The Complete Guide to Watering Potted Plants: Most Flowers Are Killed by Overwatering

Growing flowers is three parts fertilizer and seven parts water; only by watering well can potted flowers thrive. Usually, flower lovers must pay attention to watering and to applying organic fertilizer, so that the flowers can bloom more beautifully.

How to Water Potted Plants

1. Snake Plant

The snake plant stays evergreen all year round and goes dormant in winter. Pay attention to watering normally, keep the soil dry, water once a week, and keep the soil moist, so the plant can grow more vigorously.

2. Gardenia

The gardenia's temperature is 18-22 degrees, and in winter the temperature is 5-10 degrees. The gardenia likes a humid environment, but it should not be too wet, to avoid root rot and withered leaves. When the leaves turn yellow and fall off, besides watering the flowers normally, spray the ground with clean water to appropriately increase air humidity, so the gardenia can grow even better.

3. Narcissus

Narcissus likes light and water, and can be watered twice a week, with some organic fertilizer added. Water at around 10 in the morning, keep a warm and humid environment, and add fertile sandy loam, and the flowers will bloom beautifully.

4. Phalaenopsis

By the end of the year, it is a good time to choose phalaenopsis. When caring for phalaenopsis, flower lovers need to note that it should be watered once a week, and if watered in spring and summer, the phalaenopsis will not have yellow leaves and can bloom beautifully!

Flower lovers now have some understanding of how to water, right? Master the methods in daily care, pay attention to maintaining light and moisture, keep the temperature above 5-10 degrees, and water at 10 in the morning, so the flowers can grow well.
