There are three misunderstandings: fear of big water, so water a little every day, fear of wilting seedlings, so spray water every day, and water the soil and leaves together. The correct way is: every time watering, do not dry, do not water; after the slow seedling period, stop spraying water, and do not water on the leaves, it is easy to induce anthrax.

I'm afraid of big water, so I water it a little every day.

Big water means that the basin soil is very wet but often watered (every day), so that the basin soil does not dry for a long time, so it is easy to cause root rot and seedling death. Some people will only pour a little water at a time, which will make the upper layer of the basin soil moist, but the bottom layer of the basin soil is still dry, the seedlings will lack water, the sun will wilt, the growth will not go up.

The right way is: every time you water it, you should pour it thoroughly. When the pot soil is dry, you can water it again. It's very effective to use the method of soaking pot.

I'm afraid the seedlings will wilt, so I spray water every day

At the beginning of planting, many people like to spray water on the leaves with a watering can, for fear that the leaves will wilt. Some people even spray water every day after the slow seedling period, which results in the black and rotten of the seedling heart. This is because the strawberry is ill. Spray water on the leaves in high temperature days, which is easy to cause strawberry anthrax. Always spray water on the leaves will also cause them to be lazy to absorb water from the soil, which is not conducive to the development of new roots.

When watering, soil and leaves should be poured together.

Strawberries and green vegetables are different. Leaves are easy to get sick when drenched with water. Especially when the temperature is high (above 28 ℃), it will induce anthrax. Once strawberries get anthrax, if they don't use medicine again, they will surely die. Therefore, when watering, try to avoid watering on the leaves, but the planting environment is too dry for a long time, so it is easy to get spider. Therefore, it's OK to occasionally drench the leaves when watering (especially when the temperature is low), but try not to drench the whole plant during the flowering and fruiting period. In addition, water must be enough, as long as the pot soil is not dry, do not water every day.
