Choose suitable potted plants, choose flowerpots with good water permeability, rationally allocate soil, control watering frequency, promptly clean the drain holes at the bottom of the flowerpot, take sunshade measures to strengthen pest control. With the arrival of summer, rainwater increases, many potted plants are facing the risk of waterlogging. If measures are not taken in time, it may affect the growth of plants or cause plant death in the worst case. How to effectively prevent waterlogging of potted plants? Here are some practical waterlogging prevention strategies to help your green plants survive the rainy season safely. When selecting suitable potted plants, priority should be given to plants with strong waterlogging tolerance. Some succulent plants, cactus plants and some leaf-viewing plants are highly adaptable to water and are not prone to waterlogging. Avoid choosing plants that are too sensitive to water, such as orchids, rhododendrons, etc. Choosing flowerpots with good water permeability has a great impact on water permeability. flowerpots made of ceramics, plastics, bamboo and other materials have good water permeability and are conducive to water drainage, while flowerpots made of metal, glass and other materials have poor water permeability. It is easy to lead to accumulated water. It is recommended to choose flowerpots with good water permeability to plant potted plants. Reasonably allocate soil. The permeability and drainage of soil are crucial to the growth of potted plants. When configuring soil, some leus soil, sand, etc. can be added to improve the permeability and drainage of the soil. Some organic fertilizers can also be added., such as chicken manure, cow dung, etc., to improve the soil structure and enhance the plant's ability to withstand waterlogging. Controlling the frequency of watering watering is one of the main reasons for waterlogging of potted plants. During the rainy season, the frequency of watering should be appropriately reduced to avoid excessive moisture of the soil. Under normal circumstances, watering 1-2 times a week is enough. When watering, Ensure that water fully penetrates into the soil to avoid accumulation of water. Clean the drain holes at the bottom of the flowerpot in a timely manner. The drain holes at the bottom of the flowerpot are important channels for water drainage. During the rainy season, regularly check whether the drain holes are smooth. If there is a blockage, clean them in time. You can also place some small stones or ceramite in the drain holes to prevent soil clogging the drain holes. Taking sunshade measures In the rainy season, when there is sufficient sunshine, potted plants are prone to waterlogging. During the rainy season, appropriate sunshade measures, such as using sunshade nets, sunshade cloths, etc., can be taken to reduce the risk of plants being waterlogging. Strengthen pest control In the rainy season, potted plants are vulnerable to pests and diseases. It is necessary to strengthen pest control, regularly inspect plant leaves, stems and other parts, and take timely measures to prevent and control pests.
Potted waterlogging prevention is a systematic project that requires us to start from multiple aspects to ensure that plants can safely survive the rainy season. By selecting suitable potted plants and flower pots, rationally configuring soil, controlling watering frequency, timely cleaning drainage holes, and adopting sunshade measures. Measures such as strengthening pest control and pest control can effectively reduce the risk of waterlogging in potted plants and allow your green plants to thrive during the rainy season.
