Due to the small living room space, we should make full use of windowsills, coffee tables, desks and bookshelves to place small foliage plants, such as asparagus, Gracilaria lemaneiformis and other meso-foliage plants;
Maintenance and management of indoor foliage plants
1. Lighting: The placement position shall meet the lighting requirements as far as possible. The hall and meeting room are required to be irradiated by diffused light or reflected light for 2-3 hours, and the light intensity is above 1400 lux; The office, living room and living room are required to be irradiated by diffuse light or reflected light for 1-3 hours, and the light intensity is above 1000 lux; The light intensity in corridors and halls should reach more than 900 lux.
2. Watering: Plants should not be watered too much when placed indoors. When they are dry and wet, water them thoroughly at one time. Don't water them In addition, you can also use a watering can or a small sprayer to spray water on the leaves twice a day in summer and once a day in winter to increase the humidity and clean the dust on the leaves, which is beneficial to photosynthesis.
3. Fertilization: apply 5‰ compound fertilizer water every half month or spray 1‰ urea on the leaves once a month. In addition, watering flowers with washed rice also has fertilization effect. For convenience, sprinkle several compound fertilizers on the surface of the basin every week.
4. Pest control: highly toxic pesticides should not be used indoors. Aphids can be sprayed with 1‰ washing powder or mosquito killing drugs (the dosage should not be too large). Powdery mildew can be wiped with alcohol cotton balls. If the harm is serious, it is necessary to move outdoors for symptomatic prevention.
5. Timely replacement and maintenance: If the leaves are wilting, yellow, falling off or dull, they should be replaced in time for recovery and maintenance. In the meantime, you can't let the sun shine directly, in case you are burned by the sun or lose a lot of water by evaporation, wilting and dying. If there is no shading place, you can manually cover the black shading net, with a light transmittance of 70%-75% and a light intensity of 1500-3000 lux. The air in the maintenance site must be fresh, but strong winds should be prevented. It is not advisable to break ground and change pots at the initial stage of maintenance. Because at this time, the organization and function of plants are in a state of lag, once the ground is broken, the root system will be damaged. Only the yellow leaves, dead leaves and diseased leaves are cut off, properly watered, and diluted fertilizer water is supplemented, which is gradually increased every week 1 time and 1 month, and then increased to the normal seedling raising application concentration after two months to two and a half months. When the vitality is restored, we will change the soil and pots according to the growth. Potted soil should be half humus and half sandy loam, and the base fertilizer should be dry pig manure, with a little bone meal and oil residue, because bone meal and oil residue are after-effect fertilizers, and the fertilizer effect can be slowly exerted after changing plants indoors. The bottom of the basin must be empty and transparent to prevent bad air and stagnant water from rotting the roots when moving indoors again.
