The watering rules for potted yam and ground planting are different. Potted plants should be watered only when the soil is dry. Generally, they should be watered after the soil is dry, and they should be watered thoroughly every time. In the early stage of ground planting, you need to water lightly, do not use flood irrigation, wait until the later period when it is drier, and then use flood water to irrigate thoroughly. Watering time is usually in the morning or evening, usually not at noon, otherwise the water will be easily lost and it will not absorb enough water.

1. Never dry or water: The yam plant has a certain degree of drought tolerance, and it is a tuber. Once the environment is too humid, it will easily affect its breathing. It is also not conducive to plant growth. For potted plants, be sure to allow the soil to dry before watering. Water thoroughly every time, so that the alternation of dry and wet is more conducive to the plant's absorption of water.

2. Shallow watering to prevent waterlogging: for ground-planted yams Generally speaking, the soil is not that prone to drought, so watering frequency does not need to be too high. In the early stage, there is no need to water as long as the topsoil is less than 5 cm moist. Water the first time when the plant grows to 1 meter high, and the second time 20 days later. These two waterings should be done shallowly and not flooded with water. When the tubers are in the enlargement stage, if the soil is dry, they will need to be watered thoroughly. In addition, in autumn, attention should be paid to drainage to avoid waterlogging.

2. Watering time

The time for watering yams is generally in the morning or evening. Be sure to avoid watering at noon. Because the light at noon is strong and the temperature is relatively high, water is easily lost after watering, making it unable to absorb enough water. In addition, there is no need to water during the rainy season. The environment itself is relatively humid, and it is easy to accumulate water after watering, which affects the breathing of the roots.

3. Precautions

Yam It does not require much water. If you water it too much, it will affect the growth of the plant. Especially if the pot soil accumulates water, it will also affect the breathing of the roots, and may cause it to rot over time. To deal with root rot caused by overwatering, you must first drain and increase air circulation to allow the water to evaporate as quickly as possible. If the situation does not improve, it needs to be removed from the pot, the rotten roots should be properly trimmed, and the plant replanted.
