Senior flower enthusiasts tell you
For most women, knowledge about common sense in flower cultivation is something senior flower enthusiasts tell you, and next, we will explore it together.
Due to various reasons, the leaves of foliage plants sometimes have uneven sizes and widths, greatly affecting their ornamental value, which requires leaf control during maintenance to ensure balanced growth of the leaves.
1. Control light and water.
When new leaves sprout, control light and water to slow down the growth speed of new leaves as much as possible, allowing the stem to produce more leaves, and the closer the new leaves are arranged, the more downwardly curved their growth will be, which helps in generating naturally beautiful mature leaves.
2. Remove old leaves.
Remove old leaves to allow the terminal buds to sprout new leaves earlier, and once the new leaves are shaped, remove the leaves that are not in good shape to avoid wasting.
3. Water moderately.
Water moderately to prevent waterlogging in the pot, otherwise, new branches will grow excessively while old leaves will wither, resulting in a significant imbalance in the number and appearance of new and old leaves. Therefore, water control is necessary, and for drought-resistant foliage plants, wait until the soil 2 to 3 centimeters below the pot is dry before watering moderately, with watering time at 10 a.m., and normal management should be resumed after the new leaves are shaped.
4. Rotate the pot regularly.
Leaves have phototropism and heliotropism, especially new leaves, which tend to grow towards the sun, resulting in uneven heights and sizes between old and new leaves. To ensure uniform growth and a graceful posture, the pot needs to be rotated and the direction changed frequently. For example, when the leaf slant is significant, the north side of the pot should be turned to the south side, with a rotation frequency of 10 to 15 days.
The above [] introduces how senior flower enthusiasts tell you to achieve balanced leaf growth, for reference by green plant enthusiasts, hoping it can solve your problems in green plant and flower management.
