Sunlight requirements

The maintenance of watercress is relatively extensive. Make sure there is sufficient sunshine at ordinary times. Most families will put watercress in the courtyard for maintenance. Normal sunlight is enough. It needs shade to grow well.

Cultivation of watercress must not be short of water, otherwise the leaves will dry up, so water must be poured into the container frequently. During the growth period, remove debris from the water in a timely manner to keep the water clean.

In winter, make sure there is enough moisture in the container and place it indoors in a sunny place with backlight to survive the winter safely.

Insulation

In the north, winter temperatures are low. Although watercress has a certain degree of cold tolerance, if it is below -10°C, it will not be able to grow green in spring. So after winter, move the flowerpot to a warm place, or cover it with plastic film to keep it warm.

Weeding and top dressing

During the growth period, top dressing only needs to be done 1 to 2 times, but not too frequently to promote the growth and development of the plant. In addition, it is necessary to prevent and control aphids in time, do a good job of ventilation, and deal with aphids promptly when they are found.
