How often should I water the colorful iron

Before watering the colorful iron plant, you need to observe the dryness and wetness of the soil. Spring is its growing season, and it should be watered once every two weeks. You can sprinkle water or water it directly into the soil. Generally, don't water if it is not dry, and water it thoroughly if you water. You can spray appropriate foliage water in the morning and evening to increase the air humidity. In winter, you can reduce sprinkling water appropriately. When watering, try to use well water, rain and snow water close to room temperature.

Colorful iron watering method

1. Watering principles : When watering the colorful iron, you must follow the principle of alternating dry and wet. The so-called alternating dry and wet means watering when the soil in the pot is almost dry but still retains a trace of moisture. Because the colorful iron likes moisture, it must be watered thoroughly when water is seen flowing out from the bottom of the pot.

2. How to water in dry weather : When the air is relatively dry, you need to spray water on the leaves from time to time to increase the humidity of the air. The temperature is relatively low in winter and water evaporates slowly. Try to reduce watering and keep the soil in the pot slightly moist.

Precautions for watering colorful iron

1. Do not water too much : The soil for planting the colorful iron plant should be kept moist, but not too much water. Especially in the rainy season, attention should be paid to drainage to prevent root rot caused by waterlogging. It is better to keep the indoor potted plants slightly dry in winter. If it is too humid, the leaves will easily rot and it will easily cause the colorful iron plant to die directly, so the amount of watering should be controlled.

2. Reduce the amount of watering in winter : In winter, the colorful iron will go dormant. Try to water it as little as possible at this time. You can spray it with water when you are free. Pay attention to the water temperature and do not exceed 30 degrees.

What to do if you water the colorful iron too much

When you find that you have watered the rainbow iron plant too much, what you need to do is pour out the water immediately, and then place the pot in a place with good air circulation so that the moisture in the soil will dissipate. Or you can raise the flowerpot and place it near the window, balcony, etc.
