Should I change the watering frequency during the different growing stages of my Variegated song of India?
Water at least twice a week during its growing season, and you'll find that they can grow quicker. When they are in their early stages, the Variegated song of India is very sensitive to the minerals in tap water, so it's best to expose them to rainwater or filtered water. While they are young, exposure to unnecessary chemicals can result in stunted growth and discoloration. A balanced fertilizer and watering whenever the soil is dry can help during the growing season. In the growing season, the watering should be 1 to 2 times a week. When it's already established, you might want to water it once every 3 weeks. When you report a grown Variegated song of India, you need to water the soil well to make it damp. You can also wipe the leaves with a wet cloth to keep the insects away and to help them have more humidity during summer.
