3 watering methods that may damage plant growth

Do you know how to water plants? Watering is a key part of the flower-growing process. Watering is not difficult, but you should understand how to water plants correctly, improve your watering efficiency, and make plant care easier.

1.Insufficient or excessive watering

Excessive watering will cause the soil to be in a state of waterlogging for a long time, resulting in poor soil permeability, inability of the root system to breathe normally, and then lack of oxygen and rot. The correct way to water is to wait until the soil surface is dry before watering, and each time you water, you should water thoroughly and let the water flow out from the bottom of the pot. At the same time, the amount of watering should be adjusted according to seasonal changes. For example, in summer, when the temperature is high and the water evaporates quickly, the number of watering can be appropriately increased; In winter, when the temperature is low and the flowers grow slowly, watering should be reduced.

2.Watering cannot reach the bottom of the soil

Frequent and small amounts of watering may result in incomplete watering, which only wets the surface of the soil. When the soil surface is dry, the plant will dry quickly, thereby promoting the shallow root growth of the plant. The correct approach is to water slowly and in multiple times to ensure that the water can penetrate the soil of the entire flower pot until there is excess water flowing out from the bottom of the pot, so as to ensure that the roots of the plants can drink enough water and thrive.

3.Watering to moisten the leaves

Plants rely on their roots to absorb water. If water is poured directly on the leaves, not only will the efficiency of the leaves absorbing water be much lower than that of the roots, but this approach may also increase the risk of plant diseases, because the wet leaf surface is more likely to become a breeding ground for pathogens and microorganisms. So when watering, make sure to water the roots of the plants and avoid wetting the leaves.

Insufficient or excessive watering, watering cannot reach the bottom of the soil, and watering the leaves wet, these three wrong watering methods may cause serious damage to the growth of plants. We must recognize the importance of watering methods and ensure that the correct watering methods are used to maintain the healthy growth of plants.
