This article uses 5 major restoration techniques +3-step pruning guides to teach you hands-on how to rejuvenate endangered plants. Key steps to saving dry gypsophila 1. Metabolic drying treatment When the bottom leaves are found to naturally chlorinate, this is a normal metabolic phenomenon of the plant. It is recommended to use pruning shears to cut the withered leaves obliquely 45° from the base every week, and spray 0.1% urea solution immediately after pruning to replenish nutrients. 2. Emergency rescue for high temperature burns Continuous exposure to temperatures above 35 ° C in summer will cause the leaves to curl and scorch. Immediately transfer to a semi-cloudy environment, cover the basin surface with soaked pine needle soil, and combine with morning and evening leaf spray, paying attention to no water droplets remaining at noon. 3. Rescue plan for flooded and rotten roots. Root rot caused by stagnant water requires three steps: ① Stop water and loosen soil to accelerate evaporation ② Remove black root systems to retain white healthy parts ③ Replace with a new substrate with 30% of perlite. During the recovery period, water is supplied by dipping basin method to maintain air circulation. Professional pruning and styling guidelines 1. Golden rule for side branch shaping. Keep the main stem 30cm high, and prune excessively dense side branches according to the principle of "leaving three and removing one." The incision is in a horseshoe shape 0.5 cm away from the bud point, which can stimulate new buds to merse from the remaining 5-7 main branches. 2. The core techniques of light-transmitting thinning follow the principle of "three cuts and three retention": cut cross branches and leave parallel branches, cut inner branches and leave outer branches, and cut weak sick branches and leave strong branches. After trimming, ensure that 3-5 beams of light can be transmitted per square centimeter. How to remedy the dry star 3. Double benefits of residual flower treatment When flowers wilting reaches 1/3, they need to be pruned, and cut flat at a point 1cm above the second node of the pedicel. Timely cleaning can save 40% of nutrient consumption and block the transmission path of gray mold.
