In the process of raising flowers at home, we often encounter the problem of rotten roots and yellow leaves of some flowers, and many flower friends may mistakenly think that this is caused by pests and diseases. However, not all flowers that have this condition are associated with pests and diseases.
Many times, the root cause of these problems lies in improper maintenance, especially when it comes to watering. If it is not watered properly, it is easy to cause damage to the root system of the flower, causing the roots to rot and the leaves to turn yellow. Especially for the following five kinds of flowers, they are more suitable for "dry cultivation", that is, the potting soil should be dry rather than wet. Frequent watering will not only make the plant not thrive, but also easily lead to root rot and yellow leaves.
Tiger thorn plum
Tiger thorn plum, also known as iron begonia, although it looks the surface, its flowers are unusually beautiful, brightly colored, and festive. It is also an easy-to-maintain plant that can be cultivated well even by people who lack experience in raising flowers.
It has high requirements for sunlight and is resistant to drought, but it is also not tolerant to waterlogging. When maintaining, it is important to avoid excessive potting soil, as continuous moisture can cause the roots to not breathe properly, which can lead to root stuffiness and yellow leaves.
Regular watering does not need to be too frequent, especially in winter, when the potting soil is slightly drier and more conducive to the overwintering of the plants. During the growing season, you only need to wait until the potting soil is completely dry before watering.
Desert Rose
Desert roses originate from desert areas, not only have beautiful flowers, but are also very adaptable to the environment, even in extremely arid environments.
However, drought-tolerant properties also often mean that they are not waterlogging tolerant. In the process of maintenance, it is necessary to pay attention to reasonable watering, the stem of the desert rose is thick and can store a lot of water, so it does not need to be watered frequently. Otherwise, too much moisture can cause root rot.
Choosing a culture soil with good water permeability and air permeability is key, but it is also important to avoid watering too often. Make sure the potting soil is completely dry before each watering.
Yushu
The leaves of the jade tree are emerald green, the branches are simple, and it is a very beautiful ornamental plant, which is deeply loved by flower lovers. However, some jade trees develop root rot and yellow leaves soon after the maintenance process.
Although the bark of the jade tree is easy to maintain, it is important to have a good balance when it comes to watering. Yushu is a succulent plant and is afraid of waterlogging, so it is necessary to pay attention to permeability in the selection of potting soil and avoid frequent watering.
In the process of curing, it is necessary to follow the principle of "no drying, no watering, watering is watering". Every time you apply fertilizer, you should also pay attention to the use of diluted fertilizer to ensure the normal growth of the plant.
Fortune Tree
The Fortune Tree is popular for its tall and leafy foliage, and it can add a fresh and natural atmosphere to your home. However, some flower lovers may find that the slightest mistake can lead to root rot and yellow leaf problems.
This plant has a slender root system and is prone to root problems when the potting soil is constantly moist. To avoid this, choose a soft, breathable soil and avoid frequent watering. Watering should only be done after the potting soil has dried.
Tiger Piran
The tiger orchid is a very beautiful foliage plant that is suitable for indoor viewing and also has a good air purification function. However, some flower lovers often find that they do not grow new leaves for a long time, or have problems with root rot and yellow leaves.
Tiger Piran prefers sunlight and a warm, moist environment, and should also pay attention to moderate light when maintaining it indoors. In addition, be careful not to water too often, especially in the case of poor ventilation in the indoor environment, too much water can easily lead to root problems.
When watering tiger piran, follow the principle of "don't dry and don't water, water thoroughly". Only one or two diluted fertilizers are needed once or twice a month, or a small amount of compound fertilizer is applied to keep the plants growing vigorously.
Conclusion: Although these five common flowers and plants are easy to maintain, they are all very sensitive to waterlogging. During the maintenance process, it is crucial to control the watering moderately to avoid the potting soil being too wet and causing root rot, which can affect the normal growth of the plant.
