What if the leaves of the Admiralty hang upside down? learn four tricks to make the leaves glow with vitality.

Under ideal conditions, the leaves of the Admiralty hanging upside down should be green all the year round, but because of changes in the environment and different breeding methods, some flower lovers will encounter the wilting of the leaves, which will not only cause it not to blossom, but also indicate the problem of poor growth. what should we do when the leaves of the Admiralty bell wilt? The editor will tell you what to do.

What if the leaves of the golden bell droop upside down?

After research, it is found that the main reasons for wilting leaves are: too high temperature, lack of light, wind and rain, and too little fertilizer and water, so in order to solve the problem of wilting leaves of Admiralty, we need to start from these four aspects.

1. The temperature is too high

We know that hanging the golden bell upside down is afraid of the muggy environment, and it is very sensitive to temperature changes. When the temperature is slightly higher than 30 degrees, its leaves will wilt, and in serious cases, the leaves will wither and fall. So timely measures should be taken.

[countermeasures]: help hang the golden clock upside down to cool and ventilate. If you keep it outdoors, you need to shade it. If it is a potted plant, move it to a cool and ventilated place, such as a windowsill facing north at home, and spray a small amount of water on the leaves and soil at the same time.

2. Lack of light

Although the inverted Admiralty likes the semi-shaded environment, it also needs enough light for its growth. if the environment is too shady, it will hinder the photosynthesis of the leaves, resulting in a lack of nutrition and wilting of the leaves, and the whole plant looks listless.

[countermeasures]: the most suitable place to raise an inverted golden bell is where there is scattered light, such as a balcony where the sun is out of reach, which can not only avoid direct sunlight, but also provide enough light, if the conditions are limited, fluorescent lamps can be used to replenish light.

3. Wind and rain

Keeping the golden clock upside down needs to keep the environment ventilated, but it cannot always be attacked by strong winds, nor can it be washed away by Rain Water in the rainy season. Excessive humidity not only does not cause leaves to wilt, but also causes diseases and insect pests, which is very taboo.

[countermeasures]: what if the leaves of the golden bell droop upside down due to the wind and rain? The answer is to reduce its chances of being beaten by the wind and rain, which can protect it from the wind and rain, but the most appropriate way is to move it to another cool passing environment to avoid being beaten by Rain Water in the rainy season.

4. Too little fertilizer and water

Whether it is lack of water or fertilizer, it will lead to malnutrition of the Admiralty, so it is inevitable that the leaves wilt and grow slowly, so when maintaining the Admiralty upside down, we must apply fertilizer scientifically and rationally, not lack of fertilizer and water for a long time.

[countermeasures]: timely supplement of fertilizer and water, the method can refer to the detailed introduction of how to water and fertilize the Admiralty upside down, the principle is to ensure smooth growth while avoiding the phenomenon of rotting roots caused by too much fertilizer and water.

Planting flowers on the balcony-early spring

Finally waiting for the spring to blossom, I plucked up the courage to clean up the mess on the balcony all winter.

Because they only return to their homes in Changzhou on weekends, most of the meat, geraniums, iron chopsticks and triangular plums have moved to companies in Shanghai, and the flowers and plants on the balcony have been reduced to more than 20 pots that are easy to care for.

Triangular plum left a green leaf safflower, the most common variety, in case of OVER is not a pity. It has been tenaciously surviving, watching the weather warm up and trying to move it to the outside of the balcony. As a result, the plastic flowerpot was broken as soon as it was carried out, and the heart hung when it fell. Fortunately, the broken flowerpot did not have time to be scared. The broken flowerpot fell steadily on the platform outside the railing. I should have changed it a long time ago and was lazy all the time, so I had to replant it.

There happened to be a large red pottery flowerpot that was originally planted with a tequila. I bought it from the Sansheng Township Flower Market in Chengdu two years ago, but it was still a very small seedling. Baba took it home by plane. It grew rapidly and soon grew into a big one. Before the abnormal cold came this winter, I specially moved back to the balcony, and the windows were all closed. However, the cold-afraid triangle plum survived, and the dry golden lotus remained green, but this guy was frozen out somehow. When I came home from Shanghai a year ago, I saw that its leaves had frozen into water and its core was still a little green. With the principle of not giving up any hope, I kept it and looked forward to the moment when it came back to life. However, it is not grateful, continue to rot hopelessly, or fate to it. Finally poured it out today, a basin full of originally strong root system, really distressed.

The former Thor.

