What is the reason why Qiandou's potted plants grow thin and tall? How to improve? Growth habit: Money bag likes warm, humid and sunny environment, and is tolerant to semi-shade, cold, drought and waterlogging. When the temperature is too low, plants will grow slowly and even turn yellow. It likes loose, breathable and well-drained sand. 1, insufficient illumination causes the purse to grow thin and tall.
The plant morphology and leaves of foliage plants are particularly important. If the plants are tall and thin with sparse leaves, the ornamental value of potted plants will be reduced. Although the purse can withstand half shade, it can't grow without sunshine. Without sunlight, the color of leaves will be dim, the spacing between leaves will become larger, the newly sprouted shoots will be slender, the plant shape will be sparse and not compact enough, and it will look thin and long, which will affect the appearance.
Improvement method: the owner can observe whether there is sunlight in the place where his potted plants are placed. If it is too cool and lacks light, it is necessary to change the maintenance position in time, let the plants receive sunlight as soon as possible, and trim the branches that are too thin and too long.
Lighting suggestion: Money bags must be planted with proper sunshine, especially indoor potted plants. It is necessary to ensure that the curing position can get sunshine and avoid the situation that the environment is too cool and the plants grow white. Although the purse needs sunshine during its growth, it is forbidden to be exposed to strong light for a long time. Therefore, when the sun is too harsh in summer, it is necessary to properly cover the purse, and temporarily move the plants to a place with light indoors to prevent the leaves from being burned by too strong light.
2. Unreasonable fertilization leads to thinner and higher purse.
Experienced flower friends will choose compound fertilizer containing many elements when fertilizing their wallets, while some flower friends are used to using single fertilizer, such as blindly applying nitrogen fertilizer. Although nitrogen can promote the development of branches and leaves, if nitrogen fertilizer is applied for a long time instead of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, plants will grow in vain, with slender branches and thin, tall and thin plants.
Improvement method: If the purse grows thin and tall due to excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer, the subjects can stop using nitrogen fertilizer, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to the purse, or use decomposed organic fertilizer to make the purse stem stronger gradually.
Fertilization suggestion: Fertilization purse must have balanced nutrition to avoid excessive use of single fertilizer. During the growth of the purse, decomposed liquid fertilizer can be applied once every half month, or special fertilizer for foliage plants can be used to promote the better growth of plants. Besides, money pockets are not cold-resistant. When the temperature is too low, plants grow slowly and the absorption capacity of roots becomes weak. Therefore, fertilization should be stopped in winter to avoid fertilizer damage and root burning.
Lack of pruning makes the purse thin and tall.
Proper pruning can not only ensure the beautiful appearance and shape of the purse, but also promote the germination of new branches, lateral branches and strong branches. If you don't trim the plants, the purse will grow wildly and grow long branches, which look thin and tall and extremely unsightly.
Improvement method: If the purse grows thin and tall due to neglect of pruning, it is necessary to top it first, cut off the twigs at the top of the plant, balance the growth of the plant, and appropriately prune some twigs and dense branches.
Pruning suggestion: during the planting period, the purse needs to be pruned 3-5 times a year, and the pruning time can be selected before and after Qingming, before autumn and winter. Common pruning methods include topping, coring and leaf picking. Prune some twigs, dense branches and dead branches properly to reduce unnecessary nutrient loss and promote the growth of dominant branches. In addition, the yellow leaves of some diseased leaves are removed to avoid the abnormal leaves from breeding bacteria and causing adverse effects on plants.
The above three points are the common reasons why the purse grows thin and tall, and the following points should be paid attention to when maintaining the purse: 1, suitable pot soil.
The purse will grow better in loose, breathable and well-drained sandy soil, and the soil is breathable, which can effectively avoid water accumulation. Therefore, we should pay attention to the permeability of basin soil when cultivating purse. You can choose a flowerpot for your purse by using a well-ventilated pottery basin or a purple sand basin. Xiaoqi even suggested using purple sand pots, which are antique and more beautiful to match. As for planting soil, humus soil, pastoral soil and river sand can be selected and made according to the ratio of 4:2: 1, and a proper amount of bone meal can be added as base fertilizer, which is more conducive to the growth of the purse.
2. Comfortable temperature
Money pockets are not cold-resistant. When the temperature is too low, plants will grow slowly or even stop growing. Therefore, when the temperature drops obviously in winter, it is necessary to move the purse to a warm place indoors for maintenance in time to avoid the plants from falling leaves due to the cold current. In addition, in the case of continuous high temperature in summer, it is necessary to appropriately cool the money bag. You can temporarily move plants to a cool place indoors for maintenance, spray water on plants and their surroundings, and take away heat by evaporation of water to cool down, which can also increase air humidity and avoid yellow leaves when the environment is too dry.
3, pest control
Because most potted plants in Jin Doudou are maintained indoors, if the indoor environment is too cool and unventilated, plants are prone to diseases and insect pests in a hot and humid environment. Therefore, in order to avoid the infection of diseases and pests in the purse, we must ensure the ventilation of the environment, often open the window for ventilation, properly water, rationally fertilize and enhance the disease resistance of plants. Once the purse is found to have signs of infection, it should be sprayed in time to prevent the infection from getting worse. In addition, all diseased branches and leaves should be cut and burned to prevent other healthy branches and leaves from being infected.
Summary: The common reasons for the growth of potted plants in Jin Doudou are insufficient light, unreasonable fertilization and lack of pruning. In the process of maintaining the purse, we should also pay attention to the management of soil, temperature, pests and diseases to make the purse grow more robust and beautiful.
