Yellowing leaves of gardenia, black rot of succulents, root rot of money tree...solve it with one trick!

Gardenia leaves turning yellow

The soil in the pot is alkaline

Gardenia likes acidic soil. If the leaves of gardenia turn yellow in the north, it is likely that the soil in the pot is alkaline.
(Author: 945424786 Source: Baidu Knows) Solution: Method 1: Cut off the yellow leaves and irrigate the roots with diluted ferrous sulfate. The dilution ratio of ferrous sulfate is 1:2000~5000. Method 2: If you don’t have ferrous sulfate at home, you can add 1 to 2 drops of vinegar next time you water the plants.

Too little watering

The evaporation rate is high in summer, and gardenia requires a lot of water. Many flower lovers tend to under-water it.
Watering frequency: 1 to 2 times a day. Watering time: after 4 pm every day

Overwatering

Gardenia likes moisture, so many flower lovers water it whenever they have time. If they are not careful, they will water it too much, and the leaves of the gardenia will turn yellow...
Solution 1: 1. Stop watering and place the gardenia in a well-ventilated place to speed up the evaporation of water. 2. Loosen the soil on the surface of the gardenia to speed up the evaporation of water. Solution 2: 1. If excessive watering has caused root rot, you need to remove the gardenia from the pot first. 2. Gently tap the soil on the roots, and then rinse the roots with clean water. 3. Use sharp scissors to cut off the rotten parts of the roots, then apply carbendazim on the wound and place it in a cool place to dry. 4. Prepare the nutrient soil and repot it.

Yellow rose leaves

Yellow leaves caused by pests and diseases

Rose diseases and pests have always been a major concern for many flower lovers! Every summer, we have to be on high alert, fearing that something might go wrong!
Solution: 1. Once you find that the leaves of the rose are turning yellow, check the leaves carefully, cut off all the yellow ones and burn them. 2. Then use disinfectants such as carbendazim to carefully spray all leaves and stems. 3. If it is an insect pest, you can spray it with special insecticides, such as the commonly used Huhuashen, Jinmanzhi, Laifulu, Damanling, etc.

Too little watering

Roses must be watered frequently in the summer, otherwise they will easily wilt and turn yellow due to lack of water, because the evaporation in the summer is too great!
Watering frequency: outdoor, 1 to 2 times a day. For indoor cultivation, watering can be done once every 2 to 3 days: in the morning or at night, but be sure to avoid noon!

Overwatering

There are many such problems with potted roses. Now it is summer, and the evaporation of roses is relatively large, so watering should be increased appropriately. Some flower lovers cannot control the amount, resulting in water accumulation and causing the rose leaves to turn yellow.
Solution: 1. Use a shovel to loosen the soil on the surface of the rose to speed up the evaporation of water. 2. Place the rose in a cool and ventilated place to speed up the evaporation of moisture. 3. When watering afterwards, you must follow the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry, and watering thoroughly when you do water.

Mint Leggy

Lack of light causes leggy growth

Mint is actually a very easy-to-grow plant, but if it lacks light, it will easily grow too tall, that is, the length of the internodes between the upper and lower leaves will be too long, affecting its ornamental value.
Solution: 1. Cut off the overgrown parts. 2. Place the mint in a place where it can get sunlight, such as a south windowsill, south balcony, etc.

Pay attention to pinching

After the mint seedlings grow 4 to 5 pairs of true leaves, pinch them off and remove the top pair of true leaves!

Clivia Fertilization

Be careful when applying fertilizer in summer

When the temperature reaches 25 degrees or above in summer, stop fertilizing. If the air conditioner is turned on indoors and the temperature reaches below 25 degrees, you can apply very thin liquid fertilizer once every 15 to 20 days. You can choose bean cake water as the fertilizer.

Fertilization should be sufficient in spring and autumn

Spring and autumn are the peak growth periods for Clivia, so sufficient fertilizer must be applied.
1. When repotting, use 10% of roasted sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, perilla seeds, castor seeds, charcoal, bone meal, etc. as base fertilizer. 2. Apply a thin layer of cake fertilizer mainly composed of nitrogen fertilizer once every 10 days or so. You can choose liquid fertilizer made from oil-containing crops such as bean cake, castor seeds, soybeans, and hemp seeds.

Lucky bamboo does not take root

Insufficient temperature causes lucky bamboo to not take root

The lucky bamboo I bought never takes root? There must be some problem with the temperature. Keep the temperature at around 20℃ and it will basically take root in about a week.

Water changes are not timely enough

The temperature is quite high now, even reaching 30℃ in some areas. At this temperature, you need to change the water once a day, otherwise it will easily become smelly.

Add some rooting powder

You can add a little rooting agent into the hydroponic bottle, and the proportion can be according to the instructions ~ It can accelerate rooting ~

Pothos cuttings do not take root

Too many bacteria in the soil

Many flower lovers encounter problems with yellowing and rotting leaves when planting green radish in the soil. The root cause is that the soil is not completely disinfected, which leads to failure of cuttings. Solution: 1. Soak the cut branches of the green radish in a solution of carbendazim for about half an hour, then take them out and dry them in the shade for about 1 to 2 days. 2. Apply some rooting powder on the wound of the green ivy. If there is no rooting powder, you don’t have to apply it. 3. Expose the soil for cuttings in the sun for 1 to 2 days. If conditions permit, boil the soil in an abandoned pot to sterilize it better.

The water temperature is not enough

Many flower lovers have tried water-planted green ivy but it has not taken root. There are two reasons for this: one is that the temperature is not high enough, so the rooting is slow; the other is that it is infected by bacteria, causing it to rot directly. Solution: 1. Soak the wound of the cut green radish branches in a solution of thiabendazim for about half an hour, then take them out to dry in the shade. 2. Prepare clean water and insert the dried green radish branches into it. Don’t fill the pot with water completely, about one third is enough. 3. The temperature is relatively high in summer, so generally change the water every 1 to 2 days!

Succulent black rot

The temperature is too high and watering at noon causes black rot in succulents. There are actually two reasons for this. One is lack of ventilation, and the other is that the soil is not breathable.

Solutions to airtight soil:

1. Remove the succulent plants from the pot and rinse the roots with clean water. 2. Cut off all the black rotted parts of the succulent, leaving nothing behind. 3. Soak the wound with disinfectant such as carbendazim, and then place it in a cool place to dry. 4. Replace the potting soil with new one. The proportion of vermiculite and other particles in the new potting soil should account for 50%. Then put the succulents in the pot. It will take about 1 week for them to take root.

Solution to no ventilation:

Place your succulents in a well-ventilated area, such as a windowsill!

Fortune tree root rot

Overwatering

If your money tree has root rot, it’s most likely because you’ve watered it too much.

Solution:

1. Take the money tree out of the pot and clean the soil around the roots. 2. Cut off the rotten parts. If the rot is too severe, just cut off the rotten stem part. 3. Any rotten parts of the stem should also be cleaned up. 4. Place the treated rhizomes in potassium permanganate solution for about half an hour for disinfection. 5. Then dry it in a cool and ventilated place and replant it. Is there anything else you would like to know, flower lovers? You can tell Huahua in the message~
