The weather is getting colder and colder. How should indoor flowers be watered?

If you don't do it, water it thoroughly. Water in the morning and evening in summer and at noon in winter. 1. Don't make a big difference between water temperature and air temperature. Rain, well water, river water and tap water will do. If there is a big difference between the water temperature and the air temperature, water can be stored in containers such as water tanks and buckets for a period of time. 2. Generally, herbaceous flowers need more water, while woody flowers need less water. Succulent plants such as cactus should not be wet. In winter, there is more water demand during flowering and germination, and less water demand during dormancy. During the cultivation period, the pot soil is neither dry nor wet. 3. To water azaleas and camellias native to mountainous areas, it is necessary to spray water on their leaves to let the water drop into the basin. 4. Long-term irrigation with tap water will make the soil alkaline and harden, which will seriously affect the flowering of flowers. Solution: (1) Store tap water in tanks, pots and tanks, and water it after several days of precipitation. (2) If orchids, azaleas, camellias, wheat orchids and white orchids are watered, a small amount of ferrous sulfate and bean cake decomposition water can be added to the water storage container, which can turn alkaline tap water into acidic water to meet the needs of potted acid-loving flowers in southern China. 5. Basis for judging water demand of potted flowers (1) Plants lose vitality and their leaves droop. (2) Warm soil is darker than dry soil. (3) The flowerpot is light, and the sound is crisp and loud when knocking. The heavy flowerpot and the dull knocking indicate that the flowerpot has enough water. 6. Essentials of watering flowers in four seasons (1) Spring: Flowers are most afraid of cold wind blowing in spring, the indoor temperature should be 10- 15℃, and potted flowers should be moved away from the glass window 1 m at night. Potted soil should not be too dry or too wet. Flowers in spring are most afraid of sudden changes in temperature, especially Milan, Jasmine and Clivia. Afraid of the cold, it is not advisable to move outdoors to bask in the sun or get wet. The soil in the basin should be dry. Prepare flowers and trees that are afraid of cold to go out of the house and let them adapt to the transition from indoor to outdoor environment. For flowers that bloom away from home, in order to extend the flower viewing period, it is necessary to prevent the sun and rain. (2) Summer: Generally, flowers should be placed in sunny places, filled with water, and no water can be accumulated in the basin. Camellia and azaleas should be placed in semi-cloudy and semi-sunny places with good ventilation. Leaf-watching plants should be shaded. The soil of crab claw orchid and begonia in slow growth period or semi-dormancy state should be biased. Flowering flowers should also be watered less to avoid falling buds. (3) Autumn: If you like shady or semi-shady flowers, you should gradually increase the lighting time as the weather turns cold. Flowers that have already bloomed should be watered in time. (4) Winter: Strengthen the anti-freezing and heat preservation care of potted plants that are afraid of cold, and move the flowers that are afraid of cold indoors. The soil in flowerpots where flowers are in full bloom or bud should be dry.
