Many flower lovers who have raised cycla keen , lege begonia and other flower lovers will find that using the soaking pot to replenish them will make them grow better, which can avoid wetting their flowers and leaves and keep their leaves dry.
Hot pot is to prepare a large pot of clean water. Put the potted plants in clean water. The water level does not necessarily cross the top of the pot. Slowly absorb water from the bottom until the soil absorbs full water.
Generally, replenishing the soil from the bottom of the flower pot can completely maintain the leaves in a relatively dry state, and can completely absorb full water, which is more thorough than watering from the top.
Soaking the pot is to use capillary action to allow the soil to slowly absorb moisture from the bottom of the flower pot, which can ensure that the soil is evenly moist and reduce the breeding of diseases such as leaf spot disease , but each soaking the pot takes a long time.
If the soil is not dry every time, soak the pot, it will cause the soil to continue to be moist and easily cause root rot.
Watering from the top of the flower pot into the soil may cause uneven watering and the soil does not absorb enough water at all, especially in some slab-clad soil or completely dry peat soil. Their water absorption capacity will become worse. When watering, water will flow away from the gaps, and the soil surface may be more moisturized. But most of the areas under the soil are relatively dry.
. Watering from the bottom of the flower pot is soaking pot. You can make the soil slowly moist from bottom to top, which will take a little more time.
Use the method of soaking pot to replenish water for plants, and you must learn to judge the dryness and wetness of the soil. The soil is constantly wet and cannot dry, which is easy to breed small black flying, and it is also easy to cause rot . When cutting plants with
, especially fine sand, perlite , vermiculite and other substrates, the substrate needs to be slightly moisturized, and it is generally maintained by soaking a pot.
watering from the bottom means preparing a shallower basin in advance, filling it with clean water, putting the potted plant in the basin, allowing the water to slowly seep into the soil from the bottom, and using anti-gravity techniques, relying on the soil to naturally absorb moisture, so that the entire soil mass is completely moist.
Potted plants with relatively small plants, or if the soil is completely dry, it is difficult to water thoroughly. For example, peat soil or soil that is prone to clumping, this method is suitable for watering.
4. Pay attention to the details when
. When soaking the pot, whether the water level should cross the top of the flower pot, it also depends on what kind of plant it is, and the environment at home and whether the ventilation and light transmission are good enough.
Pot plant is soaked in a water basin for 10 to 30 minutes, which can generally allow the soil to absorb water completely. Be sure to pay attention to the plants soaked in the water basin. Be sure to pick them up in time after about half an hour. If you don’t pick them up after soaking for a few hours, it may damage the roots of the plant.
5. Which plant is suitable for soaking pots?
There are many plants that are particularly suitable for using soaking pots to replenish moisture, including the common white palm , African violet , cyclagra and lege begonia, etc. The leaves of these plants cannot be moist often, and the leaves of these plants cannot be often wet, otherwise it will be prone to infection with lesions, including black spot disease , etc. Keeping the leaves dry for a long time will make them grow healthier.
6. Disadvantages of water spray
Some flower lovers like to use spraying when watering potted plants. They just spray the leaves or soil surfaces soak and feel that they have been watered, but the state of the plants still cannot be restored.
always spray water on plants. The leaves of plants cannot maintain a dry state for a long time. If the leaves often retain moisture, they are easily infected with fungal diseases. Don’t spray water on plants when the temperature is low, otherwise it will aggravate frostbite.
The soil below the surface of the pot soil is still relatively dry, the soil is not completely moist, the roots of the plants cannot absorb water, and the plants are still in a state of lack of water.
For example, potted plants raised outdoors, especially medium and large potted plants, when it is drought, if it only falls a small shower, it will only wet the soil surface.
Then we still have to continue watering the plants, because the soil is still relatively dry, which is why sometimes it rains lightly and the sun comes out again, so we still have to water the plants outdoors.
7. When the soil is completely dry, the pot is soaked
When the soil is particularly dry, gaps have formed around the pot and the soil, or the roots of the plant have already grown over the pot of the pot, and it is difficult to water thoroughly when watering. In this case, you can soak the potted plants in clean water for 5 to 30 minutes.
8, plant with vigorous leaves soaking pot
If the leaves of the potted plant grow particularly lushly, it is difficult to water it into the soil when watering, you can also use the soaking pot to replenish the water, including common plants such as African violet, reticle grass and white palm.
9. Preventing and treating Xiaoheifei
Use the method of soaking a pot to replenish moisture, which can also prevent and treat Xiaoheifei well. You can sprinkle a layer of dry fine sand on the surface of the soil, and water it from the bottom of the flower pot after the later replenishing moisture.
allows the soil to slowly absorb full water, and the soil surface is still relatively dry, so that Xiao Heifei can avoid laying eggs in the soil, and the insect eggs that already exist in the soil cannot crawl out normally. Xiao Heifei can be extinct from the root.
Use the method of soaking the pot to replenish the water. Remember to pick up the plants in time and drain the water. Do not soak them in the water all the time. Some flower lovers soak the potted plants all day or night, and it is very likely that the roots of the plants will be soaked.
It is also recommended to use rainwater to soak the plants in the clean water. If it is tap water, it is recommended to put it in a bucket and leave it for a day or two before use. If there is filtered water or distilled water, it is definitely better.
If you want to replenish the plants with a small amount of water-soluble fertilizer , you can also use the soak the pot to replenish it.
is to mix the fertilizer and stir evenly, then put the potted plants in the solution of mixed fertilizer, soak for 5 to 10 minutes, then pick it up and drain the water, so that the soil can absorb the fertilizer evenly, without any waste.
Tips:
There are some fungal diseases, including black spot disease, which is caused by water droplets (the bacteria remain in the soil). This is why most black spot diseases first infect the leaves at the bottom of the plant, and watering the plants by soaking the pot can reduce these bacteria.
