It is said that bonsai watering takes three years and three minutes to teach you the correct way to water flowers.

Water, fertilizer, light and soil are the four elements for the growth of flowers and plants. If the flowers are well cultivated, it means that these four elements are well handled. Flower friends are popular with a word: will raise flowers, flower perianth dry death; will not raise flowers, flower perianth irrigation death. Potted flowers need watering, according to the pot soil dry and wet, can not mechanically determine a fixed interval of watering. The following flowers and plants to share with you how to water flowers correctly.

First, water flowers to pay attention to what, teach you the correct way to water flowers

Watering should follow the principle of "no watering, no watering, no watering". Too dry flowers and plants will wilt or even die, frequent watering pot soil too wet will make flowers and plants suffocate rotten roots and die.

"Do not dry, do not water, water will be thoroughly" is mainly applicable to semi-drought-resistant flowers. The so-called "do not dry do not water", that is, wait until the surface of the pot soil is completely dry and then water, the purpose is to make there is an interval between two watering, so that there is sufficient oxygen in the soil for the roots to absorb, rather than waiting until the soil is completely dry before watering. Drought-tolerant flowers watering should master the principle of "rather dry than wet"; wet flowers watering should master the principle of "rather wet than dry".

"See dry" means that after pouring water once, wait until the soil surface is white and the surface soil is dry, and then pour water for the second time. Never wait until the pot soil is completely dry before watering.

"See wet" means that every time you water, you should pour it thoroughly, that is, pour it until there is water seeping out of the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin. Can not pour "half water"(that is, dry soil wet), because a pot of vigorous growth of flowers, most of its roots concentrated in the bottom of the pot, pouring "half water" is actually equal to no watering.

2. How to identify whether the basin soil is dry or wet

There are two traditional ways to identify whether the pot soil is dry or wet:

One is watching. The basin soil is white and cracks appear on the edge of the basin soil, which is the sign of dry basin soil; the basin soil is dark brown and has no cracks, which is the performance of wet soil.

The second is to play. With fingers, tapping basin wall, listen to the sound crisp for the soil has been dry, muddy sound is still wet soil. Can also be based on the feeling, when playing empty shell feeling that the basin soil has been dry, solid feeling is the basin soil is still wet.

These methods need to accumulate experience in practice in order to correctly judge and water properly. Or more through the observation of plant leaf color and leaf state, according to the soft and hard pot soil, stick a stick pot weight and other methods.