The fire sacrifice is fine. It was full of flowers in early winter, but it is still a big pot.

There are only a few bulbs, grape hyacinth and hyacinth left on the balcony. The grape hyacinth will reflower every year, especially the blue varieties. In autumn, before it can be planted, it can't wait to sprout. The sun is good on the balcony. Although there are thousands of shade and roots, the leaves are strung out. A large tub like leek. When I moved out of the window today, I saw several buds popping up. Bicolor and pink varieties are somewhat delicate, but fortunately, they are all sprouting smoothly.

Last spring's grape hyacinth, pink primrose, wait until spring to buy.

One of the hyacinths has already blossomed, which was DIY last November when the parents of Ryan's class were taking their parents to a parent-child gardening activity. A small basin almost as big as a ball was planted. Or the "green finger" relationship? Must show off, almost no management, before and after watering no more than 5 times, also did not specifically bask in the sun, but is a large cluster of flower branches, blue-purple, the shape is particularly correct. Posted in the class group, there are also parents posted photos, only a few flowers. In fact, it is best to bury hyacinths in such a small flowerpot, so that some roots can grow in the small pot, otherwise, like the parent, the whole ball is buried in the flowerpot, there is no place to grow roots, the bulb can not absorb nutrients, naturally can not bloom.

Pictures of hyacinths sent by parents.

What is particularly luxuriant on the balcony are the pots of golden lotus, or the two pots originally brought from the courtyard in Shanghai. The seeds are collected every year, and they are sown in autumn, and there are a lot of orange flowers blooming in early spring every year. The dry lotus is more suitable for balcony planting and is very drought-resistant. Every time, I go home and water it on weekends. In fact, a proper drought is more conducive to its flowering, moist and adequate fertilizer conditions, it likes green leaves, might as well be used to make a salad, very fresh and special taste, some spicy, not everyone likes.

Don't mention sorrel, the plant that grows flowers on the balcony. Most of the varieties were brought to Shanghai, and there were tall poles, jute seeds and Brazilian pink and white on the balcony. I collected a lot of balls in June and specially brought a lot of peat home in September. As a result, the flowerpots were still not enough, so many trees had to be squeezed together. Some small balls were scattered in the flowerpots of triangular plum and ivy, and all sprouted. Sorrel relatively does not take up space, and can bloom a lot of flowers, the hottest summer after the ball, just find a shady place to put it, usually do not need more care, no fertilizer does not matter. I remember doing an activity for my grandparents in Shanghai Xingbao elderly apartment in October. I don't know what kind of sorrel they planted.

Sorrel "high pole", the ball stayed in the basin of Tianmen winter, grew a big pile, hanging down, but also good-looking.

Take advantage of the rare enthusiasm brought by the warm spring breeze, fertilize the pansy, move out of the window, and will soon be full of flowers. Baby-like Phnom Penh pink June snow, has been raised on the flower rack outside the Shanghai office, too busy, neglected to take care of, very miserable appearance, last week also brought back to the balcony, along with fertilizer. Expect it to recover as soon as possible.

The snow in June and its present state

There are only a few pots of other plants on the balcony, such as orchids, ivy and rainbow iron, which have changed little; of course, there are a few pots of inverted golden bells, crab claw orchids and cyclamen, which may be dangerous in summer. Unexpectedly, there is a pot of aloe, but it has not been frozen, once again distressed under the pot of tequila. There are two pots of Tianmen winter, which are almost dried to death in summer, but the fleshy root system is tenacious, a little water is poured, and new buds emerge immediately. Still like such tenacious plants, let people feel that life is endless, even if the difficult environment, always waiting for the opportunity to coruscate a new life.

Move the Cornelius, Portuguese style and so on out of the window. It is said that the temperature will drop to zero tomorrow. Let them carry it.

Planting flowers on the balcony is really more troublesome than growing flowers in the courtyard, and the daily watering, fertilization, maintenance, and pruning are secondary, mainly because of the lighting and ventilation problems on the balcony, plants often die, leaving a basin full of empty soil. It's a blow to enthusiasm. During the change of season, we need to tidy up and change pots. The place is too small to turn around, and we can't do it for a few times. The ground is covered with fallen peat leaves, and it takes more time to clean up than to plant. I can understand the difficulties of promoting balcony gardening. Like me, a veteran florist, I still find it troublesome to grow flowers on the balcony, so for most balcony people who have just started to grow flowers, they need more enthusiasm to persist.
