Summer is the breeding season for mosquitoes, and many families choose to plant insect repellent grass at home or in their yards to ensure the health of their families. But sometimes we find that the leaves of mosquito repellent will turn yellow, which will adversely affect the health of the plant. This article will introduce how to effectively deal with the yellowing of insect repellent leaves.
1: What is mosquito repellent?
Mosquito repellent, scientific name: gray plum, is a perennial herb with a fragrance and mosquito-removing effect. It is native to southeastern China. It can be used to make insect repellents, fragrances, tobacco and alcohol.
2: Why do insect repellent leaves turn yellow?
The yellowing of the leaves of mosquito repellant grass is generally caused by excessive watering or lack of water. If there is too much water in the soil, it will cause damage to the root system of the plant. Damage to the root system will lead to a decrease in the plant's nutrient absorption ability, which in turn will cause the leaves to turn yellow. If there is too little water in the soil, it will cause the plants to lack water, and it will also cause the leaves to turn yellow.
3: How to identify whether the insect repellent leaves are yellowing?
Under normal circumstances, mosquito repellant grass with yellow leaves will show dull leaf color, dry leaf tips and leaf margins, shrink, turn yellow, and even fall leaves, growth stagnation, and short plants.
4: How to avoid excessive watering?
When watering, ensure that the soil is well drained to avoid stagnant water, and also control the right amount of watering. Under normal circumstances, the amount of watering each time should be enough to make the soil moist, and do not let the soil be too moist.
5: How to avoid water shortages?
If the mosquito repellent is short of water, we need to water the plants in time. However, it should be noted that in hot weather, it is best to water every day in the morning and evening. This not only avoids evaporation in hot weather, but also ensures sufficient moisture for the plants.
6: How to fertilize?
During the growth of mosquitoes, appropriate fertilization can help the plants absorb sufficient nutrients and enhance the immunity of the plants. However, it should be noted that you should not overapply fertilizer, otherwise it will lead to salt accumulation, which will lead to plant shrinkage and leaves yellowing.
7: How to deal with yellowing of leaves?
If the leaves are already yellowing, we need to take timely measures. Cut off the yellowed parts of the leaves to allow the plants to have enough nutrients and light, and then do daily management such as watering and fertilization.
Eight: How to prune?
When pruning, select new branches with better tips and cut them off. You can cut off the top 1/3, which can stimulate the growth of new buds in the lower part and make the plant more luxuriant.
Nine: How to change the basin?
If the plant has grown stably and the growth environment is not good enough, consider changing the pot. It is best to change pots in spring or autumn, but also pay attention to changing soil and controlling the amount of watering.
Ten: How to control pests?
Mosquito repellant grass is easily infested by pests such as aphids and whiteflies. We can use biological control methods, such as using insects to parasitize and prey, or we can use chemical methods such as pesticides.
Eleven: How to prevent diseases?
Mosquito repellant is susceptible to diseases such as anthrax and downy mildew. We can use methods such as spraying spraying and uprooting infected plants to prevent and control them.
12: How to maintain the healthy growth of mosquito repellent?
In order to maintain the healthy growth of mosquito repellent, we need to manage it regularly. Including watering, fertilizing, pruning, pest and disease control, etc.
13: How to choose a suitable growth environment for mosquito repellent?
Mosquito repellent is suitable for growing in an environment with sufficient sunshine, good ventilation and suitable humidity. It also likes an environment with fertile, loose soil and good drainage.
14: How to carry out autumn maintenance?
Autumn is the peak season for the growth of mosquitoes. We need to strengthen daily management, and we can also carry out some maintenance measures, such as reasonable fertilization, watering, pruning, etc., to ensure the healthy growth of plants during the next year's growing period.
Fifteen: Yellowing of mosquito repellent leaves is a relatively common phenomenon. We need to take timely measures to deal with this situation. Through the introduction of this article, I believe everyone has understood how to effectively deal with the yellowing of mosquito repellent leaves, so that mosquito repellent can play its greatest role in summer.
