When to Water
Regular watering during the growing season ensures optimal plant health. Follow these tips:
- Newly Planted Butterfly Candy bushes: Water deeply 2-3 times per week until established.
- Established Plants: Once established, Butterfly Candy is moderately drought-tolerant. Water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells.
How to Water
Watering efficiently helps maintain plant health and encourages deeper root growth:
- Deep Watering: Ensure water penetrates deeply into the soil around the roots. A good practice is to soak the soil to about 6-8 inches deep.
- Avoid Wet Foliage: Water at the base of the plant, keeping foliage dry to reduce the risk of disease.
- Morning Watering: Early morning watering is ideal as it allows foliage to dry quickly, minimizing disease risk.
Watering Tips
- Mulching around your Butterfly Candy helps retain soil moisture, reduces watering frequency, and adds nutrients to the soil.
- Monitor soil moisture; ensure it’s moist but not waterlogged.
Consistent watering ensures your Butterfly Candy Butterfly Bushes remains a sweet treat, adding joy and color to your garden landscape throughout the growing season!
