How to water the lantern flowers, the watering method of the lantern flowers (see dry see wet / water thoroughly)

Water is the source of plant life, so watering is very important in the cultivation of lantern flowers. It is understood that the lantern flower likes a humid environment, but it is afraid of waterlogging, so it needs to be watered, but it cannot be watered much. This is the problem. So how to water the lantern flowers? What if the lantern flowers are watered too much? Let's take a look at the watering method of lantern flowers with the editor.

How to water the lantern flowers, time / amount of water

Watering is a technical task, especially watering lantern flowers, even if there is more or less. Less, the plant will grow poorly without water; if more, it will cause rotten roots, resulting in lantern flower leaves shedding, lantern flower leaves yellowing, lantern flower leaves curling and other symptoms. How do you water the lantern flowers? Next, the editor will tell you in detail from the two aspects of time and water.

Second, the watering method of lantern flowers

(1) the amount of water is different in four seasons.

1. In the Spring and Autumn period, water once a day

Lantern flowers like the humid environment, the most suitable growth temperature is 15-25 ℃, so spring and autumn is its peak growing season, at this time we should keep the soil moist, generally watering once a day, a small amount of water can be sprayed to the leaves when watering, so as to keep the air not too dry.

Note: watering the lantern flowers mainly depends on the potted soil. Watering once a day is only a rough idea. We should follow the principle of "seeing dry and wet, watering thoroughly", neither early nor more.

2. Reduce watering in summer

For ordinary people, growing flowers should be watered more in summer, because at this time the temperature is high and water evaporates quickly. However, lantern flowers avoid high temperature and enter a semi-dormant period when the temperature is higher than 30 ℃. Therefore, the lantern flowers can not be watered frequently in summer, but should be watered less.

Note: Lantern flowering in summer, if the soil is too wet, it will cause falling flowers and leaves.

3. In winter, a small amount of water

How do you water the lantern flowers? In winter, lantern flowers will enter a dormant period, and many flower friends think that watering should be stopped at this time. But in fact, this is not the case, because the whole winter can not be completely watered, so when the sun is sufficient and warm, a small amount of water can be poured into the soil to avoid hardening.

(2) what to do if the lantern flowers are watered too much, cut the roots / cuttings?

1. Cut the roots and replant them

For beginners, watering lantern flowers is prone to excessive watering, resulting in rotting roots. As for what to do if the lantern flowers are watered too much, first of all, naturally stop watering, then take off the lantern flowers, cut off the rotten roots, change the potted soil, and plant them again. However, there are also two situations in this regard:

① without white root: after removing the lantern flower from the pot, if it is found that its root system has blackened and rotted, and there is no new white root, then the lantern flower in this pot is hopeless and everyone can give up.

② has white roots: if there are new white roots, you can cut off the rotten roots, remove the surrounding soil, and then find a smaller pot, replant it with new soil, and pour a small amount of rooting water.

2. Cutting propagation of pruning branches

What if the lantern flowers are watered too much? In addition to cutting the roots and replanting, you can also choose branches and cuttings. If the root system does not have white roots, but we do not want to give up, then you can look at its branches, if there is still vitality, you can cut it. As for how to cuttage, there is a detailed introduction in the breeding methods of lantern flowers, so I won't say much here.

Generally speaking, watering is a technical task, especially watering lantern flowers, we must grasp the right time, so that it can grow healthily, and we can see a beautiful pot of lantern flowers. With regard to the watering method of lantern flowers, this is the end of the editor's introduction. The flower friends who keep it must water it according to the method.
