It is more difficult to water flowers in autumn than in summer.

Summer is considered by most people to be the time when watering flowers and plants is the most common and most error-prone time.

In fact, it is the same in autumn. In general, the temperature drops in autumn, the wind is light and the clouds are light, and it is relatively dry, so it is said that it is "autumn dry". But autumn is also a rainy season, it rains continuously, cold and windy.

During this period of time, if it is not properly watered, it will not only affect the rapid growth in early autumn and winter, but also easily lead to rotten roots and water shortage.

Common watering errors in autumn

The most common autumn watering error is that watering is too regular and quantitative regardless of weather changes.

Under the condition that the temperature environment is constant, there is no problem with the timing and quantification of watering. In many areas, the temperature environment in autumn is changeable sooner or later, and the watering quantity is prone to problems, which is best determined with reference to the specific situation.

In rainy weather, the air humidity is high, you can water less, when less rain is dry, you should water in time.

To judge whether it needs watering, the simple way is to look at the basin soil. If the basin soil is white and hard, it is time to water it. If the drainage of the soil is good enough, the frequency is faster, the soil is sticky and heavy, and the surface layer is dry and there is no shortage of water inside the soil, it can be poured again.

Can flowers and plants be caught in the rain in autumn?

Rain Water is a very good water quality for growing flowers, but there are several points to pay attention to whether you can be caught in the rain or not.

In general, flowers that can be planted in the local area can be caught in the rain. The south flowers are raised in the north and the north flowers are raised in the south. Generally speaking, it is safest to be caught in the rain only in warm spring.

Fall in the rain, we should pay attention to excessive rainfall or sudden drop in temperature, shelter and ventilation, protect flowers and plants.

Importance of water quality and water temperature

Most friends who have raised flowers in summer know the importance of water temperature to watering. Because there is a big difference between the high temperature in summer and the water temperature, the high temperature and cold water can easily water the flowers to death. The same is true in autumn.

Autumn watering flowers, it is best in the day, the most suitable temperature for the growth of flowers and plants within the time of watering, the water temperature had better not be more than 5 degrees different from the air temperature.

When it comes to watering, we must talk about water quality.

The quality of water quality has a great influence on the growth of flowers and plants. The water in nature and the water source at home, some acidic, some alkaline, are not suitable for long-term watering flowers, neutral water is the best, most flowers like weak acid environment, weak acid water is also better.

Tips for improving water quality

Here is a simple method to distinguish the acidity and alkalinity of water quality: mash or squeeze the purple cabbage, drop the juice into the water, and the water turns red, indicating that the water is sour and blue, indicating that the water is alkaline.

The simplest and most commonly used way to improve water quality is cold boiled water. Alkaline water will solidify and precipitate after boiling. The water purifier has a similar function.

With regard to the boiling water in the kitchen, the water used to boil eggs and vegetables are all alkaline and contain certain trace elements, which is very suitable for watering flowers.

Adding vinegar to the water and exposure to the sun for two days can also improve the water quality.
