With the advent of winter, flower lovers have turned their attention to the colorful flowers, among which the moon flowers are the most eye-catching. However, despite its intoxicating beauty in the flower beds, there are hidden "pits" that many people suffer from in the process of maintenance. In this article, we will reveal the four major disadvantages of the moon flower, so that you can enjoy the beauty while also have a more comprehensive understanding of the maintenance of the moon flower.
The moon flower, beautiful and delicate, has always become the primary target of various pests and diseases. This is because the young leaves and flowers of the moon flower provide an ideal breeding environment, and all kinds of pests and germs are hungry for them. Problems such as black spot, powdery mildew, aphids, and mites plague lovers of moon flowers all year round, which not only makes people think about it, but also threatens the beauty of the flowers.
To solve this problem, it is first necessary to keep the environment of the moon flower clean, remove fallen leaves and weeds in time, and reduce the chance of pest breeding. Regular spraying with pesticides or biopesticides is an indispensable step. At the same time, it is also an effective strategy to choose disease-resistant and insect-resistant varieties of the moon.
If the leaves of the moon flower turn yellow frequently, it is most likely due to insufficient soil nutrients or too wet soil. The lack of nutrients will cause the plant to not grow properly, and the leaves will lose their green luster and appear yellow. Moist soil, on the other hand, is prone to root rot, which affects the absorption capacity of plants and causes nutrient imbalance.
To solve this problem, there are a number of measures that we can take. First, choose a soil rich in organic matter and apply the right amount of fertilizer during plant growth. Secondly, the amount of watering should be reasonably controlled, and the soil should be too wet to ensure the healthy growth of the plant's root system. Through scientific maintenance methods, the occurrence of yellowing of leaves can be effectively prevented.
The root system of the flower is essential for the growth of the plant, however, the root system of the flower is also susceptible to rot. Soil that is too wet is one of the main causes of root rot. When the soil is left wet for a long time, the root system loses the oxygen it needs to breathe normally, causing the problem of rot.
In order to avoid root rot, we need to control the amount of watering to ensure that the soil can drain in a timely manner. Mulch can be laid around the plant to prevent the soil from being moistened for a long time after rain or watering. In addition, the selection of culture soil with good air permeability is also one of the effective means.
Frustratingly, many lovers of the moon flower find that the buds tend to fall off as they grow, preventing the long-awaited flowers from blooming as expected. This can be due to climate change, unsuitable conservation environments, or external disturbances during plant growth.
In order to reduce the shedding of flower buds, we can provide a stable maintenance environment during the growth period of the moon flowers, avoiding large fluctuations in temperature, humidity and other factors. Proper fertilization and proper pruning can also help to improve the stress resistance of plants and reduce the possibility of flower buds falling off.
Overall, despite the beauty and charm of Yuejihua, while admiring her, we cannot ignore some of her shortcomings. Through scientific and reasonable maintenance methods, we can effectively solve these problems and make the moon flowers bloom more brilliantly in the flower bed. Therefore, don't be deceived anymore, Yueji is not a perfect "pit flower", as long as she takes care of her, she will definitely become a bright star in the garden.
