Precautions for watering potted plants

Matters needing attention in watering potted plants. Nowadays, most families will raise some potted plants on the balcony in order to green the environment, and watering is a university for raising plants. Q, it is related to the life and death of plants, so what are the precautions for watering potted plants? Let me introduce it to you.

Precautions for potted plant watering 1 Potted plant watering depends on the situation, and the amount of watering should be mastered.

1, watering depends on big, small, deep and shallow pots: big pots are watered less, small pots are watered more, deep pots are watered less and shallow pots are watered more;

2, water depends on the texture of the basin: there is more water in the earthen basin, less water in the pottery basin, and less water in the porcelain basin; Look at the soil: less clay and more sand;

3, watering to see the tree species: broadleaf trees are watered more, conifers are watered less, those with good growth are watered more, those with weak growth are watered less, the pots are watered more, and the pots are watered less; Look at the location: water more in the sun and less in the shade; Water more when the terrain is windy, less when the terrain is low and windy, more when the wind blows dry, and less when the air humidity is high.

4, watering depends on time, water quality is very important.

Whether the bonsai should be watered or not can be tapped with your fingers. The sound should be watered and the sound should be low. And the water temperature should be consistent with the local temperature, too high will burn the roots, too low will frostbite the roots.

Under normal circumstances, the temperature difference between spring and autumn is small and the humidity is high, so water it whenever it is dry. High temperature evaporates quickly in summer, so water it in the morning and evening. In winter, plants are dormant and watered at noon.

Avoid using salty and greasy water. Ponds and pool water are mostly used for bonsai, and replaced fish water or stored tap water can be used for bonsai less. Water flows from the bottom of the basin to a certain extent, and then it is sprayed on the leaves after watering to wash away the dust, which is beneficial to photosynthesis. Generally, watering pots are used to water bonsai, and it is forbidden to water bonsai directly with tap water pipes, so as to avoid soil erosion and endanger plant life.

Specific methods and matters needing attention of watering potted plants

1, soft water is better, and natural rain is the favorite of plants. Followed by river water and pond water.

2, tap water should be dried for a day before use, because tap water contains more chemical components, such as chlorine, and plants are also very picky about food.

You can't water the flowers with water for washing dishes and clothes, otherwise the flowers will grow ugly. You can water the flowers with Taomi water.

4, pay attention to the water temperature, don't quench and heat, or the flowers will get sick. It is best to use water at room temperature. My temperature is the same as yours, which is good.

5, water volume: more in spring, suitable for watering at noon. Sufficient in summer, suitable for later watering. There is little water in autumn. There are fewer winters.

6. Some plants should be watered in the morning, such as apple trees, legumes, begonia, blackberries, cherry trees, cucumbers, dahlias, geraniums, vines, melons, peach trees, pear trees, peonies, plum trees, raspberries, roses, strawberries and tomatoes.

7. Some plants like humidity, so they should be placed in humid places and watered more, such as aster, Cynanchum multiflorum, ferns, foam flowers, equisetum, Hosta, Impatiens, Louisiana, Siberia and Japanese iris, horseshoe, mint, Polygonatum sibiricum, swamp hibiscus, umbrella and sedge.

8. Generally, plants with thick meat should be watered less and once, such as cactus series. Plants with thin leaves should be watered more, while plants with small leaves and more wax should be watered less.

9. Plants that grow vigorously should be watered more, while dormant plants should be watered less. Some plants should be dormant in winter, so water less.

10, and the watering methods include basin surface watering method, basin sitting method, towel moisture absorption method and drip irrigation method. Plants that can't be looked after in a short time should be sucked dry with towels or put small flowerpots in big boxes filled with wet sand. You can extend the time without watering.

1 1. Most of the problems in potted plants are due to improper watering. No matter what season you water any potted plant, you must master two principles, namely, "high quality, timely and appropriate amount" and "water it thoroughly if you don't do it", that is, water it every time until the water oozes from the plate under the basin.

This paper introduces the matters needing attention in watering potted plants. I hope everyone must pay attention to the above in the process of watering plants to keep healthy.

Precautions for watering potted plants II. Watering methods of different plants

1. Water the soil as soon as it is dry.

Usually some plants that especially like water need this, that is, potted plants that can't completely dry the soil. When the soil under the basin is 2~3 cm dry, they need to be watered immediately to keep the basin soil moist and not to let the soil be too dry.

2, the soil is dry and thoroughly poured

This is the maintenance method of most plants. When the soil 3 ~ 5cm below the basin soil is dry, water it again until water drops emerge from the drainage holes at the bottom of the basin.

3. Keep the soil slightly dry

Some plants that are particularly drought-tolerant usually don't need watering. As long as they are supplemented occasionally, these plants can't be watered often to keep the soil slightly dry.

Second, how do you know whether plants are short of water?

