Don’t worry about overwatering, use this trick!

Effects of Too Much Water

If too much water is applied, the water will soak into the soil, and the air in the soil will be expelled by the water. At the same time, it will also prevent the outside air from entering the soil again, which will lead to extreme lack of oxygen in the soil. The roots cannot get the oxygen they need, causing the plant growth to stop and the roots to be unable to absorb nutrients normally. The lack of oxygen in the soil will cause the bacteria that can decompose organic matter to reproduce faster and become active, and the acidity and alkalinity of the soil will become unbalanced. The activity of these bacteria can produce toxic substances that damage the rhizomes, causing various diseases to develop in the roots. At the same time, lack of oxygen in the plants will consume a large amount of soluble sugar inside the plants, produce alcohol substances, affect the normal growth of the plants, and over time will cause the plants to gradually wither and die.

Remedies

When you find that you have watered the plants too much, too much water accumulates in the pots and the leaves begin to shrivel. At this time, we can dig it out of the flowerpot and put it in a well-ventilated place so that the moisture will dissipate little by little. After a period of time, when the soil moisture is almost restored, move it back to the flowerpot. If there is continuous rain, move the flowers indoors and wait until the weather is clear and the sunlight is stronger. At this time, avoid sunburn of the plants. At the same time, water them appropriately to avoid excessive volatilization.
