The daylight hours continue to shorten, and the plants “understand” that the cold season has arrived – they begin to grow more slowly.

An experienced gardener knows that at this time it is necessary to reduce watering, taking longer breaks between adding moisture.

But when you water, it is better to water the soil well so that the roots receive moisture.

It is better to use settled water for irrigation – it should be at room temperature.

What else do you need to know?

Before watering the flower, you need to check how dry the soil has been since the last addition of moisture - just check with your finger or a stick.

It is important to understand that it is quite dangerous to overwater plants in winter. You also need to drain the water from the tray to prevent root rot.

If the tips of the plant's leaves are drying out, the problem may not only be in watering.

You can try placing several containers of water nearby.
