How to take care of indoor potted plants with frostbite
The editor introduces you to some knowledge of flower care, on how to take care of indoor potted plants with frostbite, and the following is a detailed introduction.
I. Frostbite prevention and maintenance of indoor potted plants
With the improvement of people's living standards, it has become very common to have indoor potted plants, especially placing some high-end potted plants such as pineapple, orchids, large-flowered cymbidiums, and red anthuriums indoors. These plants have poor cold resistance and require the indoor temperature to be kept above 10 degrees Celsius. There are also some potted plants like clivia, calathea, sansevieria, and aloe vera that require the indoor temperature to be above 5 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the frost prevention and maintenance of indoor potted plants mainly involve the following aspects:
1. Place the potted plants in a relatively warmer place inside, such as air-conditioned rooms or rooms with heating, but make sure the potted plants are not directly facing the air conditioner vents.
2. Do not water excessively.
Because the temperature is low in winter and the evaporation rate is low, excessive water can lead to poor root respiration and cause root rot and death. Moreover, the potted plants should be watered in the middle of the day after they are completely dry, and avoid watering in the morning and evening. Tap water should be stored for 1-2 days and then watered with warm water. Additionally, you can use warm water to wash the leaves to increase humidity.
3. Control fertilization.
Since the temperature is low, most flowers enter a dormant or semi-dormant state with slow metabolism and poor absorption capacity, thus requiring very little fertilizer. Fertilizer and water should be strictly controlled and fertilization should be stopped.
4. Use plastic film to cover the pot and potted plants indoors, or wrap them with cotton or dry grass, and place a small basin of water inside the cover.
5. Get more sunlight.
II. Care for potted plants after frostbite
1. Remove snow, and secure injured branches.
2.整理树冠,及时处理断枝,保护伤口。
For torn branches, bind them with ropes and supports, apply wax on the torn area, and then wrap it with film. For completely broken branches, cut them off promptly, smooth the cut, apply a protective agent, and wrap it with black film. Methods for preparing protective agents include: a mixture of yellow mud slurry and fresh cow dung, 250 grams of vaseline mixed with 5 grams of carbendazim, or a lime tung oil paste, etc.
3. Pay attention to drainage, tillage, and fertilization after spring to promote recovery.
4. Strengthen the prevention and control of diseases and pests. After the tree is frozen, the leaves are damaged and the resistance is reduced.
