Care of Apartment Plants
Fresh the breath of plants
Houseplants need fresh air, so it is necessary to open the windows to maintain houseplants and allow fresh oxygen to enter the building space. Sufficient oxygen reaching indoor plants makes the stem of the plant strong and the color of its leaves fresh, so leave the window open in the morning so that fresh air enters the house.
Without the light of life is not possible
Plants need a lot of sunlight, because sunlight plays an important role in making plants green, so be sure to put the plants in a place where enough light can reach them.
Of course, not all plants need the same sunlight and some need less light, placing these plants in direct sunlight will cause the plant to turn pale, yellow, or dry. So, in the maintenance of houseplants, the light should shine indirectly on the plant.
Do not overdo it in water
Plants, like all living things, need a certain amount of water and food, so watering them too much and watering them at irregular and very short intervals will cause them to dry or rot. It is necessary to know that there must be one or more holes under the pots so that water can pass through all the parts of the pot and reach all parts of the roots. The presence of these holes causes air flow and allows the roots to breathe.
Consider the soil of the pot
In maintaining home pots, you should pay attention to its soil, it is better to choose soil that is mixed with some sand. It is wrong to compact the potting soil because small pores are necessary for air flow and oxygen to reach different parts of the soil. After a certain period, the pot must be replaced; This period of time is different for different plants; But in general, when the roots have reached the holes at the bottom of the pot, you should transfer the plant to a bigger pot. Also, after about six or seven months, because the pot has lost its nutrients, you need to choose a new pot. Due to the growth of the plant during this period, it is better to make the new pot a little bigger than the previous one.
Keep heat on a balanced surface
The temperature for keeping indoor flowers in winter and summer should be between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius, keeping plants at a low temperature will cause them to wither and lose their freshness.
To think of winter too
In the winter, the air temperature drops significantly and many plants go into hibernation, so if your plants seem dry in the winter, don't be afraid. It is important to adjust the temperature to maintain indoor flowers in the winter, so for warm Making plants is the best method, the indirect method; That is, heat the entire space of the room and do not change the pot when you see the apparent dryness of the plants and postpone the change of the pot and its soil until spring.
Low humidity
Inappropriate discharge and forming salt
Not giving sufficient amount of water to the potted plants and moistening the soil so that the water overflows and goes out from under the pot leads to the formation of salts that prevent the growth of the plant.
Disregard for plant pest
Aphids, aphids, and mealybugs are pests that grow very fast and can surround the entire plant in one day. If these pests are resistant enough, the plant will not recover.
Limit the flower to the pot
Growing more than the size of the pot causes the roots to wrap around themselves inside the pot and limit their growth. Plants in pots that are smaller than their proper size dry much faster, so the pot should be changed in the right conditions and a pot suitable for the size of the plant should be used.
