How often should I water calamus?

The frequency of watering calamus generally varies according to the season, but the plant is very water-loving. As long as it is not the rainy season, you can water it every day as long as there is no accumulation of water. If you use tap water, you must dry it before use.

How to water calamus

1. Check the soil when watering : The leaves of calamus are short and dense. Generally, wait until the soil becomes dry, then water it along the edge of the pot. Do not use a watering bottle to water.

2. Water according to the weather : When the weather is fine, you need to water the plant once a day. Be sure to buy a flower pot with drainage holes at the bottom, otherwise the plant's roots will rot due to soaking.

Notes on watering calamus

1. The water used for calamus, whether it is weakly alkaline or soft water, must be uncontaminated, otherwise it will be detrimental to the growth of the plant.

2. During the maintenance process, it is best to avoid watering calamus at noon, especially in summer, otherwise it will affect the normal growth of calamus.

What to do if you overwater calamus

If you water calamus too much, it will cause root rot. At this time, you can raise the flowerpot to drain excess water, then trim the rotten roots, disinfect and dry them, and then replant them in the flowerpot.
