@jodie.thedesigntwins: Want your mums to last through the season? Follow these simple tips! 1. Soak your mums in a bucket of water when you get home for about 30 min-1 hour. Mums soak up water from their roots so this will ensure they are hydrated! 2. Check your mums regularly by picking them up. If they are light to the touch this means that they don’t have much water left in the pot. It’s time to soak again. 💦One year I was determined to keep my mums alive and I tried watering every single day! But watering from the top doesn’t really work because most of the water just runs straight through the pot (have you noticed?) not giving the roots time to soak up the water they need. Even my daily watering wasn’t enough to keep my mums alive. 😳 Soaking is the trick! And it’s so much easier than daily watering. You shouldn’t have to soak except for a few times… depending on how much sun and heat you have in your climate.👌 Unless you have repotted the plant and then watering would probably be enough. My advice about soaking is really mostly for mums that have not been repotted.
