Can warm water be used to water flowers? Yes, but you have to choose the right time.

Everyone wants to keep warm. Even those friends who love flowers, when winter comes, see the temperature plummeting and think that they can't let their beloved flowers and plants freeze, so they use warm water to water the flowers! Huahua has to say, thank you all for your hard work and for thinking so carefully, haha.

However, some friends think that it is best not to use warm water when growing flowers, as the temperature may be too high and the plants cannot bear it. But some people think that the temperature in winter is already relatively low, so if you water the plants with cold water, wouldn’t it be even colder? I’m afraid that it won’t be long before the plants become “dead”?

So today, let Huahua tell you, what kind of water is better to choose when watering plants in winter? Let’s first answer the controversial issue of warm water. In fact, warm water can be used to water flowers, but you also have to choose the right time.

For example, in the morning and evening, the temperature is relatively cold, and the soil temperature of the plants is also relatively low. If you water them with warm water at this time, the temperature difference will be too large, and the plants will not be able to bear it, causing symptoms. The best time to water the flowers with warm water is at noon, when the temperature is slightly higher. The temperature of the warm water should be about the same as the noon temperature.

When watering flowers in the morning and evening, it is best to use cold water, which is the tap water we get. It's okay now, but when it gets colder in winter, the water temperature may become colder. Let the cold water sit for a while before watering the flowers, and it won't be too late to let it reach room temperature before watering.

In addition, winter is still a season when many plants will die quietly. This is because many plants will enter a dormant season in winter. If we do not take proper care of them, the plants may die quietly. So Huahua wants to remind everyone not to fertilize plants in winter, and watering should be delayed as much as possible according to the temperature.

Fertilizing plants during their dormant period may cause them to grow too tall, which will affect their ability to grow leaves and bloom in the spring. Similarly, if you water too much, the water will not be absorbed in time and can only accumulate in the flowerpot, which can easily cause root rot. If root rot occurs in winter, the plant will basically die.

Although the plants have entered a dormant period, we should not take it lightly. Plants in winter must be well cared for so that they can survive the winter safely. Does everyone know this?
