Watering method of leopard taro

Watering the leopard taro is mainly divided into growing period watering and winter watering. It should be irrigated with sufficient water during the growth period from March to October, keeping the air humidity above 75%, but should be drained in time in rainy weather to avoid rotting roots. Watering is gradually reduced in winter to keep the soil dry.

How to water the leopard taro

1. Watering during the growing period

The growth period of leopard taro is very long, and it grows most vigorously from March to October each year, during which it has a great demand for water, so it is necessary to irrigate it with sufficient water and keep the air humidity above 75%. Water thoroughly and spray water on the leaves when the summer is hot.

2. Winter watering

The growing season of leopard taro runs through the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, and it needs to be watered in another way in winter. When it enters the winter, the growth rate will gradually slow down, and when the temperature is too low, it will go into dormancy, so it is necessary to reduce the amount of water to keep the soil dry, and the water temperature should be close to room temperature so as not to stimulate the plant.

3. Points for attention

Although the leopard taro needs plenty of water during the growing period, it should not be overwatered, especially on rainy days, to drain the basin soil in time to avoid stagnant water leading to rotten roots. Watering is best carried out in the early morning or evening, and the plants have a strong respiration force at night, which can quickly consume water.
