During the pot period, the plant detected root damage and could not rely on the root system to extract energy from the soil.

So it begins to consume the energy (water and nutrients) of an old leaf at the bottom to convert it into new roots in order to rebuild the circulatory system.

Because the bottom of the old leaves, first, can not participate in photosynthesis, second, closer to the soil surface, but also can protect the new leaves after drying, and third, gradually aging, the growth point no longer has the ability to reproduce, so priority is eliminated.

Usually, the basin needs to consume 1-3 bottom leaves, and it will drop, dry and turn green during the basin period.

So, mail-order meat, or root-trimmed meat, can be watered a week later after potting on dry soil, and you can't help it!

But for those who move pots in their own home, the roots are not trimmed and the roots are developed, and there are no diseases and insect pests. The meat at the end of the pot is just a big basin. This situation can be watered immediately. This is called root water, because the root system is developed and is still in operation. A Wang of clear water can fit the soil to the root system, adjust the space, and so on.

In fact, the so-called state is the increase in carotene caused by the sun, so showing a red, red, yellow and yellow color, carotene is used to protect against the sun and cold, and does not promote growth. (think about the reason why the leaves turn red in autumn.)

During the growing period, the green one is usually chlorophyll, which is caused by the lack of light, which is in urgent need of photosynthesis, so when it is green, it is also the time when the plant grows crazily, and it usually tries to grow tall, in order to get closer to the light source. Desperately grow leaves, in order to absorb more light.

In this way, if the application of green is timing, it is actually very helpful for rapid growth. Indoor culture should be carried out at the pot stage and seedling stage, with ordinary light, during which rooting and development is the most important task.

When the root system is ready, it is not too late to take it out to bask in the sun. As long as you see ultraviolet rays for a few days, coupled with the large temperature difference between day and night outside, the leaves will slowly wrap up and become shorter and discolored, that is, the so-called state.

In fact, the state must be carried out in a healthy adult, blindly pursue the state is also unhealthy, such as summer, all plants are the same, it should be green.

Therefore, the purpose of potting dry soil during the pot period is to make the plant repair system work, and the water in wet soil is basically not absorbed by the roots at this time, but is easy to produce rot bacteria.

Therefore, if you want to take root, you must wait for the plant to confirm that the root system has been damaged (root trimming), and that the new environment is stable (not shaking) and suitable for regeneration (dry soil), that is, you can't always shake and disturb the plant.

In addition, when you see the dry old leaves, don't pull them off unless you touch them. In fact, even if the old leaves shrink to the shape of a mummy, there will still be a little bit of nutrients to be absorbed, and the body will not waste any resources.

Moreover, the dried old leaves themselves have a protective effect, unless they are picked up in the flowerpot (they will not be turned into fertilizer), and generally do not care about them artificially, so as to show a shocking effect of the coexistence of new life and aging.

Root pruning is a way to stimulate the start of the circulatory system, and drying roots after root pruning actually marks the beginning of the plant's activated system, automatically sealing the damaged wound and then growing new roots.

Grow meat slowly, do not rush for success, understand the growth principle of the body, there will be no difference between beauty and ugliness, and will not try to cover up ugliness in pursuit of beauty, as long as they live well.

(the picture below is the blue bean in the pot period. At that time, I didn't understand the truth of not watering, so it was endangered.)
