Do you know how to water plants? Watering is a key part of the flower-growing process. It sounds so simple, but you should understand how to water plants correctly, improve your watering efficiency, which will make plant care easier.

• Insufficient or excessive watering

Excessive watering will cause the soil to be in a state of waterlog for a long time, resulting in poor soil permeability, inability of the root system to breathe normally, and therefore a lack of oxygen and ultimately rot. The correct way to water is to wait until the soil surface is dry before watering, and each time you water, you should water thoroughly and let the water flow out from the bottom of the pot. At the same time, the amount of watering should be adjusted according to seasonal changes. For example, in summer, when the temperature is high and the water evaporates quickly, the frequency of watering can be appropriately increased. Likewise, in winter when the temperature is low and plants grow slowly, watering frequency can be reduced.

• Waternot reaching the bottom of the soil

Frequent and small amounts of watering may result in incomplete watering, which only wets the surface of the soil. When the soil surface is dry, the plant will dry quickly, thereby promoting the shallow root growth of the plant. The correct aandh is to water slowly and multiple times to ensure that the water can penetrate the soil of the entire flowerpot until there is excess water flowing out from the bottom of the pot, to ensure that the roots of the plants can absorb enough water and thrive.

• Moistening the leaves

Plants rely on their roots to absorb water. If water is poured directly on the leaves, not only is the efficiency of the leaves to absorb water much lower than that of the roots, but this approach may also increase the risk of plant diseases. Wet leaves are more likely to become a breeding ground for pathogens and microorganisms. So, when watering make sure to water the roots of the plants and avoid wetting the leaves.

Insufficient or excessive watering, water not reaching the bottom of the soil, and watering the leaves are three common mistakes that may cause serious damage to the growth of plants. We must recognize the importance of watering methods and ensure that the correct ones are used to maintain the healthy growth of plants.

Greenship HomeOasis Self-Watering Flowerpot can completely solve all the above problems. The lower part of the flowerpot is designed with a special water reservoir. Simply add water to the reservoir and you can observe the water level through the water viewing window. The bottom of the upper pot is equipped with a water absorption column. This patented feature allows the plant’s roots to absorb water automatically as needed, thereby maintaining the moisture of the soil. You can refill water in 3 seconds and not worry about watering for up to 30 days. At the same time, the plant roots will not directly come into contact with the water, avoiding the risk of root rot.
