The Fortune Tree is a common indoor foliage plant, which is loved by many people because of its auspicious meaning and beautiful shape. However, many people often do not know how to water the fortune tree in the process of maintaining it, resulting in problems such as wilting and yellow leaves of the fortune tree. This article will introduce in detail the watering frequency of indoor fortune trees, as well as precautions, to help you better maintain your fortune trees.
1. Watering frequency.
1.Seasonal influences.
The frequency of watering of a fortune tree can be affected by the season and temperature. In spring and autumn, when the temperature is suitable and the fortune tree grows vigorously, it needs to be watered properly and often to keep the soil moist. In the summer heat, evaporation is high, and the amount and frequency of watering need to be increased to maintain the water balance of the plant. In winter, when the temperature is low, the plant enters the dormant period and the water requirement is reduced, so the number of watering times and the amount of water should be appropriately reduced.
2.Potting soil moisture.
The frequency of watering of the fortune tree is also related to the potting soil moisture. Potting soil that is too dry or too wet can adversely affect plant growth. Therefore, when watering, the humidity of the potting soil should be observed, and the watering frequency should be determined according to the dryness of the potting soil. Generally speaking, it is sufficient to water the surface of the potting soil after it has dried.
3.Growth stage.
The water requirements of the Fortune Tree are also different at different stages of growth. In the seedling stage, the water requirement of the plant is large, and the number of watering times and water needs to be increased appropriately. At maturity, the water requirement of the plants is relatively reduced, but the soil still needs to be kept moist. Therefore, the frequency of watering should be determined according to the growth stage of the plant.
2. Precautions.
1.Avoid overwatering.
Although the Fortune tree needs water, overwatering can cause root rot and affect plant growth. Therefore, when watering, you should avoid overwatering and keep the soil moist.
2.Avoid cold watering.
Fortune trees prefer a warm environment, and if they are watered with cold water in hot weather, it will affect the growth of the plant. Therefore, when watering, you should avoid watering with cold water, and you should use warm or room temperature water.
3.Pay attention to ventilation.
Indoor maintenance of fortune trees needs to pay attention to ventilation, if the ventilation is poor, it will lead to poor plant growth, and even pests and diseases. Therefore, when maintaining the fortune tree, attention should be paid to ventilation and air circulation.
4.Pay attention to the lighting.
Fortune trees need plenty of light to grow healthy. If the light is insufficient, it will lead to problems such as thinness and yellowing of the plant. Therefore, when maintaining the fortune tree, you should pay attention to the light situation and keep the plant receiving sufficient light.
In conclusion, the frequency of watering of an indoor fortune tree can be affected by a variety of factors such as season, temperature, potting soil humidity, and growth stage. When maintaining the fortune tree, the watering frequency should be determined according to the specific situation, and attention should be paid to avoid overwatering, avoid cold watering, pay attention to ventilation and pay attention to light and other issues. Only in this way can the fortune tree grow healthily and add a beautiful home environment.
