Xiao Qi has been explaining the problems of growing flowers to flower friends. If he encounters any problems, he will send them to Xiao Qi and ask Xiao Qi to find out the reason. The most common feedback Xiao Qi encounters from flower friends is why the roots of my flowers are rotten? In fact, root rot is the most common problem when growing flowers. If you want flowers to keep their roots from rotting, you must maintain them properly. Today Xiao Qi will tell you about 5 "situations" that can cause root rot. As long as you avoid them in the future, It can have strong green roots and strong flowers, and it can burst into pots.

, no ventilation

If you want to grow flowers well, you must have a ventilated environment. If the environment is not well ventilated, the pot soil will dry very slowly after watering it. Even if you use nutrient soil for planting, it will still dry out. Very slowly, it will eventually lead to root rot. Therefore, if you want to grow flowers well at home, you must ensure a ventilated environment. If there is no ventilation, then we have to artificially regulate it, such as adding a ventilation fan , for example, we should look for it after watering every time. Use an electric fan to blow against the surface of the potting soil. When the soil surface is slightly moist, turn off the electric fan, so that root rot is less likely to occur.

, use self-priming pots

Xiao Qi recently discovered that many gardeners are too lazy to grow flowers. They use self-priming pots that are more common on the market. A transparent flower pot without bottom holes is placed on the outside of the flower pot, and a transparent flower pot without bottom holes is placed on the inside. A thread comes out of the bottom hole of a flower pot and is directly connected to the bottom. In this flower pot without a bottom hole, water is added to the pot, and the cotton thread is kept in the water to absorb water into the pot soil. This is the easiest way to cause root rot.

Because cotton thread can conduct water, if water is always in the soil, the soil will be very wet and in a state of siltation, and root rot will occur. Therefore, when growing flowers at home, try not to use self-priming pots. Self-priming pots are just for lazy people to grow for fun. There are very few flowers that are actually grown in self-priming pots.

3, water accumulates in the bottom support

Generally, flowers are grown indoors. When watering flowers indoors, if there is no bottom support at the bottom, the water will flow everywhere and make the house very dirty, so we usually add water. A base, but improper use of the base at home can also lead to root rot. For example, water will flow out of the bottom hole after watering. If there is always water in the bottom support, or if you water directly from the bottom support, it is most likely to cause root rot.

Because there are holes at the bottom of the flower pot, there is always water in the bottom bracket, and the water keeps absorbing into the soil. The soil is always in a state of siltation, and roots will rot. Therefore, it is okay to use a bottom tray to grow flowers at home, but try to drain the water in the bottom tray in time after watering, otherwise the roots will easily rot.

4, there is fungus in the soil

The most critical thing about growing flowers and root rot is that there is a problem with our soil. If your soil is not clean and there is fungus, root rot will occur. For example, if you use some soil that has not been fermented thoroughly, after planting flowers, it will ferment in the flower pot, and the fermentation will burn the roots. For example, if you use old soil dumped from the pot to plant, the roots will also rot. Because the roots of the previous flowers have rotted and died, and there are fungi in the soil, it is not possible to plant other plants. Try not to use old soil.

5, Frequent watering

The most critical factor in gardening flowers at home to prevent root rot is improper watering. Some gardeners feel that sufficient water must be ensured when growing flowers. If there is a lack of water, it will dry out, so they will water frequently, and the soil surface Watering when it is still very wet may cause root rot. Because plants require the soil to undergo a process of rapid dryness and wetness. The so-called dryness and wetness means that the soil surface must have a drying process, because when the soil surface is dry, the soil underneath is still wet. There won't be any problems.

And it needs to be dry and wet quickly, that is, the soil surface can be dry within three to five days after watering, so as to ensure that the roots will not rot, so when growing flowers at home, you must control the watering well. For plants that like water, just allow the soil to dry out for a centimeter or two before watering.We can put our fingers into the soil and feel it. If the humidity is relatively low, we can water it. If it is a drought-loving plant, wait until the soil is more than half dry before watering, and there will be no problem.

Watering is the key when growing flowers with rotten roots. Fungi in the soil can also cause problems. As for the other three points above, avoid them according to what Xiao Qi said. When growing flowers, try to ensure that the environment is ventilated as much as possible. Use small flower pots with good air permeability, use soil with good air permeability, and do not accumulate water. We can grow flowers with twice the result with half the effort. It is also very simple to grow good flowers.
