As for the watering method of Dutch chrysanthemum, it needs to follow the principle of see the dry and see the wet. Specifically, it can be watered more in spring and summer, less in autumn, and it needs to be watered once before winter, and then it doesn't need to be watered again in winter.

1. Its demand for water

This kind of plant likes humid environment. However, it has a certain tolerance to drought. However, a long time without watering is definitely not good. Besides, it should not be too wet to accumulate water. The reason is very simple, the water accumulates many, very easy to rot.

2. Principles to be followed

Generally speaking, the principle is "see dry see wet". Generally speaking, it is to wait until the basin is dry enough before pouring. If it hasn't dried thoroughly, it can not be watered temporarily. In addition, even when pouring, it should be fully poured. This is not only to prevent excessive watering, leading to rotten roots, but also to avoid some diseases and insect pests caused by humidity.

3. Watering in specific period

(1) in the vigorous period of its growth, specifically in spring and summer. At this stage, more water can be poured, because the water demand will be correspondingly large.

(2) in autumn, because of the drought, more water should be poured. Not only in autumn, but also in other times of relative drought.

(3) before winter, we need to water it with frozen water. This is done to ensure that it can survive the winter safely. In other periods of winter, generally, the growth of plants tends to be slow, and the water demand also decreases. Well, it's OK without watering.

4. Precautions

Summer may be in rainy season, and the rain may be very urgent. At this time, if you get caught in the rain, you can use less water. However, when the rain is very heavy, it is not suitable to keep it outside. Remove it in time to avoid excessive water accumulation.
