Morning is the best time to water flowers, and it took me years of growing plants to finally understand that

Friends who grow flowers regularly surely know how much daily care matters to plants. No matter where you heard about some method, its effect is only temporary. Only by developing good daily plant-care habits can we keep the plants we grow healthy and strong.

Good plant-care habits always come down to details, and when you boil it down, there are really only a few of these details. The most crucial ones are watering and fertilizing. Why are these two so crucial? Because whether you are watering or fertilizing, both affect the plant's roots. As soon as the roots have a problem, the plant is not far from dying!

There is a saying in the plant-growing circle: seven parts water, three parts fertilizer. There is also a saying: it takes three years of practice to master watering. That is enough to show that watering is actually quite particular, and it is understandable that beginners often run into problems. Today Huahua wants to talk with you about the best time to water flowers.

Some friends water their flowers completely at whim, watering whenever they feel like it. In fact, when to water is also a matter of knowledge. We often read in online or book knowledge that it is best to water flowers in the morning and in the evening. So why exactly is that?

This is because in the morning the temperature is not yet especially hot. If you wait until the sun has risen and the air temperature rises while the water temperature is still very low, this creates a fairly big temperature difference between the environment and the water, which harms the plant and is not good for its growth.

Of course, the same reasoning applies in the evening. It is just that the evening temperature is a bit lower than in the morning, so when watering in the evening it is best to choose a time before 6 o'clock, to prevent the ambient temperature from becoming too cool and the soil from absorbing water poorly. This practice is mainly suitable when summer temperatures are relatively high; in summer the daytime temperature is too high, so it is not suitable for watering.

In seasons when the temperature is less extreme, like autumn and spring, most plants can be watered before 10 a.m. This time period is not as hot as noon, nor as slightly cold as early morning, which makes it the best time slot for watering. Besides this time slot, four or five in the afternoon is also a fairly suitable time slot for watering. At this time the sun is about to set, the temperature will not be so high, and it is suitable for watering.

What Huahua needs to tell everyone is that generally speaking, after six in the evening it is no longer suitable to water flowers. At night the temperature is relatively low, and not only do plants absorb poorly, evaporation is also relatively slow, which easily causes root rot, and that is more loss than gain.

Besides watering flowers with ordinary water, we can also use some water that contains relatively more nutrients, such as rice-washing water, soybean water and so on. The only thing is that these waters must be fermented before they can be used to water plants.

Watering is quite important for growing flowers. Good watering can help plants grow better and plays a icing-on-the-cake role in the process of plant growth. On the contrary, poor watering can bring catastrophic disaster to plants. I hope everyone waters well and waters with care, so that plants can grow well!
