How much do you know about the harm of insufficient or excessive watering of potted flowers?

Potted flowers

Potted flowers grow in flowerpots for a long time.

Due to the limited basin soil, there is not much water.

It is often necessary to replenish water by watering throughout the growth process.

In order to ensure the normal growth and development of flowers.

Rational watering is the key to the success or failure of flower cultivation.

If the water supply is insufficient or too much watering, it will have an adverse effect on flowers.

Insufficient watering is not enough, on the other hand, too much watering is also harmful.

Er, to clarify this issue, the director needs to start with the physiological role of water in flowers and plants.

To put it simply, the role of water in the life process of flowers has the following aspects:

One

Water is the main component of plant cell protoplasm.

II.

Water participates in plant photosynthesis, respiration, synthesis, decomposition and other metabolic activities.

Three

All kinds of organic and inorganic nutrients needed for plant growth can be absorbed and utilized by flowers and plants and transported in the body only when they are dissolved in water.

Restaurant

Only when the cells contain enough water to maintain the tension of the cells, can the branches and leaves stand upright to facilitate the reception of sunlight and gas exchange.

Therefore, in order to make flowers grow and develop normally, the demand for water must be met, and reasonable watering is the key to the success or failure of flower cultivation.

Understand the evils of underwatering

Potted flowers are often underwatered, the leaves and petioles of the flowers will wrinkle and droop, and the plants will wilt.

If the potted flowers are in this state of insufficient water supply and leaf wilting for a long time, the older leaves at the bottom of the plant will gradually yellowing and dry, the new shoots will shrink, grow slowly, and the leaves will lose their bright green luster, which will eventually affect the flowering or flower quality.

Some flower-growing Taiwan lovers are afraid of overwatering. Every time they water the potted flowers, they will not be able to water thoroughly, resulting in a "waist cut-off water", that is, the amount of water watered is only wet to the surface basin soil, while the basin bottom soil is dry.

This watering method will also affect the normal growth and flowering of flowers.

Therefore, watering should be dry and wet, and watering should be thoroughly watered.

Understand the evils of overwatering

If the potted flowers are watered too much, the water fills the soil gap, and the soil air is replaced by water, resulting in lack of oxygen in the soil, the root tissue will be difficult to breathe, the metabolic function will be reduced, and the absorption of water and fertilizer will be hindered. Flowers will suffocate to death for a long time.

Scientific experiments show that if the oxygen content in the soil is less than 10%, it will inhibit the absorption of flower roots, and then affect the physiological function of the whole plant.

At the same time, due to the lack of oxygen in the soil, the normal activities of aerobic microorganisms such as nitrifying bacteria and ammonifying bacteria which have the function of decomposing organic matter in the soil are hindered, which can not effectively decompose the organic matter in the soil, thus affecting the supply of mineral nutrients.

Due to the lack of oxygen in the soil, butyric acid bacteria and other anaerobic microorganisms multiply and move in large numbers, resulting in a series of toxic substances that directly poison the roots and also cause root poisoning and death.

Watering potted flowers is a regular management work in the process of flower cultivation, which is not only common but also very important, which should attract the attention of flower growers.

Watering should grasp the principle of "dry and wet" in the basin soil, which can not only meet the water demand of flowers, but also maintain the oxygen content in the soil, so as to make the flowers grow and develop normally.

Well, that's all for this article. I don't know if what the director said is clear and detailed. For those Taiwanese who do not understand it, the director has written a hidden poem for you. It may not be well written, but it can help you find the director.

More wonderful articles are found in a Tibetan head poem:

The breeze caresses the flowers

Wander through Nanshanyang

Sou Qi Qiao Bronze Sparrow platform

Plant red plants on the green clouds

-- to challenge: four poems with hidden head and tail, the first word is connected with the last word, you can get the eight-character motto and summon the head of the stage to be real! Remember to say when you come: "Director, I have cracked your secret."
