Should the weeds in the potted plant be pulled out?

With different seasons, all kinds of weeds will grow in the potted plants. These weeds not only consume the limited nutrients in the potted soil, but also affect the ventilation and lighting of the potted plants, and also affect the overall viewing effect of the potted plants. Therefore,"weeding" has become an important and daily work in the process of bonsai conservation and management.

Everything is divided into two. The weeds in the potted plants also have their wonderful uses. We understand the beneficial aspects of potted plant weeds for potted plant maintenance, we can achieve "scientific weeding".

1

Pot grass is "psychrometer"

A few weeds should be left in the pot, which can more intuitively understand the dry and wet conditions of the soil and provide reference for our daily watering. Humid-loving potted plants, potted plants slightly Yan need watering; need to slightly dry or control water plants, potted plants Yan re-watering. And the vitality of weeds is generally more tenacious, see water can be revived.

2

Pot grass is "fertility meter"

The root system of general weed is more developed, and the fertility status of the pot soil is reflected more quickly,"grass is rich, grass is weak, fertilizer is deficient." However, we should also distinguish between different situations: for the trees in the green stage to promote their enlargement and thickening, it is necessary to fertilize frequently to ensure sufficient fertility; for the trees that have been formed and need to be controlled, it is necessary to fertilize less or not.

3

Pot grass is "loose meter"

Weed roots are more developed, weed removal can loosen the pot soil, improve the permeability of the pot soil. If weeds can be uprooted and can bring up the surrounding soil, it means that the pot soil is loose; if it is difficult to uproot, or only part of the leaves above the root can be uprooted, it means that the pot soil is hardened and needs to be replaced.

4

Reflect environmental growth conditions

Generally speaking, every weed has its own inherent growth characteristics. Once its inherent characteristics are changed, it can be said that "the environment is not suitable here", and it needs to improve conditions or change the conservation site. Therefore, we can observe the environmental growth conditions of weeds and provide reference for us to improve conditions or change conservation sites.

5

Potted grass can "protect water and soil"

The soil in the potted plant is limited, and the limited soil is easy to dry. Appropriately retain some small, low, beautiful pot grass, both can protect water moisture, but also can fix sand and protect soil, can play the role of bonsai moss.

Potted grass can prevent "root rot"

The rotten roots of potted plants are the same as the rotten roots of crops. It mainly occurs under the climatic conditions of high temperature, high humidity and continuous cloudy and sunny alternation in summer. Because the humidity of the underground part of the plant root is too high, the soil permeability is poor, and the plant root breathing is difficult; the topsoil is very hardened by heavy rain, and the cracks are filled with mud, so it is difficult for the air between the upper and lower parts of the ground to communicate; the intense sunlight makes the moisture in the wet soil on the ground quickly turn into steam rising upward, forming an ascending airflow, while the oxygen supply at the root exceeds the demand, so that the roots suffocate and die. A few weeds are properly reserved in the pot soil. When encountering the above-mentioned bad weather, choose the time of heavy rain and sudden sunshine, pull out 2-3 grass plants in different parts of the pot, which can greatly reduce the occurrence of root rot disease, and the efficiency is very high.

Improve the ornamental value of potted plants

Natural beauty is an important part of artistic beauty of potted landscape works. Some weeds are reserved intentionally in bonsai, and other elements such as rocks, pavilions, bridges, streams, mosses, and other auxiliary plants are arranged properly, which can greatly improve the natural flavor of bonsai works and make the artistic conception of works more realistic.
