Spring is the peak season of growth, the water demand is relatively large, and the watering needs to be completed before noon. It is not allowed to water at noon in summer. It is recommended to water in the morning and evening. Reduce watering in autumn. Water supply can be cut off in winter. In addition, according to the size of the flowerpot and the strength of the soil drainage capacity, select the appropriate amount of water, and do not let the basin water.

Pot size

Watering is a meticulous work, even the different flowerpots will affect the quality of watering. Some of the seedlings of Kumquat are very big, but the flowerpot is smaller. In this case, the amount of watering should be a little more. On the contrary, if the seedlings are very small but the basin is very large, the amount of watering should be less.

Growing period

If kumquat is in the golden period of growth, more water should be poured in the period of vigorous growth, and no water should be poured in the period of dormancy.

Weather

It's easy to understand that in hot weather, the evaporation rate of water is naturally fast, so the amount of water should also be increased. On the contrary, when it's sunny or cloudy, you can use less water

Season

As mentioned above, when spring just comes, it is the golden time for it to grow. At this time, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and the amount of water poured should be increased a little. In early spring, water the kumquat before noon. Summer is hot, the growing environment of Kumquat is also good, but the transpiration is bigger, watering more

In summer, we all know that we can't water at noon, so the time of watering should be in the morning or in the evening.

In early autumn, the temperature gradually drops, and the blooming of Kumquat flowers is relatively slow, so we should water less.

Winter temperature is low, enter dormancy period of Kumquat try not to water
