Indoor floriculture brings not only a lot of positive emotions, but also some benefit. Some plants that are traditionally grown indoors can be used for medicinal purposes, the smell of citrus fruits has a tonic effect, and ficuses, dracaena and dieffenbachia purify the air. Unfortunately, indoor flowers, like any living organisms, are susceptible to disease. However, you can try to save the plant by noticing its deteriorating condition in time.
It is necessary
- - charcoal;
- - "Epin-extra";
- - soil mixture.
Instructions
Step 1
The deterioration of the condition of a houseplant can be caused by stress due to the rapid change in conditions. This happens when at the end of summer the plants are transferred from the balcony to the room or, conversely, they are moved to the open air in the spring. At the same time, cytus and ficuses can shed their leaves. Hibiscus and ficus can shed their leaves by simply moving around the room and changing light conditions.
Step 2
In order for the plant to survive a stressful situation without loss, the conditions of maintenance should be changed gradually. When moving indoor flowers outdoors, they will need to be shaded from too bright light. This is especially true for orchids that need a decrease in the night temperature to set flower buds.
Step 3
If it was not possible to mitigate the stressful situation for the plant, spraying with Epina-extra solution will help. Five liters of soft water will require one ampoule of this drug.
Step 4
One of the many reasons that the plant has to be saved is non-compliance with agricultural technology: excessive moisture, sometimes combined with hypothermia of the roots and lack of light. Most often, succulents, dracaena and dieffenbachia suffer from this.
Step 5
You can try to save the plant by limiting watering and providing additional lighting. If the flower stands on a cold windowsill in winter, it is worth placing it on a layer of insulating material, which is a good choice for packing foam.
Step 6
If, due to excessive watering, the roots of the plant have rotted, you will need to transplant the plant into new soil, cutting off the damaged roots. Powder the cut with charcoal after pruning. You can add a small amount of charcoal to your new potting mix.
Step 7
It may happen that the deplorable state of the plant was noticed too late, and the flower completely lost its roots. In such a situation, you can try to save what is left. Cut off the healthy part of the stem with a sharp knife, dry the cut and sprinkle it with activated charcoal. The resulting cuttings can be rooted, depending on the type of plant, in water, in wet sand or perlite.
Step 8
From the shoots of fat women, you can gently break off a few leaves and spread them on the surface of the moistened soil. Even if large cuttings do not take root, you will get some young plants from leaf cuttings.
Step 9
Cacti that have rotted due to waterlogging can be saved by cutting the plant to healthy tissue. Grind the cut lightly if the size of the rest of the plant allows it, and dry it for a few days. To root, place the cutting vertically in a container with a layer of crumpled loose paper at the bottom. To prevent the cuttings from stretching, place them in a well-lit place.
