How often should I water the tiger thorn plum?

1. Spring and Autumn

The climatic conditions in different seasons are different, so the frequency of water supply is also different. It is very drought-resistant and does not require much water, but spring and autumn are the periods of vigorous growth, and it still needs more water. It needs to be replenished with water in time to ensure good growth needs. It can be watered every 3-4 days. The principle is to water it when the soil is dry and wet it when the soil is wet. Do not accumulate too much water to cause root rot. The temperature in early spring and late autumn is relatively low, so less water can be given at this time.

2. Summer

The temperature begins to rise from the end of spring. The sunlight is very strong throughout the summer, the light is strong and the temperature is high, and the evaporation rate becomes very fast. In the early summer, you can water it once a day. In the later period of summer, the temperature rises to about 35 degrees Celsius. At this time, it enters a dormant stage and you can stop watering. If you accidentally apply too much water at this time, it may cause waterlogging and rot of the roots.

3. Winter

It cannot withstand the cold. The cold wind in winter will cause Euphorbia milii to go dormant and its growth will stagnate. At this time, you no longer need to give it water. If the climate is dry, you can water it once a month.
