Any experienced flower enthusiast or professional grower keeps several common flower-growing supplies on hand, such as: soil, fertilizer, fungicides, insecticides, etc., but among them there is one item that both beginners and veterans need to keep in stock, and that is potassium permanganate, an indispensable item for growing flowers. Potassium permanganate is a widely used broad-spectrum sterilizing and disinfecting agent, and in flower applications it has gradually shown its remarkable effects. Keeping it on hand prevents trouble. Many flower enthusiasts may not know much about what role potassium permanganate plays in flower growing, so today the editor will introduce it in detail.

Potassium permanganate can prevent and treat many diseases of flowers and trees, and it also contains potassium and manganese, which promote rapid rooting and sprouting in flowers, making it a sterilizing and disinfecting agent that serves as both medicine and fertilizer. Moreover, it is very simple and convenient to use: it can be mixed into soil, used for watering, and also sprayed. With it, growing flowers is safe and worry-free; at the very least it can prevent various root rots and pest and disease problems, and improve the survival rate of flowers. For beginners in flower growing it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. It is now increasingly welcomed by flower growers. The detailed methods of use are as follows:

1. Before transplanting flowers, prepare potassium permanganate into a 0.3%-0.5% aqueous solution (the color should be light red), then pour it into the flower soil and mix thoroughly, cover tightly with plastic film, and after two days open the film and sun-dry the flower soil until it is not too wet, then it can be used to transplant various flowers. This ensures the flower soil has no pathogens or insect eggs and ensures healthy growth of the flowers. 2. During flower growth, in spring and autumn use a 0.5% potassium permanganate solution to water the roots, which can effectively prevent and treat root rot, wilt disease, viral disease and other diseases of flowers.

3. During the flower growing period, spray the plant leaves with a 0.3% potassium permanganate solution once a month, which can effectively prevent and treat damping-off, seedling blight, downy mildew, leaf spot and other diseases of flowers. In the early stage of disease on branches and leaves, spray the leaves with a 0.3% potassium permanganate solution, once every 10 days, for 3-4 consecutive sprays. The effect is much better than carbendazim, chlorothalonil and the like, and it can also promote the growth of branches and leaves. 4. When taking flower cuttings, soak the branches to be cut in a 0.3%-0.5% potassium permanganate aqueous solution (light red) for more than 6 hours, which can promote rapid rooting of the branches and improve the survival rate of cuttings.
