Canadian Fleabane watering guide

Watering Frequency

Recommended Schedule: every 3–5 days during active growth, less frequently in dormant periods

Water lightly and frequently during germination and early growth; reduce frequency as the plant establishes; allow soil to dry slightly between waterings once mature.

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 deeply at the root zone to encourage deep roots; ensure water penetrates the soil but does not pool; water early in the day to minimize evaporation.

Watering Tips

  • Water at the base to avoid foliage wetting; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot; adjust frequency based on weather and soil moisture.

Pro Tip

Use a gentle stream to avoid displacing seeds or young plants.

Common Watering Mistakes

Overwatering

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

Inconsistent Watering

Letting soil dry completely then flooding it stresses the plant.

Surface Watering

Only wetting the top layer doesn't reach deep roots.
