How to water the new jade ornamental

1. Usual watering method

The new jade ornament is not a plant that likes fertilizer and water. Too much water will affect its growth, causing it to grow too fast or too slow.

Generally speaking, new jade ornaments prefer an environmental humidity of around 50 percent. While ensuring humidity, you also need to ensure that the soil is not short of water. If you see that the soil in the pot is starting to dry out, you should add some water, but not too much. Generally, the pot needs to be watered thoroughly once every month or so.

How to judge whether it is watered thoroughly is mainly to see whether water starts to drip from the bottom hole of the flowerpot. If it drips, it means that it has been watered thoroughly. When watering, be careful not to water the leaves, as this can easily cause leaf rot due to water accumulation for too long. In addition, water accumulation is not allowed at the bottom of the pot to prevent root rot.

2. Summer watering matters

The temperature is relatively high in summer, so the water evaporates faster. Relatively speaking, the soil in the pot will also dry faster.

At this time, the frequency of watering should be increased. First, to lower the temperature and keep it cool. Second, to ensure that the surrounding air is not too dry and maintain a corresponding humidity so that it can grow better.

But it should be noted that you should not water the new jade plant when the sun is at its strongest in summer. This will accelerate the evaporation of water in the soil and the plant, which will have the opposite effect and affect its normal growth and development.

3. Watering in winter and dormancy

The growth of new jade plants will slow down in winter and dormancy, and their metabolism will not be too fast, so the water requirement will not be too high in this season, so do not water them too much.

During this season, you should try to keep the pot relatively dry, but not too dry. Water it frequently but not too much. Just keep it slightly moist.

If you water too much, water will easily accumulate, which will cause the roots to not absorb enough water and cause it to accumulate, easily causing the roots to rot. In severe cases, it may harm the normal development of the new jade plant, causing growth stagnation and death.
