What if the potted plant withered?

For those who like potted flowers and plants, it is very sad to encounter potted plants withering. So, when their own potted green plants wither, does it mean that they are going to die? In fact, not exactly, maybe death will occur in serious cases, but as long as the degree is not deep enough, it is generally impossible to endanger his life. As long as we can take the right measures in time, it is still possible to bring it back to life.

The performance and inducement of wilting of potted flowers and plants are very many. By collecting and collating data, the editor summarizes several main situations for you to show, hoping to bring some inspiration or help to everyone in potted flowers and plants.

First, too much watering

For many potted flowers and plants, if excessive watering causes stagnant water in the basin, it will seriously affect their free respiration and absorption of nutrients, and then make the plants wilt, which may be fatal in serious cases. Therefore, as long as we judge that it is caused by too much watering, then we should take scientific and effective measures in time.

If the stagnant water is not very serious, we usually only need to lift the basin soil, and then improve the ventilation conditions to speed up the evaporation of excess water; if the stagnant water is serious, then we need to pour out the excess water first, and then dig out part of the wet basin soil and fill it with relatively dry basin soil. If necessary, it is recommended to re-plant in the new pot.

Second, frequent water shortage

Frequent lack of water is one of the most common causes of wilting or drying up of potted flowers and plants, even for friends who don't know much about potted plants. If this phenomenon is caused by frequent lack of water, the performance of the plant is usually wilting from top to bottom, and the branches of the plant will also appear wrinkles, or even dry up to death.

Under such circumstances, we should replenish it with water in time, but we should not irrigate it heavily, otherwise the plant will die more seriously because of irritation. Instead, a small amount of water should be taken first, and it can be watered gradually by spraying water first. It should be noted that large amounts of water should not be watered in environments where the temperature is too high or too low.

III. Excessive fertilization

Sometimes, in order to make the plant grow faster and better, we need to replenish it at the right time. The most direct way to supplement nutrients is fertilization, but it is not known that excessive fertilization may also lead to plant drying and even death. If the fertilization is too much, or the concentration of fertilizer is too high, the root system of the plant will not be able to bear the strong fertility and burn the root system, resulting in the plant drying up to death.

Once it is found that the fertilization is too much or the concentration is too high, we should dilute or eliminate it with clean water in time. The recommended practice is to first clean up the basin soil on the surface, and then irrigate it with heavy water to remove it from the bottom of the basin. Then cover it with a layer of clean soil, shade it properly, and often spray foliar water. It is believed that the plant will return to normal growth soon.

Fourth, hot and cold discomfort

Each plant has its own temperature range suitable for growth. If the environment is too hot or too cold, it may cause poor growth of the plant. If the plant is placed in the hot summer sun, the plant will be unable to withstand the scorching sun and there will be a phenomenon of self-protection, that is, wilting and curling, if the conditions are not improved, it may be dried to death. Therefore, the potted plants should be moved to a moist, shaded, cool and ventilated environment for maintenance in time.

Of course, it will not work if the temperature is too low, if the temperature is lower than the zero temperature of the plant, the plant will wither because of frostbite, so if the temperature is too low, warm and cold protection measures should be taken in time. Therefore, experienced potted friends will take into account timely measures such as shading, wind shelter and water spraying for potted plants.

5. Diseases and insect pests

Beautiful and practical flowers and plants are loved by people, but they are also favored by diseases and insect pests. Therefore, once the potted flower plant is infected with diseases and insect pests, it will destroy the trunk or transport tissue of the plant, resulting in local branches and leaves withered and withered. And sometimes these diseases and insect pests are fatal, and usually the infected areas need to be cut off and thoroughly disposed of.

For those precious flowers and trees that are difficult to recover, if we cannot eradicate them by medicine and other means, for the sake of safety, we suggest cutting healthy branches as cuttings to let them breed more robust young plants.
