Dying begonias, Christmas cacti, camellias... hurry up and save them like this

Rieger Begonia

Begonia likes a warm and humid growing environment, but sometimes you may find that the flowers are still blooming but the leaves are wilting. This is usually caused by insufficient humidity or overwatering.

Step 1

Begonia likes humidity, so the chance of leaf rot is very high during cultivation.

If the situation is not very serious, you can directly pick off the leaves and spray them with carbendazim or streptomycin for preservation.

Step 2

If the rot is severe, you can cut the begonia into a bald head and keep the healthy part. Be sure to keep a few leaves. Generally, it will sprout again after 20 days.

Step 3

In addition, another method is to re-cutting. Select healthy branches and insert them into the soil. Be sure to keep it moist. Generally, roots will take root in 10 days.

Step 4

When watering Begonia, you can add some rice vinegar or ferrous acid solution. If you use tap water, leave it for a day before watering the flowers.

Peace tree

When cultivating the peace lily, its leaves may turn yellow and fall off due to poor ventilation, excessive watering, iron deficiency of the plant, etc. However, as long as the right medicine is used, it will definitely be saved!

Step 1

If you water the peace lily too much, the new leaves will turn yellow and the leaves will fall off. At this time, you need to place the peace thyme tree in a cool and ventilated place, and then poke a few holes in the soil to allow the moisture to evaporate.

Step 2

Another situation is leaf drop due to iron deficiency. At this time, you can directly dilute the ferrous sulfate and irrigate the roots.

Step 3

Excessive fertilization can also cause the peace lily to drop leaves. At this time, you need to change the pot quickly, take the plant out of the pot, clean the rotten roots, and then replant it.

Step 4

Also, beheading is possible. Cut off all the leaves of the peace lily, leaving only the branches and trunks, and let them sprout again.

Schlumbergera

During the cultivation process of Christmas cactus, root rot, wilting and softening of stems are prone to occur. Although it is very serious, it can still be rescued!

Rescue measures

1. Cut the branches for cuttings. Just cut them directly with a small blade. Note that they should be one-year-old strong branches with nodes.

2. Prepare the soil by mixing pine needle soil, perlite, vermiculite, etc. and spraying it with water.

3. Apply rooting powder to the rooting area of ​​the branches to be cut to promote rooting.

4. Insert the prepared branches into the soil, and be careful not to break the skin of the Christmas cactus. When inserting the branches, pay attention to keep a good distance.

camellia

Camellias are actually very susceptible to heat. If not properly cared for, they are prone to root rot, yellowing and falling leaves, and may even fail to bloom.

Branch cuttings

1. Camellia can be rescued by cuttings. The soil for cuttings should preferably be loose, breathable, acidic soil. You can use 80% perlite + 20% coarse sand, or pure vermiculite as the soil.

2. For cuttings, you can choose semi-lignified branches grown in the current year. Remove the leaves at the bottom and only keep the top two leaves and one bud healthy. The branches need to be soaked in carbendazim for a while and dried before use.

3. Insert the base of the branch into the soil, then spray the soil with water, cover it with a plastic bag or glass, and pay attention to moisture retention and ventilation.
