If your flowers and plants have these problems, treat them immediately, otherwise you will regret it!

Leaf spots

(Author: Nong Botong Source: I can plant)

Reason 1

Lack of water: If the spots and patches on the leaves are brown and have wrinkled edges, it is likely caused by lack of water.

Treatment

On a clear, warm morning, water the plants and flowers, working your way along the pot until water seeps out of the holes in the bottom of the pot.

For indoor plants that prefer semi-shade, such as green radish, ivy, and asparagus fern, you can sprinkle water around the leaves and pots to keep them moist. Be careful not to sprinkle water on the leaves of succulents, as this may easily cause rot.

Reason 2

Burns: When watering flowers, water splashes onto the leaves. Then when exposed to the sun, the leaves are burned by the focusing effect of the water droplets. (Author: a280810 Source: Tahuaxing Forum)

Treatment

Move the plant to a ventilated and shaded location and cut off the spotted leaves.

Reason 3

Disease: Leaf spot disease has gray-brown spots that are softened and initially appear as small water-soaked spots that gradually spread to become oval and irregular in shape.

Treatment

1. If flowers and plants are infected with leaf spot disease, the remaining leaves will become pathogens. They must be cut off and cleaned to avoid infection of healthy leaves.

2. You can spray 1000 times diluted 70% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder or 800 times diluted 70% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder to eliminate pests, spray on the leaves once every 7 or 8 days.

Bud Drop

Reason 1

Improper watering: Pay special attention to the moisture of flowers and plants before and after the flowering period. If you water too little, the flowers will not be able to get enough water, which will cause the buds to fall off; if you water too much, the soil will become too sticky and the roots will not be able to breathe or get enough nutrients, which will also cause the buds to fall off.

Treatment

1. Before watering, touch the soil first. It is best to insert half a finger joint to feel the moisture of the soil and determine whether watering is needed.

Whenever watering, make sure to water thoroughly and stop only when you see water flowing out of the holes.

2. Newly bought New Year flowers such as azalea and camellia were previously grown in a humid and warm greenhouse. If you suddenly bring them home, the environment will change suddenly and their buds may fall off. At this time, ensure that the temperature is above 15℃ and frequently sprinkle water around the leaves and flowers to keep them moist.

Reason 2

Insufficient nutrition: Flowering consumes a lot of nutrients from the plant. If there is insufficient nutrition, it will also cause bud drop.

Treatment

Bud thinning: Flower lovers should not feel sorry for the flower buds. Removing them now is to preserve nutrients and allow the remaining buds to bloom better.

The smaller, underdeveloped flower buds can be picked off, and one or two of the denser flower buds on the sides can also be picked off depending on the situation.

Yellow leaves

Reason 1

Excessive watering: Excessive watering in winter will fill the soil pores with water, which will hinder the respiration of the roots of flowers and plants, and they will not be able to absorb nutrients well, causing the leaves to turn yellow. This requires urgent rescue, otherwise the flowers and plants will easily rot.

Treatment

1. If the situation is not serious and no waterlogging has occurred, you can move the flowers and plants to a cool and ventilated place, loosen the soil in time to allow the moisture to evaporate as soon as possible.

Be careful not to let the temperature drop below 10℃, otherwise it will easily cause frostbite.

2. If the situation is very serious and the roots have become soft and black, it means that root rot has occurred. You must cut off the rotten roots immediately, clean them up, and replace the soil in the pot.

Reason 2

Long-term shade: Pothos, Chlorophytum, Money Plant, Lucky Bamboo, Ivy... These flowers and plants that flower lovers often grow indoors like semi-shade and do not have a great demand for sunlight, but they cannot be shaded for a long time.

If there is no sunlight for a long time, the leaves will not be able to carry out photosynthesis, and the nutrients of the flowers and plants cannot be guaranteed.

Treatment

Light-loving flowers and plants, such as succulents, can be placed on windowsills or balconies for maintenance in winter. Of course, you must pay attention to the temperature not being lower than 10℃ and do not allow cold wind to enter, otherwise it will easily cause frost damage in winter.

Flowers and plants that prefer partial shade, such as asparagus fern, should be placed in a bright, diffusely lit area indoors.

Reason 3

Temperature is too low: Generally speaking, as long as the temperature at home is not lower than 10℃, most common houseplants can safely overwinter. However, if the temperature is too low or the flowers and plants are accidentally exposed to cold wind, their leaves will easily turn yellow.

Treatment

Cut off the yellow leaves, increase the temperature of the living environment of the flowers and plants, and use insulation tape if necessary.

After bagging, when the temperature is high at noon, the flowers and plants should open the bag to allow air to flow. You can also punch a few small holes in the bag when bagging to ensure that the flowers and plants can breathe normally.

Soil compaction

Reason 1

Watering flowers with hard water: Tap water contains more soluble calcium and magnesium compounds. If you use tap water to water flowers for a long time, calcium and magnesium ions will precipitate, which can easily cause the soil in the pot to become compacted, and the water will not be able to seep down when you water the flowers.

Treatment

1. Boiling can soften hard water, so you should try to avoid using tap water to water the flowers directly. You can use purified water or boiled water instead.

2. When the soil in the pot becomes compacted, you can use the immersion method to water the flowers. This can ensure that the water is thoroughly poured without causing water to accumulate in the pot.

The immersion pot method allows water to seep into the pot from the water holes at the bottom of the pot, and you can take it out when the surface of the potting soil is moist. Note that the water in the large basin should not exceed the top of the flower pot.

Reason 2

Too much fertilizer: If too much fertilizer is applied, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium cannot be fully absorbed by flowers and plants. They will combine with components in the soil, causing the soil to become compacted and hindering the breathing of the roots of flowers and plants.

Treatment

In this case, the soil needs to be replaced. The new soil should be loose and fertile, and it is best to add some vermiculite or clean river sand to improve the soil's air permeability.

Leaves with holes

reason

This situation is generally mechanical damage, mostly caused by insect pests.

Treatment

1. If there are not many insects, you can consider catching them manually to avoid using drugs to burn flowers and plants.

2. If the pest is serious, consider using drugs to eliminate the pests. You can dilute the Flower Protector in the ratio of 1:200. It is better to dilute it rather than concentrate it. Spray it on the leaves, making sure to spray them all over. Then place the flowers and plants in a cool and ventilated place.

Moss growing on the side of a pottery basin

(Author: Huang Guo Source: Red Pottery Basin Home)

reason

This situation is usually caused by improper watering or blocked drainage holes, causing the soil in the pot to be too moist and moss to grow in the pot.

Of course, if the weather is too humid and the air humidity is high, moss may grow in the ceramic pots. Flower lovers can check whether this is the case for them.

Treatment

Remove the flowers and plants from the pots and check the soil and root conditions. If the roots have not rotted yet, place the flowers and plants with the soil in a cool place to dry, and then put them back into the pots after the soil becomes slightly moist.

If the roots have rotted, you need to cut off the bad roots, clean them up, change the soil and replant them. The new soil should be loose, fertile and well-ventilated.
