Insectivorous plants sell very well in hot summer, but if you want insectivorous plants to really do a good job of eating insects, scientific cultivation is very important. In the hot summer, how should insectivorous plants be watered to grow better?

insectivorous plant

The frequency of watering is mainly related to the airtightness of the environment, temperature, the size of the basin, the size of the plant, the mode of water supply and other factors. Regular watering is not suitable for the growth of plants. We should provide water according to the needs of plants, and "regular inspection and on-demand water supply" is more reasonable. Insectivorous plants like wet, like dry points, most pitcher plant basin soil needs to be dry, to be loose and breathable, can not be stagnant water; flycatcher, most species of thatched vegetables, beaver algae, such as like wet, basin soil should be more wet, can also soak the basin in shallow water plate; bottle grass and other requirements are not high, dry and wet.

The humidity of the basin soil is generally measured visually, when the basin soil is wet, the color is dark gray, very wet or stagnant water, there will be a little white water light; when the basin soil is dry, the color is gray and dull, and when the basin soil is dry, the color is gray.

When the basin soil is dry, we must carry out watering, and there are three methods of watering: sprinkling, watering and soaking.

Spraying, that is, spraying wet leaves and basin soil with spray bottles, is suitable for weekly plant leaf cleaning, pitcher plant leaf insertion and reproduction, etc., and can also provide daily water supply to most insectivorous plants (except slimy insectivorous plants such as thatched vegetables, pansy, etc., frequent spraying will wash away the mucus, so that the mucus-secreting glands die out, and "dewdrops" are difficult to form. )

Watering, that is, watering with a kettle, is suitable for pitcher plants, bottle grasses and other large insectivorous plants.

Soak, that is, put the water into the basin pad at the bottom of the basin and keep the basin soil moist by siphon. This is one of the most convenient watering methods, one watering can be maintained for a long time, especially suitable for wet insectivorous plants, but also the most suitable for succulent vegetables, pansy and other slime insectivorous plants. It can also be used for dry insectivorous plants by adjusting the formula of basin soil and putting more coarse particles into the matrix that drains and breathes air.

The main points of watering potted flowers in September

September is just over the dormancy period for some flowers, so if it is not raised well, it will easily cause the problem of autumn flowering. So how should potted flowers be watered in September to ensure their next growth?

Potted flowers

Watering some ornamental plants that like wetting, such as Chunlan, Jianlan, Magnolia, tortoise back bamboo, one-leaf orchid, camellia, tea plum, cherry, pearl orchid, pineapple, etc., can be put on the plank on the balcony pool or tank, or in the simple sand pool built by yourself, usually with spray water instead of watering. For potted foliage plants shelved indoors, they should also spray more water and less watering, so as to keep the pot soil loose and moist; especially in the air-conditioning room, spray water at least once or twice a day, otherwise even the five-needle pine bonsai, which is more drought-resistant, will lose water and die without watering or spraying for 5 to 7 days. Potted ornamental plants with strong resistance on the balcony can continue to be watered once a day and sprayed once or twice a day, or soaking pot method can be used to prevent the occurrence of wet and dry soil. Watering time should still avoid 2 to 3 hours before and after noon, pay attention to the difference between water temperature, soil temperature and air temperature, and add a small amount of light green ferrous sulfate to the irrigation water to avoid physiological yellowing.
