What if we find that flowers and plants grow in vain?

Plants are different from animals. Animals can find food when they are hungry and sleep in their nests when they are sleepy, but flowers and plants are different. Flowers and plants raised at home completely rely on flower friends to water and fertilize them, but it is not enough to do so, because flowers and plants are easy to grow during their growth, and the main reasons for this phenomenon are as follows.

I. what is meant by the overgrowth of flowers and plants

The so-called flower plant overgrowth phenomenon means that the branches of flower plants grow too fast, become thin and long, as weak as aquatic bean sprouts, and the branches are prone to lodging. If you look closely at the overgrown branches and stems, you will find that the branches and stems of such flowers and plants become lighter in the exposed part of the soil, and it is difficult for such branches to support the whole plant. There are many reasons for this phenomenon.

Second, the reasons for the excessive growth of flowers and plants

First of all, the lack of light, ultraviolet light in the sun has the effect of inhibiting auxin, which is directly proportional to the light intensity and time. The greater the light intensity and the longer the time, the greater the inhibitory effect of auxin. Therefore, flowers and plants are prone to overgrowth in the rainy and hot season.

Thirdly, the growth of flower plants with too much water and fertilizer is inseparable from water and fertilizer, but too much fertilizer and water (especially nitrogen fertilizer) will cause plant excess nutrition and weakening root vitality, if the temperature is higher and the light is weak at this time, then the phenomenon of overgrowth of flowers and plants is inevitable.

In addition, in the flower and seedling stage, if the density of flowers and seedlings is high and the seedlings block each other, in order to strive for more light and space, the flowers and seedlings will strive to grow upward, so that the seedlings will grow too. And the only way to avoid this kind of thing is to remove the redundant seedlings and leave the sturdy ones within the appropriate distance between the seedlings.

There is another phenomenon that can also lead to overgrowth, that is, the phototaxis of plants. This problem is easy to be overlooked. For example, the editor has a pot of scarlet in his home, which has been placed on the north-facing windowsill. In order to see the flowers as soon as possible, the light has been increased and moved to the south-facing windowsill. There is only strong scattered light under the windowsill, and there is direct light on the windowsill, perhaps in order to strive for more light. Zhu Dinghong unexpectedly sprang out slender leaves in a short time, and by the time it was found, the thin branches were already very weak. From this, we can see that the response of plants to light is very positive, and inappropriate light conditions will have a very bad effect on flowers and plants.

Third, what if flowers and plants grow in vain?

First of all, it is necessary to "tip" the plant, that is, to "pick the heart". The main purpose is to control the height of the plant and prevent the growth of the lateral buds from being too high at the top of the main branch. it is also a means to shape fullness or to improve plant yield.

Secondly, to increase the lighting time, it is best to put it outdoors for all-day lighting and ventilation, not in the house, in the corner of the balcony. Because the ultraviolet rays in the sun have the effect of inhibiting auxin, which is conducive to the sturdiness of seedlings.

Finally, it is necessary to control watering and stop fertilization, which can basically restore the situation of futile growth. if the effect is not good, you can also use drugs, such as dwarf elements sold in the flower market, and timely spraying can also play a certain auxiliary role.

The luxuriant branches and leaves of flowers and plants can only show that they are nutritious, but it does not mean that such growth is good for flowers and plants. Therefore, when you encounter flowers and plants growing, you must not be reluctant to cut off the twigs and leaves. If you give up, you will get something. In fact, the reason is that simple.
