How to water cyclamen

For cyclamen how to water, we should first understand some basic knowledge, cyclamen nutrition absorption and transport, water transpiration and photosynthesis and the relationship between sink and source all rely on water to operate, in general, water accounts for more than 80% of plant weight. Due to the limitation of pot root microenvironment, water content has become the main factor of cultivation, so watering quantity and frequency are very important.

How to water cyclamen? look at the soil and the environment.

1. Look at the soil: the amount of water poured by cyclamen is directly related to the permeability of the cultivation substrate. The cyclamen cells in the matrix with strong water retention have large water content, so their growth will show excessive growth and weakness, and severe waterlogging will cause hypoxia, that is, inhibition of plant growth will also hinder root growth, forming reverse osmosis, leaves droop under water stress, transpiration weakens root growth and stops growing, and root system dies gradually.

2. Look at the environment: the amount of water pouring is directly related to the environment. When the ventilation is bad and the temperature is low, the transpiration is small, and the holding time of substrate humidity will be prolonged. It is necessary to control pouring or not to water. On the contrary, when the air drying temperature is high and transpiration is high, it is necessary to increase the amount of water and frequency. In particular, if there is indoor heating in winter, do not put it near the heating. Generally, when the temperature is high during the day, the plant wilts slightly when the surface of the matrix is not dry, and if it is restored to its original state at night, do not water it. On the contrary, it is necessary to water it. Remember that the water is as wilting as it is.

Ps: cyclamen is easy to rot because of too much watering. The above two points are actually the core experience. Flower friends just remember that cyclamen would rather be dry rather than waterlogged, the basin soil does not hold water, and the weather is good, it can be watered more frequently, otherwise less watering.
