The cultivation of potted plants is an art that can make your space more vibrant. Next, let's talk about the maintenance methods and some specific precautions for little fairy potted plants:
1. Maintenance method:
1.Light: Little fairies have higher requirements for light, but avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight. The best option is scattered light, which can be achieved by using transparent curtains or by placing the plants in a shaded location. Be aware that overexposure to sunlight can cause leaf burns. Position the plants to avoid strong direct sunlight in the afternoon and give them a warm and soft light.
2.Watering: Watering is key, keeping the soil moist but not wet. The best time to water is when the soil surface starts to dry. Use a soil tester to measure soil moisture, which can help you better understand when to water. Also pay attention to the water quality and temperature when watering. Use room temperature water and avoid water that is too cold or too hot, which helps maintain the balance of soil microorganisms and promotes plant absorption. Also, if your tap water contains a lot of fluoride or chlorine, you can consider using standing water that has been left for a period of time or using filtered water.
3.Temperature: Little fairies prefer warm environments, and the most suitable growing temperature is between 18-25 degrees Celsius. Avoid exposing plants to cold or sudden temperature changes, which can lead to stunted growth.
4.Soil: Choose a soil with good air permeability, you can add vermiculite or perlite to improve drainage. Soils with a high content of organic matter are also helpful for maintaining proper plant nutrition. There are also small fairy potted plants that usually prefer slightly acidic soil, maintained at 60-6.The range of 5 helps to maintain the health of the root system.
5.Fertilizers: During the growing season, you can choose a well-balanced fertilizer that is suitable for indoor plants. Keep in mind that excessive fertilization can be detrimental to the little fairy, so use it according to the instructions on the package. And apply at the right time during the growing season, do not over-fertilize during the dormant period of the plant. Using a balanced fertilizer every 2-4 weeks can help promote healthy flower growth.
Two: what to pay attention to:
1.Air Humidity: Guanyin lotus is sensitive to higher air humidity. During the dry season, the humidity of the air can be increased by spraying water or placing a humidity plate around the potted plant.
2.Regular grooming: Flowers wither, and when they do, they are plucked promptly and gently, which helps the plant to devote more energy to the growth of new buds.
3.Avoid cold winds: Little fairies are more adaptable to temperatures, but in the case of rapid changes in temperature, gradually adjust the position of the plants, do not expose them to cold winds, and try to avoid placing plants next to vents or doors and windows.
4.Watch for pests and diseases: Inspect the plants regularly, keeping an eye out for pests or diseases on the leaves and flowers. Pay attention to the details of the leaves, such as the color change or spots on the leaf edges, which may be the plant's health message. Careful observation can help you identify plant needs or potential problems early, take timely action, and choose natural plant pesticides. Clean the leaf surface frequently to ensure that the plant is better able to absorb light and reduce the impact of dust on the plant.
5.Regular repotting: Generally, every spring is a good time for the little fairy Guanyin lotus to change the pot to maintain a good growth environment. There is also a certain tendency of the flowers of the Guanyin lotus, which may be slightly biased to one side during the growth process. Rotating the pot regularly can help grow evenly and maintain the overall aesthetic of the plant.
6.Pruning moderately: Pruning modestly can help maintain the shape of the plant and improve ventilation, but don't overprune so as not to affect the growth of the flowers. There are also small fairies whose flowers are more delicate, so avoid leaving water droplets on the petals. This helps to reduce water stains and maintain the fresh beauty of the flowers.
