How often do you water peace Lily's, sunflowers, and a cactus?

PEACE LILIES ::





Peace Lilies prefer an evenly moist soil. Most people find that they can water their plants once a week, depending of course on light and temperature conditions. At lower light levels or cooler temperatures, any plant will use less water than when it is more actively growing. Use room temperature water. Soil should never be soggy, and plants should never stand in a saucer filled with water. Peace Lilies should also never be allowed to completely dry out, which will result in wilting of the plant, death of the tiny root hairs which conduct water to the plant, and subsequent yellowing or browning of the leaf edges. Peace Lilies do exhibit a sensitivity to chlorine in the water, so in metropolitan areas where it may be heavily chlorinated, it's best to allow the water to stand overnight to allow the chlorine to dissipate before watering the plants.





It is not a good idea to let the foliage droop severely between watering on a consistent basis. Once these plants droop and then are watered, they stand back up, but because of the strain on the plant a few of the lower leaves will turn yellow and must be removed. This is due to root system damage, and as a result you will have to keep the soil moister. Try watering a peace lily thoroughly and then let the soil at the top dry out to the touch (about two inches down).





SUNFLOWERS ::





Like its name the sunflower needs plenty of direct sun; a minimum of 6hrs a day to grow healthy plants. If you plant sunflowers out of direct sun light they will stretch for the sun. They will become so spindly stretching for the sun eventually they will fall to the ground. We recommend full sun for the better part of the day to grow strong healthy sunflowers.


They need a lot of water. they must be watered daily in the evening for best results.





CACTUS ::





You should be very careful about watering the Cactus Plants. In summer, they should be watered twice a week. while in winter you can water them once in a week.

once a week, once a day, once a month.





now how much water?
Reply:It depends on where you live. I live in the desert and water my sunflowers everyday, but I never water the cactus. And it hasn't rained here for a year or so, and they are still alive.
Reply:Peace lilys like moderate soil, sunflowers do as well so only water when the soil feel dry. As far as Cactus they are a desert plant and are used to dry conditions so only water about once every 2 weeks.
Reply:peace Lily's like a moderately wet soil, cactus about 2 times a week,sunflowers about 1 gallon a of water a day.
Reply:Peace Lily likes soil to feel dry before it's watered. Doesn't like too much water. Used as an indoor plant.





Sunflowers - outdoor plant likes watering regularly in well drained soil.





Cactus usually can survive on rainwater (remember they are desert plants)
