How to water household potted flowers? Master these principles and methods

In daily life, many people do not know how to water flowers. Let's talk about it below.

Flower watering principles

4. Watering with warm water:

In winter, when the weather is cold and the water is chilly, it is advisable to water flowers with warm water. It is best to place the water indoors and wait until it is close to room temperature before watering. If the water temperature can reach 35°C before watering, so much the better.

5. Watering with rice washing water:

Regularly watering flowers such as Aglaia odorata with rice washing water can make their branches and leaves lush and their flowers brightly colored.

6. Watering flowers when no one is home:

For people who love growing flowers, if they are away from home for ten days or half a month visiting relatives or out on errands, there is no one to water the flowers. At this time, you can fill a plastic bag with water, prick a small hole in the bottom of the bag with a needle, and place it in the flower pot with the small hole against the soil, and the water will slowly seep out and moisten the soil. The size of the hole needs to be controlled well to avoid the water seeping out too fast. Or place a container full of cool water next to the flower pot, find a wide cloth strip with good water absorbency, put one end into the water in the container, and bury the other end in the soil of the flower pot. In this way, the soil can stay moist for at least about half a month, and the flowers will not die of drying out.

Flower watering methods

1. Watering flowers with leftover tea:

Using leftover tea to water flowers can both maintain the moisture of the soil and add nutrients such as nitrogen to the plants. However, it should be done according to the humidity of the flower pot, watering regularly and in measured amounts, rather than pouring in leftover tea and watering whenever you like.

2. Watering flowers with spoiled milk:

After milk spoils, add water and use it to water flowers; it is beneficial to the growth of the flowers. But you should add more water to make it fairly diluted. Unfermented milk is not suitable for watering flowers, because during fermentation it produces a large amount of heat, which will burn the roots (cause root rot).

3. Watering flowers with cooled boiled water:

Watering flowers with cooled boiled water can make the flowers and trees lush and the blossoms colorful, and can promote earlier flowering. If used to water Asparagus setaceus, it can make its branches and leaves grow laterally, and become short and dense.
