This article will take you into the world of mountain potted plants to understand the care methods of these potted plants.
Introduction to Mountain Potted PlantsMountain potted plants, as the name implies, refer to potted plants that grow on the mountain. These plants mostly have the characteristics of cold resistance, drought resistance, and thin-soil adaptation, adapting to the harsh mountain environment. Common mountain potted plants include camellias, azaleas, osmanthus, and others.
Mountain Potted Plant Care Methods1. Choose the right potted container
Mountain potted plants need to choose containers with good breathability and strong drainage, usually using ceramic pots, purple sand pots, etc. These containers are beneficial for the breathing and growth of plant roots.
2. Watering in a timely manner
Although mountain potted plants are drought-resistant, they still need watering. During the peak growing season, keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging. In dry seasons, reduce the frequency of watering appropriately to prevent root rot.
3. Fertilizing
Mountain potted plants do not require a high demand for fertilizer, but proper fertilization helps plant growth. Organic fertilizers such as chicken manure and cow dung can be used, applying once a month. During the fertilization process, make sure the fertilizer does not come into contact with the leaves to avoid leaf burn.
4. Lighting
Mountain potted plants enjoy plenty of sunlight but should avoid direct exposure. In the hot summer season, place the potted plants in a semi-shaded area to prevent leaf sunburn.
5. Pest and disease control
Mountain potted plants are prone to pest and disease attacks, such as aphids and red spiders. It is necessary to detect and take measures to control them in a timely manner. Biopesticides or physical control methods can be selected.
