watering habits - dry/drench vs. always damp
So it seems that some plants like to get completely dry, then flooded
and not watered again until dry - but is there an easy way to determine which will work best for a particular plant or family? I've been doing the dry/drench on my ficus benjamina and it has been thriving! Sometimes I go 10 days before adding a drop of water. However I tried the same with my bougainvillea and it wasn't so happy. Creeping fig and grape vines also seem happiest with being damp all the time... Other than that, I'm adding a little bit of organic fish and seaweed fertilizer to every other watering or so. Another curiousity - I spray the leaves every morning on all the plants - does that actually help them, or just make them look shiny? Thanks! - jaydee |
