Colorful leaf grass is a kind of herbaceous floret which is easy to maintain, but its water demand is more strict. During the growth period, it is necessary to keep the basin soil and environment moist, avoid drought and prevent waterlogging. It generally does not bloom, the biggest ornamental value lies in the color of the leaves. Once watered too much, leaves are easy to dehydrate and lose color, and roots are also easy to be infected and rotten.

I. watering time

When watering in summer, it is not allowed to choose the afternoon with strong light. It is necessary to choose the morning or evening with mild light, or watering at night, but the water temperature should be controlled to avoid frostbite.

II. Watering method

In rainy season, it's OK to let plants rain properly. However, if too much water in the basin will reduce the oxygen in the basin soil, then the normal respiration of the root will be hindered and the absorption of nutrients by the root will be affected. In addition to watering, you can also add moisture by spraying water on the leaves. Indoor maintenance in winter is relatively dry, and water can be sprayed on the leaves regularly to maintain a certain humidity. In summer, plant should be placed in a cool place before watering, so that the temperature in the basin is lower and then watered thoroughly. This is so that the roots of the plants will not be damaged by the temperature difference.

III. water volume

Colorful leaf grass likes enough water, especially in the growth period, it needs to keep the basin soil slightly moist, the soil drought is easy to cause the plant wilting, in addition, it needs to often spray water on the leaf surface and around to keep the air moist. After cooling in winter, water should be reduced properly, otherwise plants will grow too high and water will rot roots. In summer, because the leaves of the color leaf grass are large and the evaporation is also large, it must be watered enough, or it will wilt.

Four, frequency

In the period of rapid growth of plants, water should be replenished in time, and the surrounding environment should not be excessively dry. Generally speaking, when the basin soil turns white in spring and autumn, and the basin weight becomes lighter obviously, it can supplement enough water. But in winter, we must strictly control the amount and times of watering. We can choose to do it once every two to three days.
