There are many people who like to grow flowers, but some people are afraid of growing flowers and even consider themselves flower killers. In fact, flowers and plants have their own growth habits. Sometimes if they are not properly maintained, flowers and plants will send out some distress signals in advance. If you don't understand, then you can only let the flowers and plants decline and eventually die.
If you want to grow flowers well, you must of course understand the various problems that occur with plants, recognize their distress signals and deal with them promptly to avoid casualties and death, then you can save a lot of money. So what are the signs that tend to appear when growing flowers? Take a look at these situations. If you encounter it, deal with it quickly.
First, the leaves at the bottom of the flowers turn yellow. Check them in time.
If the flowers and plants you just bought have yellow leaves at the bottom when you take them home, they will easily fall off when you touch them with your hands. This problem is definitely caused by improper watering, insufficient watering and drought. The flowers and plants we buy home should be watered thoroughly in time and placed in a ventilated and diffused light place to allow them to adapt to the home environment. Some plants are particularly fond of water. Especially in the hot summer season, they grow very fast and have particularly high water requirements.
If you forget to water it, its capillary roots will suffer some damage. After watering, the leaves at the bottom will turn yellow and wither. Therefore, if you encounter this situation, you must look at the nature of the potting soil to see if it is because the soil is too loose, or the soil is hardened and cannot be watered thoroughly, or it has been drought due to forgetting to water, and find out the problem. This problem will be avoided when you grow flowers in the future. Maintain a normal watering frequency to keep the leaves green and tall, and there will be no problems with the root system.
Second, if the leaves turn black and wither, you need to treat them promptly.
If the leaves at the bottom of the potted plant turn yellow and there are black rots on the edges. This is a root rot problem caused by overwatering, a problem that can easily occur when growing flowers indoors. If the flower plants you raise are watered too much or are too siltated, and there is a pad under the flower pot, and the water inside is not drained out in time, it will cause damage to the root system, which will then show up on the leaves.
When this happens, it must be placed in a ventilated and diffused light place and the pot soil should be allowed to dry. If it is not easy to dry, remove the pot and place it in a ventilated place or blow it with a hair dryer. Dry the pot soil in time to allow it to slow down the seedlings. This way the roots will not continue to rot and the plant can continue to be treated. If you leave it alone, it will most likely die because the root system is damaged.
Third, some withered branches need to be treated promptly.
If the branches on one side of the flower plant being maintained are withered, this problem is also likely to occur when maintaining jasmine in summer. What is the reason for this? This is a problem in which half of the root system wilts due to improper watering or insufficient watering. If you find this problem, you must take it out of the pot and check the root system to see if the rot is too severe.
You can pour some mancozeb in the flower pot to prevent the root system from continuing to rot. And dry the pot soil, trim the dead branches slightly, and let them gradually slow down the seedlings. If left alone, the entire plant will wither and rot.
Fourth, if a plant suddenly wilts, you should check it promptly
If the newly purchased flower plants are placed at home for a few days, you will find that the plants are all withered and wilted. First of all, check whether the pot soil is too dry, there is no watering, or the root system at the bottom is not watered thoroughly, and the leaves are wilted. It is necessary to water thoroughly in time. If the flower pot is too big, you can soak it in a large water basin and water it with a soaking basin. Most plants that grow quickly will slow down within an hour or two.
Another problem is root burning due to excessive fertilization. If your flower plants have wilted leaves, drooping, yellowing of the leaf edges, and there is no lack of water in the pot soil, then consider whether you have applied too much fertilizer or over-fertilized. Seedling burning occurs.If this happens, water a lot, dilute the fertilizer in the soil or replace the pot soil in time to avoid serious problems of burn caused by the root system, and treat it in danger.
Another situation is that due to excessive watering, root rot has occurred, and it has become very serious. This requires removing the pot and pruning the roots, soaking carbendazim , and then potting it. If it is left to develop, only It's a dead end.
Fifth, new leaves turn yellow, and timely treatment is required
If the new leaves of flowers grown at home turn yellow, look at the specific condition of the yellow leaves, whether the veins are green and the leaves are yellow. If this is the case, it is necessary to replenish ferrous sulfate in time and pour ferrous sulfate once or twice a month to cure it in time. Most flowers in the south prefer slightly acidic conditions. If they are maintained for a long time and ferrous sulfate is not used, the problem of yellow leaves will occur.
If it is not treated in time, its leaves will have no chlorophyll, and it is easy to get sunburned, the seedlings will not grow taller, and they will eventually die. If the leaves are slightly yellowish overall, check to see if it is due to lack of light. Many plants like light. If it is placed in a shady place for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow. It is necessary to increase some light in time and gradually increase the light in a semi-shady place. Don't put it in the sun suddenly, as it will burn the leaves.
Sixth, if the flower buds wither, you must treat them promptly.
The newly purchased flowers and plants have not bloomed yet, and they fall off with a crackle, which is very distressing. When this happens, check to see if it is caused by lack of water. If not, do many friends spray water on plants in the flowering and bud stages? After spraying water, the indoor ventilation is not good, and the flower buds cannot evaporate easily, causing the flower buds to fall off. For example, the large flower buds of lilies, gardenia are particularly prone to falling off because the spray water cannot evaporate, causing the flower buds to fall off.
Another reason is due to insufficient fertilization. Plants in the flowering period require frequent addition of fertilizers. Every ten days or so, use dipotassium phosphate or Huaduoduo No. 2 to make them all open. If not much fertilizer is used or the wrong fertilizer is used, the flower buds will not have enough nutrients, which may easily cause the flower buds to shrink and fall off on their own.
When these distress signals appear when growing flowers, you must treat them in time to save the flowers and plants from danger. They will soon eliminate the symptoms and continue to grow and bloom. If you don't take care of it, then in all likelihood it will die just waiting to be empty.
