9. The benefits of watering flowers with warm water

In general, the optimum temperature for the growth of flowers and plants is 20-25 ℃. For example, watering with warm water of 20-25 ℃ can accelerate the decomposition of organic matter in soil, promote the absorption of root cells, enhance the transport capacity of roots, supply sufficient nutrients to branches and leaves, and promote early germination, early budding and early flowering of flowers. This is because the average temperature of the leaf and stem of the plant is generally higher than that of the root. Watering with warm water can accelerate the decomposition process of organic fertilizer and supply sufficient nutrients to leaves and stems in time. If the cold water is poured, the root temperature is low and the nutrients decompose slowly, it will produce the phenomenon that the supply of nutrients exceeds the demand and affect the growth and development of flowers. In winter, most flowers are dormant or semi-dormant, and the root activity is greatly reduced. if the flowers are watered with cold water, it may cause damage to some flowers, but if the water temperature is too high, the roots will also be scalded, causing local damage, or even the death of the whole plant. Therefore, it is safer to water the flowers with warm water.
