How often should you water your banyan tree?

Depending on the growth stage of the banyan tree, the temperature is lower in early spring, water evaporation and water demand are relatively small, so it should be watered once a day; in summer, the temperature rises and it is in the growth period, so it should be watered twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening; in autumn, the growth of the plant slows down, so it should be watered once every 1 to 2 days; in winter, it enters a dormant period, so it should be watered once every 3 to 5 days or about 10 days, and the temperature should be higher at noon.

The correct way to water banyan trees

1. When watering the banyan tree, you need to pour the water directly into the dry soil to keep the soil moist. You can also spray the water directly on its leaves or the surrounding environment to increase the air humidity near it.

2. When watering the banyan tree, you also need to choose a suitable water source. It is best to provide river water or lake water rich in minerals and plants. However, when such a water source is not available, you can also provide tap water for the plant. When using tap water, you need to let the water stand for a day to prevent the chlorine in the water from affecting its growth.

Overwatering of banyan tree

Excessive watering makes the roots unable to breathe smoothly, leading to root rot, which in turn causes the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. First, remove it from the pot, make sure the soil ball does not fall apart, trim its roots cleanly, pour out the old soil, disinfect the pot, replace it with clean soil, and then replant it in a bright and ventilated place.
