Wet pot

In rainy days, it is easy to accumulate moisture in the flowerpot for two reasons: in rainy days, there is a lot of moisture and less evaporation. If you still water normally, the flowers can only absorb a small part, and the rest will accumulate in the basin if it cannot evaporate; The flowers that are placed outside in the rain will be drenched for one or two days, and the rain is far more than the flowers need

Solution 1: water less in rainy days, and the flowerpot should have holes

This method is mainly to prevent and avoid ponding in the basin. It must be watered less in rainy days, especially for the flowers afraid of waterlogging, such as fortune tree, Clivia, longevity, etc. the humidity of the air is enough. If you put it outside in the rain, the basin bottom must have holes, and the holes of large flowerpots should also be larger

Solution 2: pad bricks under the basin to isolate the water source

The flowers placed outside in the rain should not be placed directly on the ground. First, the water in the basin is not easy to penetrate. Second, contacting the wet ground is equivalent to soaking in water, which is easy to infect bacteria and rotten roots. We can pad two bricks under the flowerpot and expose the small holes at the bottom of the basin. We are not afraid of being exposed in the rain all day

Solution 3: turn on the fan for ventilation and try to dry it

If your flowerpot is wet for 2 or 3 days, stop watering and put it in a ventilated place. If necessary, blow a fan to the flowers to speed up evaporation; If it's serious, take out the flowers and soil, air them, and put them back in the basin when they are almost dry

Various flower diseases

After a rain, flowers are easy to get sick, mainly on the leaves. You have to be careful in the following situations

Black spot: in the rainy season in summer every year, black spots appear on the flowers and leaves after being showered with rain. It spreads quickly and becomes a light pole commander in a few days

Solution: Sprinkle wood shavings on the basin surface and spray medicine

Spread some wood shavings, cinders and bamboo charcoal on the basin surface to isolate the bacteria in the soil. When the rain stops, spray some carbendazim on the leaves, and then don't get wet. Put it on the indoor ventilated balcony

Anthrax: it is caused by insufficient light, high humidity and insufficient ventilation in cloudy and rainy days, especially the leaf observation flowers such as orchid, green pineapple, fortune tree and turtle backed bamboo. There are necrotic parts like yellow water stains on the leaves

Solution: clean rotten leaves and apply fungicide in time

The yellow leaves and rotten leaves in the flowerpot should be cleaned up in time. Some fungicides can be added to the soil and some cinders can be added to the soil surface. Watering must not spray the leaf surface, which is easy to infect. Just pour it directly into the soil. The diseased leaves were cut off directly, and the wound was disinfected with purple potion or dakonine

Powdery mildew: in rainy days, the air humidity is high. Mushrooms grow in many flower pots, and white silk flocs appear on flower leaves. Roses, geraniums, chrysanthemums, big rock Tung and Clematis are prone to powdery mildew

Solution: wipe sulfur and ventilate frequently

The sulfur soap at home is rubbed into powder on the cement, and then the sulfur powder is sprinkled on the place where the leaves are diseased. Be sure to maintain ventilation. Ventilation is the key whether you put it on the balcony, windowsill or blower fan. Take off the serious leaves directly and apply some carbendazim or dakonine and purple potion for sterilization

Fusarium wilt: some flowers wither as soon as it rains, which can't be stopped. For example, Clematis bar, the price is so expensive. It's really painful to die before a rain. I hope it's not too late for Huahua to say today

Solution: choose the right variety and scatter the plant ash in the rain

Clematis in the whole series withered less, followed by F series, 2 series withered most, flower friends had better do what they can when buying. When it rains, you can sprinkle ash on the grass and trees to prevent it from drying again

Rain attracts insects

There are many insects in summer, and it is common to raise flowers. Especially when it rains, all the small insects come out. How do you deal with them

Small flying insects: some small flying insects surround the flowerpot all day. In fact, it is because the soil is too wet. You find that the white insects in the soil are their cubs

Solution: treat the root cause with ventilation and kill insects with mosquito repellent incense

If you want to completely eliminate small flying insects, you should maintain a ventilated flower raising environment and don't water too much, otherwise everything will be useless. If you can't cure the root cause, you can also point mosquito repellent incense around the flowers, or break the mosquito repellent incense and insert it into the soil along the edge of the basin. The little flying insect immediately fainted

Scale insects: in summer, some flowers (especially fleshy) are easy to grow scale insects. Insects lie on the flowers tightly. The longer they grow, the more they grow. Killing them one by one is not the way. What should we do

Solution: alcohol insecticidal

For the medical alcohol (concentration 30-50%) standing at home, dip a cotton ball stick into the leaves and wipe them on both sides. If it's troublesome, you can spray it in a small spray pot. Be careful not to spray it too hard. The time is around 6-8 PM, and the effect is obvious

After reading these methods

Have all the flower friends learned

Put it away quickly

I'm not afraid of rainy days any more~
