Planting flowers and vegetables at home can not only cultivate sentiment and decorate the home, but also purify the air and enrich people's spare time.
In leisure time, enjoying flowers and watering them can also relieve people's pressure.
However, many people can't grow flowers well at home.
Good flowers will either have yellow leaves or rotten roots when they are taken home, and finally some empty flowerpots will be harvested.
In fact, we should pay attention to some skills and methods when growing flowers. For example, some flowers and plants bought at the flower market died directly after a month or two, and we don't know what happened.
Listen to the old gardener explain the mystery to you. Many flowers can't be raised well, but the flowers and plants bought didn't change pots in time. There are many tricks in this simple step, which we must not ignore.
Why do some plants need to change soil and pots?
First, the reason for changing pots, soil and plants.
Most of the newly bought flowers and plants are maintained with simple soft-skinned pots or nutrient pots. In order to facilitate the maintenance and reduce the cost, the flowerpots used in the flower shed are relatively simple nutrient pots, which are particularly breathable and permeable, and are more suitable for the maintenance environment in the flower shed.
But many people take it home and think it is not very beautiful, so they can directly change it into beautiful flowerpots.
When changing pots, you must pay attention to see if its root system is broken or damaged, and what soil it is.
If you use pastoral soil to cultivate flowers and plants, don't go to the pot immediately, because pastoral soil is not suitable for indoor maintenance, especially easy to harden. It won't take long for the roots to harden, and no matter how hard the soil is, nothing can be raised.
When changing the basin, don't fill the nutrient soil outside, just bring its original pimple into the basin. Nine times out of ten, such plants can't be raised well.
If it is a plant with nutrient soil, you can directly remove the soft-skinned basin and replace it with loose and breathable nutrient soil. The original pot can grow well without moving.
If it is made of pastoral soil, it is necessary to wash the roots and change the pots. After soaking the original pastoral soil, take out 2/3 of the soil and put it in the basin.
Then replace it with loose and breathable soil, which is more suitable for family maintenance and can be maintained for a long time, so it is super good to raise.
If you buy tall large plants, such as Gaofu tree and Happiness tree, you may bring some tall flowerpots, so you should also look at what the soil is like.
If it is pastoral soil, you must organize it yourself, and don't bring that kind of hard soil, otherwise the big flowers and plants will easily die.
Second, what kind of plants are not suitable for changing pots?
If the plants you buy are in flowering or bud stage, such plants must not change pots first, and do not touch their soil and roots, because they are in a critical period of absorbing water and nutrients.
A little improper pot change will easily damage the root system and affect the flowering quantity and flower buds.
Many friends may have encountered this situation. The flowers I just bought are very lush. If I change them, they will wither and die directly. This is because they moved to its roots.
Flowering plants and plants with buds should be kept in the scattered light for three to five days without moving the basin, and then gradually bask in the sun.
If you don't think its original flowerpot looks good, put it in a beautiful flowerpot for maintenance first.
After it blooms, it is the most critical time, and it is also the most suitable time to trim the residual flowers and change pots.
Third, the method of changing pots and soil.
Family flowers, the soil should be loose and breathable, not hardened. Therefore, when using basin soil, several kinds of soil should be used, mixed with each other and integrated.
Such as nutrient soil, granular soil, pine needle soil, etc. These materials are mixed together and can adapt to most plants. This kind of soil is porous, breathable, nutritious and hard to harden.
Even if the indoor air circulation is not good, excess water can penetrate quickly, and there will be no siltation and root rot.
If flowers and plants are not maintained with nutrient soil, they must be washed and changed after flowering, and the original pastoral soil can be removed for long-term maintenance.
Many people may take the original clods directly to the basin, or mix them with nutritious soil outside, only to find that they can't be raised well, and it is easy for the sandwiches to be watered, which is caused by improper basin change.
Fourth, don't change the pot easily.
A friend buys flowers in a flower shop, and when he sees a beautiful flowerpot, he will let the flower shop directly change it into a beautiful flowerpot. In fact, this is also very incorrect, because a lot of soil in flower shops is also pastoral soil mixed with some wood chips and other substances.
Problems may not occur in a short time.
If the curing time is long, sawdust will ferment and heat in it, and it is easy to burn to the roots.
For the sake of long-term maintenance, it is more reliable to buy flowers and plants in soft-skinned pots, mix them with nutritious soil and replace them with beautiful flowerpots.
When changing pots, don't just pay attention to the beauty of pots, but also look at the ventilation of pots.
Some tall flowerpots are covered with a layer of enamel, but in fact there is only a small air hole, so this kind of flowerpot is airtight and has poor water permeability, and it is easy to grow flowers and die.
When choosing flowerpots, try to choose red clay pots, purple sand flowerpot or clay pots with good air permeability, although it will be more expensive.
However, it takes a long time to grow flowers and is well ventilated, which makes it easier to grow luxuriantly and continuously.
If you don't choose these pottery pots, you can choose flowerpots with better air permeability and water permeability, such as gallon pots and Qingshan flowerpots with larger bottom holes.
It looks very high, and it is breathable and permeable, mainly because it is cheaper and suitable for most friends to grow flowers.
