Ways to reduce root rot of potted flowers: skillful use of pine cones, fruit shells and sawdust
The crisp autumn weather is not only suitable for growing flowers and planting, but also suitable for picking and changing pots! In order to promote the rapid growth of roots, many senior florists will pad something to the bottom of the pot, which is also a good way to prevent potted flowers from rotting roots.
Pine cone
For rural flower lovers, pine cones are a common thing. Every year in autumn, the pine tree will bear a lot of pine cones, a gust of wind, pine cones scattered all over the ground. From the outside, the pine cone is unusually hard, and if you put it on the bottom of the basin, it will give the green plant roots enough space to absorb oxygen.
How to use it:
1. Soak the picked pine cones in carbendazim solution for disinfection to prevent the pine cones from carrying pollution sources and infringing upon the new basin soil.
2. When replacing the green plant with a new basin, put a little pineal on the bottom of the basin, which can improve the water permeability and air permeability of the basin soil, so that the green plant root system is not easy to black rot.
Sawdust
As we all know, the water and air permeability of sawdust is very good. If the home is equipped with remaining sawdust, it can be collected for pot cultivation. Generally speaking, solid wood sawdust is the best cushion material, and synthetic board sawdust usually contains a lot of glue, so it is best not to use synthetic sawdust cushion basin!
How to use it:
1. Boil the sawdust in a pot for 30 minutes, then salvage it to dry.
2. The sawdust after drying has very good water permeability, so if it is cushioned in the basin, the possibility of rotten roots of green plants can be reduced.
Fruit shell
It is worth mentioning that the fruit shell is a very good single product of the basin. For foodies, peanuts, walnuts, melon seeds and other practical information are necessary snacks at home. Collecting all kinds of fruit shell cushion basin can not only enhance the air permeability of basin soil, but also prevent green plants from appearing yellow leaves, black rot and so on.
How to use it:
1. When changing the basin for the green plant, you might as well pad all kinds of fruit shells at the bottom of the basin to enhance the water permeability of the basin soil.
2. If you don't want to cover the basin with the fruit shell, you might as well smash the fruit shell and spread it on the basin surface, which can also enhance the water permeability and air permeability of the basin soil.
Prevention and treatment of rotting Root of potted Flowers
1. Watering should be moderate and not too frequent, which is a common mistake made by many beginners who grow flowers. The principle of seeing dry and wet should be grasped. This should be paid more attention to during the dormant period of the plant and in the early stage of basin change.
2. All kinds of organic matter mixed in the cultivated soil, such as rotten leaf soil, ring manure, sawdust, farm manure, barnyard manure, organic waste, etc., must be fully fermented for a long time before they can be used, do not use raw fertilizer, otherwise, when the raw fertilizer is fermented, the temperature is too high, it will cause the root system to burn.
3. When topdressing potted plants, the dosage and concentration must not be too large, and the principle of "a small number of times" should be followed as far as possible. If the dosage is too large, it will burn the roots.
4. It is necessary to ensure that the basin soil permeates well. When potted flowers are watered, water accumulates on the surface of the basin soil, which is not easy to seep for a long time. There are several reasons for this situation:
(1) the new basin soil is clayey soil and does not contain organic matter or fine sand, so it is difficult to permeate water.
(2) the tiles on the bottom hole of the flowerpot block the hole, or the gravel layer of the basin bottom cushion is too thin, or the unpadded macadam leachate layer, so that water seepage is not smooth.
(3) the potted flowers have not changed pots for many years, and the roots are covered with clumps in the pots, so that it is difficult for the water to seep.
Therefore, organic humus, river sand, slag, soot and other components should be added appropriately to ensure that the matrix has good aeration and water permeability. Or change the basin again, cut off too many fibrous roots, otherwise it will cause leaves yellow and fall off, stagnant water rotten roots and die.
Treatment of rotting Root of potted Flowers
Treatment of rotting Root of potted Flowers
Potted flowers, such as excessive watering, often cause rotten roots, so watering flowers in winter should be appropriate, generally not watering every day, depending on the dry and wet condition of the basin soil, usually watering once every 4-5 days.
If the potted flower has rotten root, it should be treated immediately. If the rotten root is lighter, its growth is slow or stops growing. If the leaves are wilted and lighter, stop watering immediately, move the place of air circulation, raise the basin pad, loosen the topsoil to make it wet, or remove part of the basin soil and replace it with new soil to facilitate moisture absorption. In the future, only spray water to the leaf surface, wait for the basin soil to dry and then water and moist, let it slowly recover. If the leaf wilts seriously and the base of the trunk has blackened, you can first cut off part of the branches and leaves, then remove part of the basin soil, scrape off the black rot part, coat the wound with plant ash or sulfur powder, and then culture it to the upper part of the wound with new soil, and then change the basin after it takes root.
