If you don't do it, you'll pour it through

When watering longevity flowers, one of the principles to be followed is to water thoroughly without drying. This sentence means that when watering, you need to wait until the soil is completely dry, otherwise rotten roots may appear

In general, in order to determine whether the longevity flower needs watering, you can insert a bamboo stick into the soil. After taking it out, if you find moisture on the bamboo stick, it means that the soil is relatively wet and it is best not to water

Basically, when watering, keep a basin soil moist. When watering, be sure to pour it thoroughly. Pour it slowly with fine water. You can pour it back and forth several times. Be careful not to pour it too hard

It is not recommended to use the basin watering method

Better dry than wet

Another principle to follow in watering longevity flowers is better dry than wet

Although the longevity flower needs to keep the soil moist when watering, especially when its flower buds grow, in some time periods, watering must pay attention to dry rather than wet. These two time periods are cold winter and hot summer. When the temperature is higher than 35 ℃ or lower than 8 ℃, the water should be cut off

In summer, when the temperature is high and the evaporation is fast, people will think that the soil has been dry and water it often. In fact, in summer, the air humidity is very high. Although the surface of the soil has been dry, the bottom is still not dry. Therefore, watering at this time is easy to lead to soil moisture and root rot. In winter, if you water, the water temperature should be close to the indoor temperature, but try not to water, so as to avoid frostbite and decay of plants
