#Toutiao Creation Challenge# Under the shadow of the clouds, sitting on the stone steps, hiding a fallen leaf. In the blink of an eye, autumn gradually became stronger. In the memory of farmers, autumn is the season of harvest, but in the memory of flower growers, autumn is the s

For example, the pot of longevity flowers on the windowsill. As soon as the autumn wind blows over, they quietly poke out their heads. Soon, they can bloom layer by layer of small flowers. However, sometimes, longevity flowers suddenly grow "small tails", and this is they sending "soft help signals", so you must not be careless.

What is a small tail

Pay attention to observation. At the base of the longevity flower, sometimes it grows into a small bunch of small white hairs, just like a tail. In fact, this is the aerial rooting of the longevity flower ;

Generally speaking, the longevity flower draws nutrients through the root system in the pot soil. When we observe that these "aerial roots" grow in the stems and leaves, it proves that there are problems with the root system or soil , and it must be treated immediately to avoid deterioration.

Generally speaking, the longevity flower draws nutrients through the root system in the pot soil. When we observe that these "aerial roots" grow in the stems and leaves, it proves that there are problems with the root system or soil , and it must be treated immediately to avoid deterioration.

[Signal 1: Soil Cracking]

When longevity flowers grow into small tails, you must first check whether the soil is solidified. First, check whether there is clumping or clumping on the surface of the soil. If the leaves of longevity flowers wilt severely, it is best to lift the soil in the pot to see if the middle bottom is solid;

Many flower lovers have a misaligned watering habit. They like to water half of the water. They can't help but water the longevity flowers, but they are worried that they will water too much, so they symbolically watered them. moisture The soil in the pot cannot penetrate completely, and the soil at the bottom of the middle will be solidified, which will directly cause the root system to die, affecting the flow of nutrients;

[Solution]

determine the soil in the pot of the longevity flower. The most rude method is to soak, find a water basin, then put the longevity flower on it, and then start to irrigate, and the water will flood the basin surface. soak multiple times, soak for half an hour each time . As long as the soil in the pot is not serious, you can soften the soil twice by this method. Of course, in the soaking pot After that, the longevity flower must be placed in a well-ventilated position, or even a hair dryer, and use a cold air mode to send air to the pot soil of the longevity flower to dry quickly to avoid secondary damage to the root system in this humid environment;

[Signal 2: Root system rot]

If there is no problem with the soil in the pot, you must pay attention to whether the root system rots. You can observe the status of the leaves. Generally, the longevity flower with rotten water will turn yellow, or even become soft and collapse, and there are signs of water transformation, or just pull the pot soil to see if the root system is black;

If most leaves show signs of water melting, or the root system is obviously black, it is proved that there is a problem with the root system. At this time, you must repot decisively to avoid deterioration;

[Solution]

cut off water or artificially air-dried soil, turn the pot backwards and let the longevity flower and flower pot separate, then take a small rake, separate the soil of the pot little by little, then trim all the damaged roots and soak them in mutantol solution, soak for about 10 minutes, and then put it aside to dry;

Prepare the pot soil. In order to increase the potting rate of Changshouhua, it is recommended to choose fertile and breathable soil. Then find a small flower pot, put some vermiculite at the bottom, then pour the pot soil into it, reserve 2 or 3 cm, then put the longevity flower in, cover the root system, and the basin surface is surrounded by vermiculite, fix the longevity flower, water it once and wait quietly for the pot to

[Signal 3: The humidity is too high]

Of course, there is also a situation, that is, the surrounding humidity is too high, and under normal circumstances, longevity flower is long Foresta flowers absorb water through the root system or leaves, . When the surrounding humidity is too high and the watering is not timely, slowly, it will grow from the stems and leaves of the longevity flower to aerial roots;

If you observe the soil and root system are not serious, you must correct your maintenance habits. First, you must water the longevity flower in time. Generally, you can water the longevity flower when you see the leaves dry. Secondly, pay attention to pruning to ensure smooth air circulation around the plant, especially the leaves at the base. It is best to clean it up to avoid piled up on the stems and leaves after watering, affecting the growth of the longevity flower;

or above is the correct treatment for the growth of aerial roots in the longevity flower. So should we cut these aerial roots be cut? I personally recommend that you prune them all. On the one hand, these aerial roots are average ornamental and easy to breed pests. On the other hand, the nutrient rate of aerial roots is also low, and there is no need to retain them at all;

And at the end of September and early October, when maintaining aerial flower, it is best to put it in a sunny position. After autumn, the temperature is basically around 26℃, and the light intensity is not high. The sun is exposed all day long. You can completely let Changshouhua photosynthesis to speed up the growth of branches and leaves;

In order to ensure sufficient nutrients, spray water on the branches and leaves of Changshouhua in the morning and evening to increase moisture, and pay attention to opening the window to ventilate to avoid water vapor accumulation. If the leaves are wrinkled at night, water it in time, or dilute it in time to promote the differentiation of branches and leaves or buds, and it can naturally bloom quickly;

Summary: Changshouhua suddenly grows a "small tail", which is actually a "suffering signal". You must find out the cause and deal with it according to the symptoms. Never be careless.
