock, because before 8 o'clock the temperature is too low, the activity of the plant roots is not high, and the ability to absorb water is not strong either. Likewise, do not water after 6 in the afternoon.

Avoid watering at noon

In autumn, the ambient temperature at noon is still relatively high, and in some places it can reach around 30°C. Such a temperature is not suitable for watering flowers, especially for pouring water directly into the flowerpot. Because after water enters the soil, the water temperature will also gradually rise, and the environment created for the flower roots is like a sauna. You can imagine that even people find this environment hot, let alone plants. So in all four seasons of the year, except in winter when you can water flowers at noon, in the other seasons you need to water in the morning or afternoon, which is most suitable and safest.

Notes on watering flowers in autumn

1. Time: as mentioned above, when watering flowers in autumn, it is best to choose 8 to 10 in the early morning and 4 to 6 in the afternoon each day, which is most suitable. In this way, the plant roots have higher activity and a strong ability to absorb water, and root rot will not occur.

2. Watering amount: when watering flowers in autumn, along the edge of the flowerpot, slowly pour water into the flowerpot, let the soil fully absorb the water, and stop watering once water flows out from the bottom of the flowerpot, which shows that the water has been thoroughly watered.

3. Watering method: for watering flowers, mainly choose the two methods of spray watering and root watering. For plants like pothos, spider plant, and kalanchoe, you can directly pour water at the roots. For drought-tolerant plants like cactus and snake plant, you can choose to use a spray bottle to directly spray water on the surface of the plant.
