Autumn Plant Care and Management Methods
Today's editor introduces the methods of autumn plant care and management and the correct process of caring for green plants and flowers. Please see the detailed introduction below.
Highlights of this article: It is already autumn, and the method of caring for flowers should also be changed, because conditions such as light and water have changed, so how should everyone cope with autumn?
Today, let's talk about how to care for flowers and plants from pruning, watering, fertilizing, and potting.
In summer, there is plenty of sunlight and rain, which is very suitable for plant growth, so they grow relatively fast. If left unattended, it may affect the development of the plant shape, and the appearance will naturally be unattractive, so the autumn period should be a key period for pruning.
In autumn, watering is even more critical. Many people think that the frequency of watering can be reduced in autumn, but this idea is wrong. The weather in autumn is relatively hot, and the principle of watering is to water thoroughly.
Fertilizing accompanied by loosening the soil allows the plant roots to absorb the fertilizer more quickly. The effect of fertilizing will be better.
Some problems are prone to occur in autumn plant care, let's discuss them today:
One, Waterlogging
Autumn is a key time for growth and development, except for spring. Excessive watering may cause waterlogging issues. Too much water in the flower pot is not good for the plant roots, so some solutions are needed.
You can put some leaves at the bottom of the flower pot, and over time, these leaves can form leaf mold.
After spreading the leaves, even if there is waterlogging, the water can quickly penetrate downwards, giving the plant roots space to breathe.
Two, Adjusting Acidity and Alkalinity
Some plants prefer acidic soil, and many people can't do anything about it. It's actually very simple. Take some vinegar, dilute it with water, and then mix it into the soil to adjust the soil to be acidic. There's no need to buy special acidic soil.
Add rice husk charcoal to the soil. It can slow down the mold growth of plants and reduce the possibility of bacterial growth. This method is suitable for plants in the south, where the air is humid, there are many insects, and it's easy to breed bacteria and get sick with pests. Keeping the soil dry can reduce mold.
Three, Sunlight
Autumn Plant Care and Management Methods
Some plants like sunlight, and some do not, so it's impossible to meet the sunlight needs of all plants. You can put plants that cannot be exposed to direct sunlight in a shaded place. For example, Clivia Miniata. Then put some sun-loving plants in the sun to bask.
Some plants do not need a lot of sunlight, so it is also fine even in a dark room without sunlight. But remember to ventilate. Most plants need ventilation.
Four, Pruning
Autumn is a key period for pruning plants, but attention should be paid to the method of pruning. Insufficient pruning can affect flowering and leaf growth, while excessive pruning can slow down plant growth. Let's introduce pruning methods using several plants as examples.
For example, begonias should be pruned after flowering, cutting off all the waste branches to promote a balanced nutrient supply for the plant. If the pruning method is correct, the plant can also bloom in winter.
For roses, pruning should be done during the dormant period. What branches and leaves should be pruned? The objects of pruning are the bad branches and leaves, and pruning should be done after the plant gets sick. Proper pruning helps with blooming and results in full flower branches.
If planting geraniums, a major pruning of the geraniums allows the nutrients to concentrate on these better branches. Cut off the branches of the geraniums that are not growing well and only leave a few branches that are growing well.