1, weighing

After watering the potted plants every time, weigh them by hand, and then weigh them by hand when the soil is dry. If there is any obvious change, it is true.

Step 2 check the soil

This is the simplest, as long as you insert your finger into the soil for about 3 cm, you will basically know whether the plant is short of water.

Third, automatic watering.

1, short-term automatic watering

If your plants like water very much, but want to leave home for a few days, you can directly draw water with cotton thread, put the water container on a high place, and connect the potted plants with the water container with cotton rope.

2. You can fill a bottle with water, and then buckle it upside down in the basin soil, but pay attention to pre-selection and water the basin soil.

Fourth, pay attention to water quality when watering.

We drink soft water every day. After boiling, the hardness of water will become lower, which can be used to water flowers, as well as rainwater, river water and well water.

If the flowers are watered with tap water for a long time, it is easy to make the potted soil alkaline, and it is easy to harden the plant leaves and soil, which is not conducive to plant growth.

Tap water can be put in a container for 2~3 days before watering the flowers, which can remove fluorine and chlorine compounds in the soil.

Fifth, pay attention to the timing of watering.

In addition to common techniques such as drying and pouring, watering depends on the timing. For example, when plants are dormant, they cannot be watered. They give a little water at most to keep the plants alive.

When the temperature is too high in summer, many succulents and some plants that don't like high temperature will go into dormancy. At this time, they all stopped growing and there was no demand for water. If you keep watering, plants will rot easily.

When the weather is cold or the plants are dormant, stop watering. If the ventilation is not particularly good, it is not recommended to water at night unless it is very hot in summer.

Precautions for watering potted plants 3. First, the principle of "seven more" and "seven less" for watering flowers.

1. Water more herbs and less woody plants.

Herbaceous flowers have shallow roots, poor water absorption capacity, large water demand in the body and rapid evaporation on the leaves, so they should be watered frequently. Woody flowers have deep roots, wide distribution, strong water absorption and less watering.

2. Water the flowers more and less.

Wet flowers such as bamboo and reincarnation flowers should be watered more; Dried flowers such as cactus, Yu Lian and Nandina domestica should be watered less.

Water more when the leaves are big and soft, and less when they are waxy.

The bigger the leaves, the softer the texture, the easier it is for water to evaporate, so water them more. Ye Xiaoyou has wax flowers, and the water on the leaves evaporates slowly, so you can water them properly.

4. Water the sandy soil more and the clay less.

The sand is loose and the water retention is poor, so it should be watered more appropriately; Clay soil is dense, with good water retention and poor air permeability, so it is not appropriate to water it too often.

Drink more water in hot days and less water in cold days.

In hot summer, the evaporation of water on the leaves is large, and the soil in the basin dries quickly, so it is necessary to water it promptly and thoroughly.

6. Water more when the weather is dry, but less when it is cloudy.

When the weather is dry, the soil loses water easily, so water it frequently. Water the small basin twice a day, and water the large basin 1 time a day.

7. Water more in the vigorous period and less in the dormant period.

Flowers need a lot of nutrients and water in the vigorous growth period, so it is necessary to combine fertilization with frequent watering. When flowers are dormant, their growth tends to stagnate, and the water demand is very small, so watering should be strictly controlled.

Second, the "five taboos" of potted plants watering

1. Don't water the flowers with oil or soap powder.

These substances will destroy the soil, change the pH of the basin soil, and even cause the death of flowers and plants. Comparatively speaking, the old water replaced by rice washing water or fish tanks has certain fertility, which is much better than tap water, and these waters can be used completely.

2. Avoid watering at noon in midsummer

At this time, due to the relatively high temperature, the pores of the roots of plants are opened and suddenly watered, which is easy to make flowers and plants "catch a cold".

Don't water the flowers with hairy leaves with watering can.

Leaf surface is not easy to evaporate and rot after spraying water, so we'd better take watering measures instead of watering with watering can.

If the flowers are in full bloom, it is not advisable to spray more water.

Otherwise the petals will rot. If flowers and plants are expected to bear seeds, watering at flowering stage will also affect the fertilization of plants, thus reducing the seed setting rate.

5. Don't pour "half water"

"Half-waist water" means that only water can wet the topsoil, while the subsoil is dry. In the long run, a hard hardened layer will be formed at the junction of dry and wet soil, making it difficult for the roots of plants to be firmly tied. Therefore, when watering, we must master the principle of "watering thoroughly". At the same time, it is necessary to develop a good habit of loosening the soil with watering: loosening the soil should be carried out after watering, and when the basin soil is half dry, the depth should be based on the roots. There is no harm in cutting off some superficial roots, but it is beneficial to the birth of new roots.

I suggest that some common nutritious water, such as rice washing water and vegetable washing water, are beneficial to flowers and plants, but too much watering may have negative effects! Therefore, watering flowers and plants must follow the above principles.
