Soil alkalinity becomes acidic Gardenia jasmine no longer has yellow leaves and buds.

The soil in the north is mostly alkaline, which is used to raise jasmine and gardenia. yellow leaves and falling buds are common. Inexperienced flower friends still think that they are watered less, and the result is getting worse and worse. Today, Xiao Cui will teach you a trick. In this way, the soil "alkaline" becomes "acidic", and gardenia jasmine will no longer have yellow leaves and buds.

The method of changing soil "Alkalinity" into "acidity" skillfully (1)

1. Preparation materials: ordinary soil, withered leaves (pine needles, willow leaves or poplar leaves), flowerpots, ferrous sulfate

2. Production method: lay a layer of soil at the bottom of the basin, lay a layer of fallen leaves, add soil, and add fallen leaves, so that the layer can be repeated for 3 or 4 times. Finally, pour water thoroughly, add some ferrous sulfate, and seal it with an airtight plastic bag after compaction. After that, add some ferrous sulfate every other month or so, and seal the basin again. Generally speaking, the soil becomes acidic after 5 months.

All acid-loving flowers can be raised with this kind of soil and become more and more prosperous.

Edible vinegar at home can also change the pH of the soil. After mixing vinegar and water at 1:50, directly water the sour flowers. Once a month, this method can quickly change the alkalinity of the soil.

Many families use Amoy rice water to grow flowers. In fact, it is a misunderstanding to water the flowers directly. Amoy rice water is placed in a sealed container and placed on a balcony with light at room temperature for about 2 weeks. This process is used to spoil the rice panning water. After two weeks, the decaying rice-panning water and water watering the flowers at the rate of 1:20 can also slowly turn the alkaline soil into acid.

Whether the soil is qualified or not is a key factor in raising flowers. In addition to the soil, what else do gardenia and jasmine need to pay attention to in the process of breeding?

Key points of maintenance of Gardenia jasminoides

Temperature: gardenia does not like winter, as soon as the temperature drops, it begins to hibernate. Spring and autumn can be put in the outdoor sun, before flowering and throughout the growing period, thin fertilizer should be applied once every semimonthly. If yellow leaves are found, 0.1% ferrous sulfate can be used to sprinkle them in water and fertilizer. Late autumn moves indoors to the sunny place to overwinter.

Sunshine: gardenia both like light and can withstand shade, the leaf color is green in the shade, but the flowering is slightly worse. Summer should not be strong direct sunlight, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow. The light is not strong in spring and autumn, so you can put it outdoors to fully accept the sun.

Watering: make sure to water once a month, the time is not fixed, according to the home environment, dry environment, basin soil can be watered when dry. Remember not to wait until the soil is dry before watering. The plant is easy to die and difficult to recover.

Key points of maintenance of jasmine

1. Watering: Jasmine has shallow roots and developed fibrous roots, luxuriant branches and leaves, high temperature and evaporation in summer, and it is not resistant to drought, so the soil can not be too dry, but it should not be muddy. The principle of watering is to dry and wet, dry and thoroughly irrigate.

2. Lighting: Jasmine likes the sun very much and must not over-shade. Under the premise of ensuring moisture, full-day sunshine is the best. If the sun is sufficient, there are many leaves and flowers, while low-temperature shading means thin leaves, thin flowers and thin branches.

3. Fertilization: the flowering period of jasmine is long, and it needs more fertilizer, so the fertility of basin soil should be sufficient. More fertilizer should be applied during the peak growth period, twice a month.
