Because potted flowers have little soil and do not store much water, during the growing season they need frequent water replenishment to ensure normal growth. If the water supply is insufficient, the leaves and petioles will shrivel and droop, and the flowers will show wilting. If flowers are given insufficient water for a long time, the older leaves and the leaves on the lower part of the plant will gradually turn yellow and dry up. If most herbaceous flowers remain in a dry state for a long time, the plants will be short, the leaves will lose their fresh green luster, and even the whole plant will die. Some flower growers, fearing excessive watering, give "half-way water" every time they water, that is, the amount of water given only moistens the surface soil while the lower soil remains dry. This watering method likewise affects the development of the flower root system and also produces the above harmful phenomena. Therefore, watering should follow the principle of watering when dry and letting it be wet, and when watering, water thoroughly.
