How to water pine red plum in winter

1. The amount of watering in winter

When winter comes, the temperature begins to drop slowly, and the growth of plants also begins to weaken. Watering also needs to be properly controlled. Do not water when the temperature is not dry. However, the air in winter is relatively dry, especially the dry air brought by the northwest wind, which will take away the moisture in the plants and soil, so you must pay attention to whether the plants and soil are lacking water. Just keep the soil moist. Do not water it too much, otherwise it will easily affect its roots.

2. Can I still water if there is snow?

The answer is yes. Even in winter, if there is a thick layer of snow in the pot, you have to wait until the snow begins to melt into water before the plants start to absorb it. It is useless to pile up snow, as the plants will die of lack of water and drought. So don’t think that as long as there is snow, there will be no shortage of water. You must water the plants when it is time.

3. The best time to water in winter

The temperature in winter is not as high as in other seasons, so you must choose the right time when watering. Generally, watering is done when the temperature is hottest. Noon is the most suitable time. If you feel that the soil in the pot has dried up after a few days, you can water it at noon. If you water it, water it thoroughly at one time.

4. No water accumulation after watering

Although pine red plum prefers humid places, it also has a certain degree of drought resistance. Normally, we just need to keep the soil moist, and never let too much water accumulate in the pot. This should be a taboo for every plant. If there is too much water, its roots will be in a relatively closed state for a long time, which will affect its normal breathing. Therefore, if you find water accumulating in the pot, you must pay attention to timely drainage so that it can grow better.
