5 tips for watering flowers in summer

Water Quality

When it comes to choosing water, the best is pure natural rainwater or snow water. If there is no rain in the summer, you can also use tap water, but you must wait for a day or two before watering the flowers to ensure that the chlorine in the water can evaporate. You can also add a little VC. Or you can use some tea water, water from boiling eggs, or fermented rice water.

Water temperature

The temperature of the water should be based on the temperature of the soil in the flowerpot, and the temperature between the two must not be too different. You can prepare some water and place it next to the flowerpot to reduce the temperature difference between the two. This is a natural temperature control method. Generally, the difference between the two should be less than 5 degrees.

time

Sometimes it is dry in summer and water evaporates quickly, so the amount of watering should be increased. It is best to water the flowers in the morning or evening, and never water them at noon.

flowerpot

Watering is also related to the flower pot. For example, if it is planted in a smaller and shallower flower pot, then it needs to be watered in small amounts and multiple times. If it is a clay pot, you will need to water it more often because it is more permeable. Some glazed basins and stone basins have poorer water permeability, so be careful not to allow water to accumulate.
