Do sweet pea need a lot of water?
Sweet pea needs more watering at the seedling stage to keep the soil surface moist. After the seedlings grow up, they are generally more drought-tolerant and can be watered less. Spring is their vigorous growth period, during which the root system absorbs lots of water and the soil easily dries. Add water appropriately. Do not water too much in winter or the soil surface will freeze, causing the plant to die.
In addition, it is best to water directly to the root, because spraying water from top to bottom will wet the branches and provide good conditions for fungi. Watering in the morning so the water has basically evaporated or been absorbed before night. This tip will help your plants avoid diseases caused by soil moisture.
The soil in a flower pot tends to dry out more easily than soil in the garden. For potted plants, increase the frequency or amount of watering. This advice should be taken especially when the water demand increases due to warming weather.
