how much water?

Question

I have rooted a cutting (pomegranate) and have it in a pot. We are in Autumn (South Africa) and I find it is deciduous. I hope to plant it out in spring. Once it looses its leaves, how much water should I give it through winter, if any? (in the pot)

Answer 1

You can cut way back in winter. I'm in los angeles and I water potted fruit trees about once a week or so. The previous guy gives a good way of checking the moister in the soil, but be sure and check the bottom of the pot. Use a slender bamboo stake and push it down along the inside of the pot and check to see it's not soggy when you take it out. Sometimes you can get dry soil on top and water pooling at the bottom, rotting the roots.

Answer 2

Make sure the soil is well drained. Don't let the soil get too dry. If you pick up a small ball (golf ballze) and squeeze. If it falls apart the soil is too dry and needs water. Depending on the size of roots it ly once a week.

Answer 3

i exploit warm water for bathtub. And for drink, relies upon what i'm ingesting. For coffee and tea, its warm water, for chilly drink, it somewhat is chilly water with ice. For ingesting straight forward water it somewhat is accepted water, (impartial).
