How to water the keel and how often to water it

Overview of keel watering

As a succulent plant, the dragon bone flower does not require much water, so too much watering can easily cause its roots to rot. During daily maintenance, you need to pay attention to check the potting soil to see if it is dry or wet. Water it when the potting soil is dry, but it cannot be dry for a long time.

How to determine whether to water: The roots of the dragon bone flower have a strong ability to store water, so there is no need to rush to water it when the soil is just dry. Wait until the surface of the soil turns white before watering it until it is thoroughly watered.

How often should you water? In spring, water once or twice a week. In summer, when the temperature is high and the water evaporates more, water once every 4-5 days. After autumn, watering should be gradually reduced to once a week.

Should you water thoroughly: For the healthy growth of the dragon bone, it is recommended to water it after the soil in the pot is completely dry. Do not water it unless it is dry, and water it thoroughly when you do.

The correct way to water the keel

The watering method of dragon bone flower can be adjusted according to each season. In dry and hot weather, watering is usually done every 4 or 5 days, or every 2 or 3 days.

What kind of water is best for watering: The dragon bone flower is not demanding on soil and water quality. It is a very easy-to-care-for flower and can be watered with tap water.

Watering should be appropriate: each time the dragon bone is watered, it should be watered thoroughly at once, and the water can flow out from the small holes at the bottom of the flowerpot, but be careful not to allow water to accumulate.

Watering method and skills: The newly repotted keel needs to be watered thoroughly once, and then placed in a cool and ventilated place for rest. After two weeks, it needs to be maintained normally. The newly planted one needs to be watered thoroughly at one time. Water it again according to the dryness and wetness of the soil.

Notes on keel watering

Cannot be left without water for a long time: Although the dragon bone flower is relatively drought-resistant, if it is not watered for a long time, it may cause it to lack water and cause the branches and leaves to turn yellow.

There should be no stagnant water: In addition to not watering too much, you should also pay attention to timely drainage and waterlogging prevention during the rainy season to avoid being exposed to wind and rain.
