The proper development of indoor plants depends largely on irrigation that we give to them. And unfortunately, many mistakes in this regard: or we give them too much water or do not give them enough. The second error is cleared and we could recover the plant. The former is more serious. A plant “drowned” it’s hard not to rot and die.Generally indoor plants need to be watered when the soil surface is dry to the touch. This is not to say that we should let them dry out, but if we let almost completely suck previous irrigation water. We should avoid frequent irrigations and standard surface and only them if necessary.
Irrigation will make it as follows: Waters entire floor surface, until you see that the water flows through the drainage holes. This water will flow, the empty it a few minutes later, as leaving it on the plate, roots rot.The irrigation water temperature is recommended to be friendly. Cold water inhibits growth and staining the leaves of various plants. Also pay attention to chlorine because some plants are very sensitive to chlorine in drinking water. If you use tap water, it is advisable to let it sit for a day before use so that the chlorine can evaporate.Plants adapted to arid regions (such as cacti or succulents) better support the lack of water. However, they require more frequent watering in summer, because their growing conditions are maximum.
