Knowing only watering and not humidity control when growing flowers
Do you know about these? The experience related to growing flowers by only knowing watering and not humidity control will be explained in detail by the editor for you next.
This is the 969th day of original articles.
Before starting today's article, I would like to apologize to everyone first. Due to severe cervical spondylosis during this period, which has caused pain in my shoulders and arms, I couldn't type and the update was delayed. I apologize to everyone for this!
In previous articles, we discussed the relationship between pot plant maintenance and ventilation. Today, let's talk about the relationship between pot plants and humidity.
Pot Plants and Humidity
Many people's first reaction when mentioning humidity is air humidity, but actually, humidity is not only about air humidity. The humidity of the pot soil is even more important.
Pot soil humidity refers to the water content in the pot soil, which is directly related to watering.
In previous chapters on watering, it was mentioned that if the pot soil is moist for a long time, it can easily cause root rot.
This is because the plant's roots also need to breathe. Under aerobic conditions, plants oxidize and break down carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and other substances to produce water, carbon dioxide, and release energy. The process of respiration is exactly the opposite of photosynthesis.

If the pot soil is too moist and lacks oxygen, the plant's respiration will occur in an anaerobic or hypoxic environment, which can only be anaerobic respiration. Organic matter can only be partially broken down and not fully decomposed, resulting in the production of a large number of alcohol molecules.
This means that if the pot soil is too moist, the plant will undergo anaerobic respiration, which is a fermentation process, and easily cause root rot.
The above is about the relationship between pot soil humidity and pot plants. In addition to pot soil humidity, there is also air humidity.
Relationship between Air Humidity and Pot Plants
Air humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air.
Air humidity has a significant impact on plant growth, mainly affecting the plant's transpiration. Transpiration can also help to dissipate heat and regulate the plant's body temperature.
If the air humidity is too high, the plant's transpiration is weakened, and less water is lost, which can easily cause plant burn.
