If too much water, it can lead to water accumulation in the basin, and the root will grow bad, easy to trigger a blade and the phenomenon of excessive growth. At this time, apply timely drainage treatment. And then water when the soil is dry and stop watering when the soil is moist. In high air humidity weather, do not water.
