How to water Cyperus

Watering principles

When watering the Cyperus rotundus, we should follow a principle that everyone is familiar with, which is to water it when the soil in the pot is dry, water it thoroughly, and stop when it is thoroughly watered. In addition, during the growth stages other than the growing season, try not to keep it too moist, and the ratio of dry to wet should be about 8 to 2.

Watering during the growing season

Unlike some orchids, the Cyperus rotundus does not hibernate in summer. On the contrary, summer is its most vigorous growth period, and it needs timely and sufficient water. If there is not timely or insufficient water, the entire plant of the Cyperus rotundus will show signs of malnutrition.

Watering during planting period

The so-called planting period is when the Cyperus rotundus is just potted, and the watering steps are also very particular. The water used when first planting is also called rooting water, so it is very critical. The rooting water naturally plays the role of stabilizing the growth needs of the root system. The first watering is needed as soon as it is planted. This time it needs to be watered thoroughly. To what extent should it be watered? Probably, it is the first watering until water starts to flow out from the bottom of the flowerpot, and then you have to start watering for the second time. The second watering is the same as the first time. Repeat this process and the rooting water will be absolutely thorough.

Watering method

The slipper orchid is a flower that can be watered with a watering can, because only during the watering process can the moisture level of the plant be increased and the dust particles on the leaves be washed away. It is a good idea to kill two birds with one stone without harming the slipper orchid.
