How often should I water the cotinus coggygria?

Generally, you can use rice water or rainwater to water the Cotinus coggygria. If you care for it in spring and autumn, you need to water it once a week. In summer, the temperature is high and the branches and leaves are easily sunburned, so you can add a little water every day to avoid sunburn. In addition, it grows slower in winter, so you generally don't need to water it, but if you are worried that the soil will become compacted, you can water it once every two months.

Watering method of Cotinus coggygria

1. Observe the potting soil: Generally, when watering the Cotinus coggygria, you should first check the dryness and wetness of the soil. If the soil is relatively moist, it generally does not need to be watered, because if you water it at this time, its roots will begin to rot due to too much water.

2. Watering during the peak growing season: Generally, Cotinus coggygria needs water when it is growing vigorously, which is usually in spring and autumn. However, it should not be watered too much. It is still necessary to strictly follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry and watering when the soil is wet to replenish water, so as not to affect the growth of Cotinus coggygria.

Watering precautions for Cotinus coggygria

1. Do not water too much: Cotinus coggygria generally cannot grow in places with stagnant water, so do not water too much at one time, otherwise it will cause water accumulation at the roots. It is best to water according to the principle of small amounts and multiple times.

2. Reduce the amount of watering in winter: In winter, you should reduce the number of watering appropriately, because the water evaporates very slowly in winter, so there is no need to water too much. In addition, the growth of Cotinus coggygria is slow in winter and it is not very short of water.

What to do if you overwater Cotinus coggygria

If there is water accumulation at the roots of the Cotinus coggygria, the first thing to do is to give it more light. If the water accumulation is not too much, it will resume growth soon. However, if there is too much water accumulation, simply supplementing light will not work. You also need to put some sand with good water absorption ability in it, let the water be absorbed by the sand and then remove the sand.
