How to water Aglaia odorata - water it this way and it will be more fragrant than others'

Its water requirements

First of all, we need to know one thing: this plant originates from the South China region of our country. So, generally speaking, this plant is suited to growing in a warm and humid climate, and it is rather afraid of drought. From this we can tell that the plant needs a fair amount of water, which places fairly high demands on our watering. Of course, the amount and frequency of watering also depend on the season, and uncontrolled watering can also cause root rot. Next we will go through them one by one.

What to do in specific periods

In spring and autumn, the plant generally grows quite fast, so at this time you can water about once a week. However, if the temperature rises, the frequency can be appropriately increased.

Water demand is highest in summer, because we all know the temperature rises quickly at this time. So at this time watering needs to be more frequent, and you can water once or twice every day.

You probably already know how to handle winter - this season has the lowest water demand of the whole year. At this time you do not need to water a fixed number of times; just wait until the potting soil has dried out completely before watering, and do not water if it is not dry.

Points to note

Besides needing to change our watering strategy as the seasons change, we also need to pay special attention to watering during the flowering period. Generally speaking, it is best not to water too much at this time. Otherwise, the plant may drop its flower buds.

We said above that watering is fairly frequent in summer, so at this time you must pay attention to the timing of watering. Noon is certainly not suitable; we can choose early morning or evening.

In addition, in summer, besides watering more, we can also spray water into the environment around the plant to replenish its water.
