I pulled out all the weeds in the pot, but was scolded by the old flower farmer for the reason...

There are some rules for weeds growing in flower pots.

The most common plant in our flower pots is the "three-leaf clover" which is naturally romantic. Its scientific name is Oxalis alba, and it is listed as one of the pot-protecting grasses by flower lovers.

There are advantages to being small in number:

Since it is a potting grass, it must be able to play a protective role and is beneficial to potted flowers. As long as there is it in the flowerpot, watering and fertilizing are easy and effortless!

1. Hygrometer. When there is a small amount of weeds in the flowerpot, we can judge the dryness or wetness of the soil by observing the state of the weeds. (Grass flowers are more sensitive to water)

If the potting grasses grow vigorously and stand upright, it means that the soil in the pot is not short of water; if the potting grasses are wilted, it means that there is not enough water in the soil and it is best to water it thoroughly.

2. Fertility meter. If you want the plant to grow strong and bloom abundantly, you need to add fertilizer to it. We can tell whether the plant is lacking fertilizer by looking at a few small grasses.

If the potting grass grows vigorously, it naturally means that the soil in the flowerpot has sufficient nutrients and no fertilizer is needed; if the grass grows thin, you need to add fertilizer to the plant!

3. Beautiful and splash-proof. Covering the soil surface with potting grass is equivalent to covering the surface of the pot with succulents. It can beautify the flowerpot and prevent water droplets from splashing out of the pot when watering.

Too many, hurry up and pull out:

When there are not many potting plants, the benefits of growing flowers are still great, but you should pay attention to controlling its amount. If it grows to the point of overflowing the pot, it will compete with the flowers for nutrients!

Take the yellow flowered Oxalis for example. Its life is just like that of a cockroach. It cannot be killed by drought or flood. Its root system underground is crisscrossed and particularly developed, and its reproductive ability is super strong.

It reproduces and grows by the cracking of the seed shell. If you touch it with your hand, the seeds will jump around. Therefore, Huahua does not recommend using it as a potting grass because it is too troublesome to clean.

Summary: When weeds grow in the flowerpot, it is best not to pull them all out. Leaving some small grasses is more beneficial to the plants. Just be careful not to let them spread too much.

A variety of potting plants for you to choose from

The potting grass is beautiful and easy to grow, and it can also prevent the soil from becoming compacted. In addition to the "clover" with explosive fertility, there are many other plants suitable for paving.

1. Moss

Moss is one of the favorite surface for flowers because it is a low-level plant that does not grow as aggressively as other potting plants and is particularly sensitive to humidity and fertility.

2. Coriander

The leaves of cilantro are also very beautiful in shape. They are often used to decorate the surface of tree stumps and landscape bonsai pots. They have vigorous growth and are a good pot protector.

3. Golden Sedum

Golden Senna is one of the favorite potting plants among many flower lovers, and it blooms very quickly. The only thing to pay attention to is to control its number and not let it take over the host.
