As a common ornamental plant, the control of the watering frequency of Serissa japonica 'Variegata' is crucial for its growth. Under normal circumstances, in spring, it can be watered once every 2 - 3 days to ensure the soil is moist and promote it to have sufficient water during the growing season. In summer, the temperature is high and water evaporates quickly. Water every day. When it is hot and dry, increase the frequency of spraying water to increase the air humidity. In autumn, as the temperature gradually cools, the watering frequency can be changed to once every 3 - 4 days. In winter, the plant grows slowly and has a reduced demand for water. Water once every 5 - 7 days. However, it should be noted that the watering frequency is not absolute and should be adjusted according to the maintenance environment. For example, in a place with good ventilation and sufficient light, water evaporates quickly, and watering can be appropriately more frequent; conversely, watering should be reduced. In addition, if the soil has good drainage, more water can be applied; if the drainage is poor, less water should be applied to prevent water accumulation and root rot.
