How often should you water your plants?

There are many varieties of green plants, and the watering frequency of different plants is also different. For example, the green ivy can be watered every 3-4 days, the Clivia can be watered once every half a month, and the money tree can be watered once every 20 days. You can use river water, tap water, well water, or lake water for watering.

Green plant watering method

1. Water according to the temperature : In the summer when the temperature is high, in addition to replenishing water to the plants in time, you should also spray water on the leaves more often. In the winter when the temperature is low, you need to reduce the number of watering.

2. Watering according to the size of the plant : If it is a relatively large green plant, then it does not need to be watered once a month or two. Just spray water more often. If it is a relatively small green plant, then it needs to be watered frequently.

Notes on watering green plants

1. For some water-loving green plants, the potting soil needs to be kept moist at all times, but watering should not be too frequent, and water should not be allowed to accumulate in the soil.

2. When watering most green plants, you need to adhere to the principle of "wet when wet and dry when dry", and then water them when the soil becomes dry.

What to do if you overwater your plants

If you water the plants too much, you can first place them in a ventilated place and loosen the soil to speed up the evaporation of soil moisture. You can also sprinkle some absorbent substrates on the surface of the potting soil to absorb excess moisture in the soil.
