Do I need to spray water on the leaves of flowers in winter
The dry indoor environment in winter brings new challenges to plant maintenance, and foliar spraying has become the focus of attention of many plant lovers. Reasonable water mist maintenance can not only maintain the vitality of plants, but improper operation may cause leaf decay. This paper will systematically analyze the scientific methods and taboo varieties of plant water spraying in winter. Analysis of the necessity of spraying water by plants in winter 1.1 Principles of environmental humidity regulation The humidity during the northern heating season is often lower than 30%, which is far below the suitable humidity of 40%-60% for most leaf-viewing plants. Scientific experiments have shown that foliar spraying twice a day can increase local humidity by 15%-20%, effectively preventing scorched edge phenomena. 1.2 Photosynthetic efficiency improvement mechanism Clean leaves can increase photosynthesis efficiency by 12%-18%. Atomized water droplets can carry away dust and are especially suitable for large-leaf plants such as turtle bamboo and green radish. However, attention should be paid to drying the accumulated water in time after spraying. Plant Water Spray Operation Code 2.1 It is recommended to select during prime time from 10:00 to 14:00, when the ambient temperature is>18℃. Avoid spraying water in the evening to prevent water retention caused by low temperatures at night. 2.2 It is recommended to use a spray can with a diameter of 0.3 mm, and the diameter of water droplets is controlled at 50-80μm. Measured data shows that ultra-fine atomization reduces the risk of water accumulation by 63% compared with ordinary spray cans. Taboos for special plant maintenance 3.1 The fluffy leaves of the villous leaf plants such as Dayannia and African violet take 6-8 hours to completely evaporate after spraying water. It is recommended to use a humidifier to moisturize the environment, or use a nanofiber cloth to gently wipe it. 3.2 Rosette plants protect clivia, orchids and other varieties that are prone to water accumulation. You can adopt the "sandwich" moisturizing method: basin bottom water pan + surrounding spray + light wiping on the back of the leaves to keep the leaf cores dry. Correction of common maintenance misunderstandings·Water spray ≠ watering: foliar water replenishment cannot replace root irrigation·Water temperature control: It is recommended to use mild warm water at 20-25℃·Frequency control: 2-3 days/time for ordinary plants, once a month for succulent plants Through scientific water spray maintenance, plants can remain shiny and shiny in winter. Keep in mind the three principles of "looking at varieties, controlling water volume, and selecting time periods" and combine the specific operating guidelines in the article to let your green plants survive the winter safely.
