The leaves of the latest potted plants are yellowing and wilting, or caused by improper watering

Potted friends who like to plant flowers and plants at home have often encountered this situation, that is, flowers and plants are more likely to have yellow and wilting leaves. This is impossible for us to accept for ornamental potted plants, because yellow leaves and wilting will greatly reduce the ornamental value of potted plants.

For many potted friends, they usually only water potted plants when they are short of water, so why do they have bad symptoms such as yellowing and wilting of leaves? In fact, potted plants have yellowing and wilting leaves, or caused by improper watering methods.

Because each kind of flower and plant often has its own growth habits, especially the demand for water is different. If you water too little, so that the plant is often affected by drought, or too much watering, so that the root system of the plant can not breathe, green plants may have yellow leaves and wilting and so on. So, how to water potted plants scientifically?

First of all, we need to grasp the opportunity to water potted plants. In general, when we see that the potted soil has dried up and the leaves of the plant show a slight sign of wilting, it means that we can water it at this time. Or we can also hold the potted plant in our hands and compare it with before and after watering, or we can easily judge whether it needs to be watered in time.

If we find that the weight of the potted plant is much lighter than when it was just watered, it shows that the water in the potted soil is very scarce and needs to be replenished in time; if we weigh it and feel heavy, then it usually means that there is still a lot of water in the potted soil and there is no need to water it. We can also use a chopstick or a dry stick to insert it into the basin to see if there is any moisture on the stick to determine whether it needs watering.

It can be seen that there are many ways to judge whether potted plants are short of water and whether it is necessary to water them. Moreover, if one aspect is still not correct, we can combine a variety of methods to make a judgment, which is correct. The watering time when the temperature is higher in spring, summer and autumn is generally suitable to be carried out in the early morning or evening when the temperature is low, and in winter when the temperature is high at noon on a sunny day.

But in addition to the timing of watering, the method of watering is also very important. If the method is improper, it is also easy to cause the phenomenon of yellowing and wilting of plant leaves. First of all, we need to choose a reasonable source of water, and many basin friends directly use tap water for convenience and convenience. If tap water is used, it must be released in advance to dry for a few days, so that the chlorine in the water can be fully volatilized.

It is generally recommended that people use clean water such as river water and Rain Water to water it. And when watering, do not use heavy water to irrigate, so it is not easy to pour through the basin soil, and it is easy to pour half of the water. Because we generally need to master the principle of watering flowers and plants thoroughly if they are not dry or dry. Pouring heavy water is not only not easy to pour through, but also easy to cause local stagnant water and cause rotten roots.

But flowers and plants need sufficient water and nutrients to grow vigorously. If you do not want to apply fertilizer, it is recommended to use rice washing water and vegetable washing water in the kitchen to water flowers, which can not only replenish water for plants, but also replenish nutrients. But the premise is that it must be fermented and matured, and then diluted with water in an appropriate proportion before it can be used to water flowers.
