How often should I water the Selaginella

Selaginella is relatively drought-resistant in all seasons. In spring and autumn, it can be watered once a week or half a month. Do not water it too much. In summer, it can be watered once every three days. In winter, try to reduce watering as much as possible and water it once every 30 days or so. When watering, you can use standing tap water, river water, or well water.

Watering method of Selaginella

1. Dig up the soil : If the surface soil is dry, you can dig up the soil inside. If it is still very dry, it means it is very short of water.

2. Observe the branches and leaves : Observe whether the leaves of the money tree are turning yellow. If it lacks water for a long time, its leaves will turn completely yellow.

3. Weigh the weight : You can lift the potted plant and if the pot becomes noticeably lighter, it means the roots are lacking water.

Precautions for watering Selaginella

1. Do not water too much : When the temperature is high, do not water too frequently. Pour less water into the pot, and use palm fiber to infiltrate water. In addition, you should also spray water on the base of the Selaginella to reduce insufficient water absorption by the roots due to rapid evaporation.

2. Reduce the amount of watering in winter : Water once every half a month in winter, and spray the leaves with clean water close to room temperature every 7-10 days to keep the plants evergreen and fresh and improve their ornamental value.

What to do if you water Selaginella too much

If the amount of water is too large, it is easy for the Selaginella to rot its roots, causing the leaves to droop, lose their luster, or even fall off. At this time, it should be moved to a cool place immediately and the amount of watering should be reduced to a minimum, as long as the soil in the pot is not dry.
