Soil selection, light conditions, temperature control, watering management, fertilization skills and pest control As the pace of life accelerates, more and more people are paying attention to indoor greening. Potted plants are favored because of their easy maintenance and diverse shapes, especially in the northern region. Due to climatic conditions, it is crucial to choose suitable potted plants and master the correct planting conditions. This article will introduce you in detail the planting conditions of potted plants in the northern region and help you create a green indoor world. Soil selection The selection of soil for potted plants in the north is crucial. Soil with good air permeability and good drainage should be selected. Common soils include peat soil, leaf soil, perlite, etc. According to the growth habits of plants, the soil ratio can be appropriately adjusted. Plants that like acidic soil can appropriately increase the proportion of peat soil, while plants that like alkaline soil can appropriately increase the proportion of perlite. Lighting conditions The lighting requirements for potted plants in the north vary depending on the type of plant. Light-loving plants such as sunflowers, cactus, etc. should be placed in places with sufficient sunshine; shade-tolerant plants such as green radish, spider plants, etc. can be placed in places with sufficient scattered light. In places where there is insufficient light in the northern region in winter, artificial light sources can be used appropriately to supplement light. Temperature control potted plants in the north have higher temperature requirements. Generally, the suitable growth temperature is between 15℃ and 25℃. The indoor temperature is low in winter. The following measures can be taken: First, place the potted plants near the heating system; Second, use electric blankets and other equipment to increase indoor temperature; Third, appropriately adjust plant types and select plants with strong cold resistance. Watering management The watering management of potted plants in the north should be carried out according to the growth habits of plants, soil conditions and seasonal changes. Generally speaking, watering should follow the principle of "seeing wet when it is dry" to avoid the soil being too moist or dry, and the winter temperature is low. If the number of watering should be appropriately reduced to avoid damage to the roots. Fertilization skills Fertilization in potted plants in northern China should be carried out according to the growth stage and needs of the plants. It is generally divided into basal fertilizer and topdressing. Basal fertilizer can be applied when changing pots, and topdressing can be applied at a timely time according to the growth of the plants. When fertilizing, attention should be paid to the following points: 1. Choose fertilizers suitable for plant growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers, organic fertilizers, etc.; 2. The amount of fertilizer should not be too much to avoid fertilizer damage; 3. Water in time after fertilization to promote fertilizer absorption. Pest and pest control northern potted plants are vulnerable to pests and diseases during their growth. In order to prevent pests and diseases, the following measures can be taken: 1. Maintain indoor ventilation and reduce humidity; 2. Regularly inspect plant leaves, stems and other parts to deal with pests and diseases when discovered; 3. Use biopesticides or plant extracts for prevention and control.
The planting conditions of potted plants in the north are relatively complex, but as long as you master the knowledge of soil, light, temperature, watering, fertilization and pest control, you can easily create a green indoor world.
