Many flower friends have a feeling that raising flowers in a closed balcony is prone to diseases and pests!
Why is that? In fact, it has a lot to do with ventilation. Today, I will take you through the important impact of ventilation on potted plant care.
The importance of ventilation for flowers
1. Promotes photosynthesis
Plant growth requires photosynthesis, which consumes carbon dioxide and water, and converts them into organic matter through sunlight.
Therefore, maintaining air circulation can increase the carbon dioxide content in the air. Photosynthesis consumes carbon dioxide and synthesizes oxygen. If air circulation is poor, it will cause the local air to have a low carbon dioxide content and high oxygen content, reducing the plant's photosynthesis rate.
2. Can accelerate transpiration
Maintaining air circulation can increase the photosynthesis rate of plants. As photosynthesis strengthens, the nutritional exchange rate of plants speeds up, accelerating transpiration and also serving as a cooling effect.

3. Can reduce root suffocation
Transpiration dissipates most of the moisture, creating a pressure difference between the upper part and the root system of the plant, which in turn promotes the roots to absorb moisture from the soil, speeding up the drying and wetting cycle of the potting soil and reducing the occurrence of root suffocation.
4. Reduces the incidence of diseases and pests
Maintaining environmental ventilation can avoid a stuffy and humid environment, prevent the accumulation of pathogens, and reduce the frequency of diseases and pests.
The above points are summarized by the Green Plants Enthusiast website on the importance of maintaining ventilation for potted plants. However, the benefits of maintaining ventilation are far more than this. There is a more detailed explanation in the "30-Day Guide to Becoming a Flower Growing Expert from Scratch" column on the Green Plants Enthusiast website.
In general, when raising potted plants, it is important to pay attention to ventilation. Outdoor conditions usually have better ventilation, while closed balconies tend to have poorer ventilation.
