Key Points of Alum Root Potted Plants
Today, we are introducing topics related to growing alum root plants at home. Here are the key points about alum root potted plants, and let's learn about them together.
Most alum roots are planted in the ground, but for those who enjoy gardening on balconies, if you like alum roots, potted plants are a necessary choice. From the experience of gardening friends, it is not impossible. Let's take a look at the suggestions that gardening friends have for alum root potted plants.
1. Do not buy seedlings in summer, but in spring, autumn, and winter.
2. When buying seedlings, try to buy those in red pots or钵 (a type of pot). If you buy hole seedlings to collect more varieties, make sure to communicate with the store in advance that the hole seedling medium must be peat, not floral soil (very few stores have peat seedlings, which are smaller than floral soil seedlings but easier to survive).
3. When transplanting, do not plant too deep and expose the growing point.
4. Do not combine small seedlings in one pot; one seedling per pot is best, preferably using a breathable succulent or bulb pot.
5. The soil can be coconut shell or peat, mixed with perlite and a little granular material (not too much, less than 1/3), and you can use stone pads at the bottom of the钵.
6. Watering requires skill over three years: in the hottest summer, water twice a week; in spring and autumn, once a week; and in winter, once every half month. Do not water when it's coldest. It's best to water when the pot feels significantly lighter. In the hottest weather, water in the afternoon, so it's cool and absorbs water at night. Avoid watering when it's coldest, and if you must water, add a small amount of water in the early morning on a sunny day to avoid night frost causing water damage. Do not water the core, do not use a small spray bottle (those who do this are asking for trouble, spray bottles are for pesticides!), and dry the leaves promptly if they get wet (sunlight will make the water droplets refract and ruin the leaves).
7. Ventilation is important, and remember to shade in the summer.
The above are detailed explanations of the key points of alum root potted plants, for everyone's reference and suggestions!
