rice plant

Rice plants (Oryza sativa 'Red Dragon') need to be watered 1-2 times per week. The amount of water needed will depend on the weather and your watering schedule. If humidity is high, water less often. If the weather is particularly hot and dry, water more often. In general, water your plants until you see excess water draining from the bottom of the pot. When watering, make sure you saturate the soil evenly without creating too much runoff. This will ensure that the roots are properly nourished.

Rice plants (Oryza sativa 'Red Dragon') require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily or 8-10 hours of indirect sunlight daily. This sunlight should be on the plant from early in the morning until mid-afternoon. Placing the plant in full sun will give it the maximum amount of light it needs to thrive. Direct sunlight for too long of a period will result in leaf burn, so use care when exposing the plant to the sun.

Rice plants (Oryza sativa 'Red Dragon') should be pruned at least twice each season: once in the late winter/early spring before new growth appears, and again in the late summer/early fall when growth slows. Pruning should focus on removing dead, diseased, and damaged branches, as well as any stems that are crossing or rubbing against each other. In addition, excess suckers should be removed to promote larger grains and higher yields. Pruning should be done lightly, as too much pruning will reduce yields and can cause the plant to become weak and prone to disease.
