How to water the Dripping Guanyin

The weeping angel is a plant that likes moisture, so watering is good for its growth. However, it is not necessary to water it every day, just water it when necessary.

Watering method

Method and cycle

The general way to water the weeping angel is to water it thoroughly at one time. If you are watering from above, water until water slightly comes out from the bottom of the pot. If you use the immersion method, soak until the surface of the potting soil is moist.

The interval between two waterings is determined according to the conditions of the potting soil. Water again after the potting soil is completely dry to avoid leaf wilting due to lack of water. Generally speaking, except for some moisture-loving flowers, water accumulation in potting soil is prohibited. Use well-aerated soil to prevent root rot.

Different environments and temperatures

In spring and summer, when the ambient temperature is between 15-30℃, water thoroughly when the soil surface is dry.

When the ambient temperature is above 30℃ in summer, water it every day to keep it moist;

Water thoroughly when the ambient temperature is between 10-15℃ in spring and autumn;

In winter, when the ambient temperature is below 10℃ and the plants are not frozen to death, the principle is to water them thoroughly when they are dry, but be careful to keep the water temperature the same as the room temperature (15-20℃).

Precautions

1. The weeping angel plant will only drip water when the indoor temperature is low at night in autumn and winter. In the early morning, you can see water droplets on the tips of the leaves. If the leaves are larger, more water will drip out. Sometimes there will be a small amount of water stains on the ground at the tip of the leaves.

2. The weeping angel is a shade-tolerant and moisture-loving plant. It can grow even if it is completely soaked in water, so there is no need to worry about root rot. When growing it indoors, just make sure the soil in the pot is moist. It only needs to be slightly moist when the temperature is low in winter.

3. If grown outdoors in a sunny place, the leaves will become thicker and wrinkled, and there will be more flowers (the flowers will emit an unpleasant odor at night). It needs to be watered more often, and the soil should not be allowed to become too dry, otherwise the leaves will droop.
