flower cultivation and water control means that watering is not too much or too often, and watering should be less or stopped. Generally, plants should strictly control water during the dormancy stage, so that the soil is slightly dry as a whole, so as to ensure that they can pass the dormancy period safely. Most plants are dormant in summer or winter. Once dormant, they stop growing, and the demand for water is very small. If they are watered normally, it is difficult for plants to absorb it, but it is easy to retch their roots.
