Potted plants are mostly grown by the elderly at home, but the pots grown in summer are the most prone to problems, because summer is hot and when watering, people always want to give a little more, afraid the plants will lack water. So many flower lovers simply cannot control their watering hand and always let the flowers soak in a "hot spring," and before they know it, the roots have rotted. But my mother-in-law has a clever trick for growing flowers. Let's take a look!

My mother-in-law has been growing potted plants for some years. To deal with root rot and yellow leaves, she has her own set of solutions that are very simple and effective to carry out. Take this money tree for example. It had root rot, and since it was not very serious, she used a sterilized knife to cut off the rotten part. If it is serious, you can cut off all the roots. After treating the wound, when repotting, you must pay special attention to the soil mix.

Before potting each of the potted plants my mother-in-law grows, she lays a layer of broken brick pieces at the bottom of the pot. Another potting material she insists on using is pine cones. The pine cones must be dried in the sun before use. Then she mixes leaf mold and river sand and other materials to plant the greenery. This kind of potting soil mix has very good air permeability, so no matter how you water, the roots will not soak, so the potted plants only grow better and better.

If you really cannot find pine cones, you can use nut shells instead, which also works very well.

The clivia my mother-in-law just bought this year developed root rot, because it was not repotted after buying it. She planned to repot it after growing it for a year, but unexpectedly the potting soil became compacted and the clivia's leaves grew smaller and smaller. Later, after repotting it, using pine cones to line the bottom of the pot, and changing the soil, this clivia bloomed not long after. This method works every time. If your potted plants look listless, you can use this method to repot them, and I guarantee your potted plants will not rot at the roots, will not have yellow leaves, will bloom one round after another, and will have thick, lush green leaves!
