Before we know the skills of using water, we must first thoroughly understand the environment that this flower likes! Their adaptability is very strong. They can resist both heat and cold. They can grow in light intensity or weak light, but they will grow better if the climate is warmer, the air is wetter and the soil is more fertile. Portulaca oleracea has a strong water storage capacity and is not afraid of drought or waterlogging.
Second, the method of watering
1. Portulaca oleracea is very sensitive to water when it grows vigorously. At this time, the pot soil should not be too wet, otherwise its stems and leaves will grow white, become soft and the flowers will be sparse. But if it is too dry, the stems and leaves will shrink, the stem nodes will become shorter, and the flowers will become less and smaller. So at this time, we must water it in time to keep the soil moist. You can choose to water once or twice a week in spring and autumn, but if the temperature is high, you need a lot of water. Water it two or three times a week in summer, especially from June to August. Water every two days. Pay attention to the need to wet the soil, but don't water it too much. Otherwise, its roots will rot or even the whole plant will die. In addition, the watering time in summer should be after sunset, otherwise the spray will be closed after watering! 4. In winter, we should breed indoors and put it in a sunny place, and the number of watering should be greatly reduced. Generally, water is poured only once every 15 days, which is much less than that in summer. The time was chosen at noon on a sunny day. Have you learned the above watering methods? I wish all cultivated Portulaca grandiflora can grow healthily!
