How to water and fertilize the four seasons begonia

Four seasons crabapple watering should master between dry and wet. When there is a dry grain on the surface of the basin soil, or when the color of the leaf edge turns light, it is a symbol of the need for water and should be watered in time. After dividing the seedlings or pots for one month, you can sprinkle water. After the large plant is dried in between, it is watered thoroughly. It should be watered less in winter, usually once every 2-3 days. In the hot summer season, the plant is dormant, it is necessary to control the amount of watering, too much watering, root rot. The reason is that there is more water in the soil, less air and lack of oxygen, which affects the normal respiration of the root system. The physiological function of the plant was weakened, which reduced the pit of the root system, and the aerobic bacteria in the soil wantonly moved, producing a large amount of harmful gas, which caused the root system to rot. Cover the plant with plastic film in winter, increase the local air humidity, and have the effect of preventing cold.

In addition to the fertile soil, the four seasons crabapple should also be often combined with watering to apply topdressing, especially in the peak season of spring and autumn growth and flowering, and after picking the heart, it is necessary to apply liquid fertilizer with cruller, human feces and urine, hoof slices and ferrous sulfate every day. During the growing period of four seasons crabapple, pay attention to fertilizer and water management, apply light fertilizer and water once a week, watering should be sufficient, keep the soil moist, reduce the amount of water properly in winter, keep the leaf surface dry, and the soil is too wet to cause leaf rot.

Four Seasons Begonia leaves curl, shedding, light leaf color how to do?

(1) overwatering: too much watering usually makes the basin soil too wet for a long time, hindering root respiration, resulting in rotten roots, weakening plant growth, yellowing and white leaves and losing luster. The injured can move the flowerpot to a cool place and control watering. After a period of maintenance, the leaf color may change from yellow to green and return to normal. For serious victims, in addition to moving the flowerpot to a warm, humid and semi-shady environment, the upper part of the plant needs to be cut off to promote the re-emergence of new branches from the base. The four-season begonia is in a slow growth or semi-dormant state in summer high temperature season. At this time, the basin soil should be dry, otherwise it is easy to cause leaf shedding, stem withering, and even root or base rot, resulting in plant death. However, the basin soil should not be too dry, which will cause the leaves to wilt or scorch, and watering should be dry and wet.

(2) Sunburn: in the hot summer, the four seasons begonia is exposed to direct sunlight, causing the leaves to curl and the edges scorched. Rescue method: immediately move the flowerpot to an indoor ventilated and cool place. However, if the environment is too shaded and too lack of light, the plant will grow weak, with slender stems, light flowers and white leaves. Therefore, it is most appropriate to keep it in a place with bright scattered light in summer.

(3) lack of nutrients: if the potted soil lacks nutrients, the supply of plant nutrients is difficult, and abnormal phenomena such as lighter leaf color and thinner texture will occur. During the period of plant growth, fully mature thin liquid fertilizer or compound chemical fertilizer should be properly applied to make the leaves green and shiny.
