What are the alkali-loving plants
Main content introduction: This topic will discuss alkali-loving plants and a variety of flowers and plants in the collection of alkali-loving flowers. Detailed content will be shared next.
Not only do women love to eat vinegar, but flowers also love to drink it. The main principle is that acidic substances can adjust the pH of the soil, improve the plant's ability to absorb nutrients, prevent yellowing leaves, and promote flowering. Of course, this is more suitable for acid-loving flowers. For plants that prefer alkaline soil, it is not very applicable, such as cacti, clematis, figs, oleanders, and common lilacs, which are not suitable.
The first kind, Jasmine
It is somewhat difficult to grow jasmine in the north, making northern gardeners envious of their southern counterparts, as the water and soil in the south are slightly acidic, which is just what jasmine likes. It rarely turns yellow and fails to bloom in the south. However, in the north, it is quite the opposite; it rarely blooms and is prone to yellowing leaves. In such cases, ferrous sulfate can be used to nourish the plant. During the growing season, applying ferrous sulfate to the soil once or twice can make the yellow leaves disappear gradually, and more flowers will bloom. If ferrous sulfate is not available, vinegar can be used as a substitute.
The second kind, Gardenia
Gardenia flowers are relatively large, pure white, and have a奶油 (cream) flavor, making them very appealing. When they bloom, it signals the arrival of spring, as their blooming period is in April and May. They are excellent for decorating desks and balconies with their fresh and elegant appearance.
Gardenia leaves are prone to a condition where the veins are green, but the leaf flesh is yellow, which indicates iron deficiency and makes blooming difficult. This situation is likely due to the soil being too alkaline, preventing the absorption of more iron ions. Therefore, actively adjusting the soil pH can help gardenias grow more vigorously. It is recommended to dilute rice vinegar 500 times and apply it to the pot every ten days. If there is improvement, gradually extend the interval and then stop using it.
The third kind, Asparagus Fern
The appearance of the Asparagus Fern is delicate and weak, with layered leaves that feel furry to the touch, making it very adorable. Its fresh and elegant look is suitable for placing in a study to add a scholarly atmosphere.
Everyone knows that Asparagus Ferns can bloom, with their flowering season in autumn. Generally, mature Asparagus Ferns have the ability to bloom, but many people's plants fail to bloom even after reaching maturity, possibly due to incorrect care methods.
What are the alkali-loving plants
In addition to preferring soft lighting, Asparagus Ferns also like to grow in slightly acidic soil. If the soil is alkaline and compacted, it is also不利 (not conducive) to blooming. Before the high temperatures arrive, you can use rice vinegar twice, adding a spoonful to the water when watering, which can balance the pH very well, promote growth and blooming, and make the leaves glossy and reflective.
The fourth kind, Hydrangea
In spring, hydrangeas enter their peak growing season. Many hydrangeas have already started to bud at this time, with clusters of flowers that are beautiful and eye-catching, making them a pleasure to behold!
The color of hydrangea flowers is affected by pH levels, and they prefer to grow in acidic soil rich in humus. When the soil is slightly acidic, the flowers will be more vibrant and turn into romantic blue. If alkaline, they will be a more common pink. Adding a little rice vinegar to the water when watering can help adjust the soil pH, which is beneficial for the flower color and can also prevent iron deficiency in the leaves.
