Economical watering (Practical Gardener)

Table of contents

Due to significant or complete inhibition of growth, the demand for water decreases. Wateringis limited to the necessary minimum - just as much as not to dry the roots and cause the leaves to wilt.The rule is that it is better to dry than overflow.

In winter, fungal diseases, including root rot, develop very easily. When disturbing symptoms are noticed, it is often too late to be rescued.We reduce fertilization in a similar way.

It is enough to use them once a month in a dose half the recommended dose.This frequency is sufficient for the needs of the plant, and at the same time will not stimulate its growth.Winter flowering species such as cyclamen, saintpaulias, azaleas, hipeastrum and kalanchoe are an exception. To ensure their lush and uninterrupted flowering, the soil in the pots should be kept constantly slightly moist and fertilized every 10-14 days with fertilizer for flowering plants.
