Wood Anemone watering guide

Watering Frequency

Recommended Schedule: every 7–10 days during active growth, reduce in dormancy

Water sparingly during spring growth, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings; reduce watering significantly in summer dormancy.

Seasonal Watering Guide

Spring/Summer

Active growing season - water more frequently. Check soil every 2-3 days.

Fall/Winter

Dormant period - reduce watering. Allow soil to dry more between waterings.

How to Water Properly

Water at the base of the plant, ensuring moisture reaches the root zone without wetting foliage; allow excess water to drain away.

Watering Tips

  • Water deeply but infrequently; avoid waterlogged soil; adjust based on dormancy periods.

Pro Tip

Water early in the morning to minimize evaporation and fungal risk.

Common Watering Mistakes

Overwatering

The #1 killer of houseplants. Signs include yellowing leaves, soft stems, and musty smell.
