How often do balfour's touch-me-not need to be watered?
Balfour's touch-me-not likes a sufficient amount of water, but are not resistant to waterlogging or drought. If too much water is applied, it easily accumulates and causes root rot and withered leaves. If watering is inadequate, the plants will suffer and their leaves and flowers will drop. When the weather is hot in summer, plants are usually watered about once every 2 days. Be careful not to water at noon when the temperature is highest; it is best to do it in the morning or evening.
If the plant appears yellow or withered, spray water first and then water. The weather is cooler in spring and fall with less water transpiration, so watering can be done once every 5 days. When the air is dry in summer and fall, spray more water to maintain relatively high humidity in the environment. However, be sure that there is no accumulated water in the soil. Otherwise, the plants will die from waterlogging.
