Common problems and solutions for home maintenance of Vassilis

Selection of containers and transplanting time for Sphaerocephala cultivation

The stonecrop is commonly found on sunny hillsides in the wild. In recent years, it has been favored by flower lovers, and many people have grown it on their roofs and balconies. Some people also use Scutellaria baicalensis as a covering plant to green the roof.

But when cared for at home, it is difficult for it to bloom and often dies halfway.

When growing Scutellaria baicalensis, you need to choose a suitable container. Although there was not much soil in the gaps between the tiles on the roof, the moss grew very well. Therefore, we need to create an environment for the tile roof that is similar to the gaps between the tiles.

Use a small plastic box for biscuits as a container, fill half of it with nutrient soil at the bottom and half with coarse river sand at the top, and plant young orchid seedlings. You can also use a small pot with a diameter of 3 inches, with 3 cm of gravel, 3 cm of nutrient soil, and 2 cm of coarse river sand at the bottom of the pot, and the effect will also be very good.

In addition, choose the right time for transplanting. For spring transplanting, you should choose dense rosette-shaped leaf clusters that have survived the winter, which will bloom in the same year after surviving. For transplanting in summer and autumn, you should choose one-year-old seedlings, which will bloom the following year after surviving.

What to do if the roots of the spathiphyllum are rotten

Planting the stonecrop in an ordinary flowerpot, because the amount of soil will be relatively large, after watering, the drainage will be poor, and the roots will easily rot and die.

Workaround

Choose a smaller container, put in an appropriate amount of soil, water in the evening, and spray in small amounts to avoid root rot.

It should be noted that during the period of stem growth and flowering, the plant grows rapidly and requires a lot of water, so it should be watered more often; while the overwintering plants form shortened stems, grow slowly, require less water, and should be watered less often.

What to do if the sedge has diseases and insect pests?

Common diseases and pests of Scutellaria include the well-known mustard, snails, and bacteria that are invisible to us.

Workaround

Adding a small amount of carbendazim to water when watering flowers can basically prevent the growth of most bacteria.

You need special attention to the pink mustard because it is very hidden. If you find that a succulent has wilted but can't find the reason, be sure to turn over the leaves and look at the bottom of the leaves!

Snails are basically nocturnal and are the most difficult to prevent. When caring for your succulents, you should turn over the pots from time to time to see if there are any of these sticky, nasty creatures lurking underneath!
