Caryophyllus is a perennial herb that is loved for its colorful flowers. If you want to raise caryophyllus well, watering is the key. Today, I will introduce you to the correct watering method of caryophyllus.
First of all, we need to understand the growth habits of caryophyllus. Caryophyllum prefers plenty of light and a well-ventilated environment, is more adaptable, and can tolerate both drought and humidity. Therefore, when watering, we must master a principle: see dry and wet, do not dry and do not water, and water thoroughly.
So, how can you tell if a caryophyllum needs watering?Here's an easy way to do this: look at the surface of the soil. If the surface of the soil is dry, and the soil about 3 cm below the surface is also dry, then it means that the caryophyllum needs to be watered. At this point, we can start watering, but remember to try to let the water seep through the edge of the pot when watering, so as not to hit the roots of the caryophyllus directly.
When watering, it is very important to avoid using cold water. Because cold water will irritate the roots of caryophyllus, affecting its absorption of water and nutrients. It is best to use warm water that has been dried, so as to avoid damage to the caryophyllum due to sudden changes in temperature. In addition, when watering, care should also be taken to avoid watering on the leaves of caryophyllus flowers, so as not to cause diseases.
In addition to mastering the correct watering method, the frequency of watering of caryophyllus is also a key factor. In general, water every 2-3 days in spring and autumn, daily in summer, and reduce the frequency of watering in winter depending on the indoor temperature and soil dryness. It should be noted that caryophyllus has a greater demand for water during the vigorous growth and flowering period, so it is necessary to increase the number of watering times appropriately.
In addition, we should also pay attention to the watering skills of caryophyllus. The first is to avoid watering under the scorching sun, so as not to evaporate too quickly, causing damage to the roots of caryophyllus;The second is to avoid overwatering, so as not to cause the root rot of caryophyllus;The third is to avoid not watering for a long time, so as not to cause the caryophyllum to die of drought.
In short, mastering the correct watering method of caryophyllus is the key to raising caryophyllus. As long as we observe carefully and take care of it patiently, carnation will definitely bring us beautiful flowers and a happy mood.
