Where to Place the Full Moon Flower After Repotting
As an ornamental plant easily affected by the environment, the care of Full Moon Flower after repotting is directly related to the survival rate of the plant. Correct placement and scientific care methods can effectively prevent common issues such as leaf drying and curling. This article will systematically analyze the entire process of repotting care from environmental control to emergency treatment.
Choosing the Care Environment for Full Moon Flower After Repotting
1. Light and Ventilation Management
For the first 10 days after repotting, it needs to be placed in a diffused light environment to avoid direct sunlight burning the leaves. It is recommended to use a north-facing windowsill or a balcony with 50% shading, maintaining air circulation but avoiding strong wind currents.
2. Precise Temperature and Humidity Control
Keep a constant environment of 18-25°C, with a day-night temperature difference not exceeding 5°C. Use a misting spray bottle to water the leaves twice a day (morning and evening), keeping the soil moisture at 60%-70%. The moisture level can be checked by inserting a bamboo skewer.
Emergency Treatment Plan for Dry and Curled Leaves of Full Moon Flower
1. Emergency Treatment for Root Damage
If the leaves continue to dry and curl, immediately remove the pot and check the roots. Trim the blackened and rotten roots, then soak in a 500 times solution of carbendazim for 30 minutes. Repot using a new substrate mixture of perlite: peat at a ratio of 3:1.
2. Measures to Alleviate Environmental Stress
Set up a temporary humidity tent: cover the plant with a transparent plastic bag and vent for 2 hours a day. Combine with spraying 2000 times solution of brassinolide, used consecutively for 3 times (with a 5-day interval), which can effectively alleviate environmental stress responses.
Analysis of Preventive Maintenance Key Points
Stop fertilizing 2 weeks before repotting and choose a sunny morning for the operation. Use breathable containers like ceramic or green mountain pots, and mix 10% vermiculite into the substrate to enhance drainage. During the slow seedling period, rotate the pot 45 degrees weekly to ensure even light exposure.
Through scientific post-repotting management, the survival rate of Full Moon Flower can be increased to over 90%. The key is to grasp the principle of gradual light change, increasing light exposure by 1 hour every week after the slow seedling period, until full sunlight care is restored. Timely intervention when abnormalities are detected can make the Full Moon Flower bloom again in full glory.
