1. Reason: Lack of fertilizer

Green radish likes fertilizer. If there is a lack of fertilizer, the plant will grow slowly, nutrients cannot be supplied for growth, and the leaves will become smaller and smaller.

Solution:

1. The fertilizer for green radish is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, supplemented by potassium fertilizer. Before the peak growth period of the green radish in spring, apply 0.3% urea solution every 10 days, and you can use 0.5‰-1‰ urea solution as foliar fertilizer and spray it on the leaves of the green radish.

2. The plant grows slowly in autumn and winter, and liquid inorganic fertilizers are mainly used, which should be used about once every 15 days. After winter, foliar spraying is mainly used, and fertilizer is applied through the stomata of the green radish, using special foliar fertilizers.

2. Reason: Overwatering

The roots of the green radish are fleshy, so a small amount of water shortage will not cause any problem. However, if there is too much water accumulation, it will easily lead to root rot, which will in turn affect the leaves.

Solution:

1. If it is grown outdoors, water it once every 1-2 days. In other seasons, wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering. When there is plenty of sunlight outdoors, you can spray water on the leaves several times.

2. If you are growing it indoors, you need to wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering it. After growing it for a period of time, take it outdoors and water it thoroughly, then put it back in the room after a few days.

2. Reason: Improper fertilization

If you give ivy too little fertilizer, it will easily lead to nutrient deficiency and the leaves will become smaller and smaller.

Solution:

1. Ivy has high requirements for potting soil, which is generally made of leaf mold, river sand and a small amount of bone meal mixed in a ratio of 4:1:1.

2. Ivy likes fertilizer, usually mainly nitrogen fertilizer. Apply thin cake fertilizer water about once every 2-3 weeks during the growing season, with a ratio of 1:50. Be sure to apply thin fertilizer frequently. For the colorful leaf varieties, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied to prevent the color of the patterns from fading.

3. You can use foliar fertilizer and spray it on the leaves at a ratio of 1:50.
