I often buy various potted plants grown in yellow soil, including common jasmine, Milan, camellia and magnolia plants. The purchased plants are cultivated using these yellow garden soils, which are easy to use. It is hardened and cannot be absorbed by subsequent watering. How do I deal with it?
. What situations will cause the repot to fail?
Many people will recommend washing their roots, but if you don't pay attention to pruning too many branches and leaves to reduce water loss; don't pay attention to using smaller pots to slow down the seedlings; or don't replenish water in time in the later stage; in excessive high temperatures, excessive Repotting of fine roots when the temperature is low; insufficient ventilation of the environment; excessive lack of light will all result in the failure of these re-rooted seedlings to recover.
. Treatment of potted plants in yellow soil in summer
For example, in the hot summer, after washing the roots of plants grown in yellow soil and then potting them again, not only will new roots not grow, but the plants will easily wither.
In fact, there is a very convenient and quick method. As long as you pay attention to the reasonable replenishment of water and keep the plants in the right position, you can make these plants grown in yellow mud take root quickly. The survival rate is particularly high. This method is especially suitable for use in summer.
3. Use small pots with good drainage to plant
As long as you pay attention to a few tips, there is no big problem in planting directly. Be careful to use smaller pots and don’t change them to large pots all at once, even shrubs or trees. no.
Depending on the size of the soil ball when you buy it, plant it in a flowerpot of the same size, and it is best to use a small pot with particularly many drainage holes. You can use plastic pots and terracotta pots.
If the holes at the bottom of the plastic basin are too small or too few, you can drill a few more holes on the bottom and sides. You can directly poke a few holes with the electric soldering iron .
4. Yellow soil ball treatment
If the original soil ball is loose, don’t worry, just remove the surface soil and add some loose and well-drained new soil. Compact the soil properly, and then water it thoroughly. One-time rooting solution.
If the soil balls have already agglomerated when you first bought them, do not rush to transplant them at this time. Soak the soil balls in clean water for 2 to 3 hours. After the soil balls are soft, you can use clean water. Gently spray the surface of the soil ball, do not damage the root system inside, and then transplant it, so that the survival rate is relatively high. The main thing is to wash away the surface soil and leave the soil protecting the roots intact.
When plants grown in yellow soil are transplanted into a flower pot of the same size as the soil ball, the pot soil must be watered with a rapid rooting solution. It must be completely watered, and then moved to a ventilated and light-transmitting place to slowly increase the light. This can promote the rapid growth of roots and improve the survival rate.
5. Dry and wet management of pot soil
Later maintenance is also extremely critical. The yellow soil cannot be completely dried out. The original soil mass must not be completely dry, but must be kept slightly moist. If it dries out completely, the soil will become extremely hard and clumpy, making it difficult to absorb water. Its roots will always be short of water, which will cause the branches and leaves to wither.
For plants grown in yellow soil, if the yellow soil is not washed away, you should also pay attention to pruning off some branches and leaves to reduce water loss and quickly promote the growth of new buds. When
is just transplanted, in addition to planting in small pots, you should also be careful not to rush to fertilize. You can add a little bit of fertilizer to the new pot soil slowly, but not too much. Just sprinkle a little bit.
cannot be grown in a place with poor ventilation or excessive shade.
Later management is to keep the yellow soil slightly moist, but not too humid, let alone water accumulation. This method is more suitable for diligent flower lovers, who have a little more. Take the time to care for your plants and check the soil frequently for moisture and dryness.
