Summer care for green plants: wipe and water them with this green water, and the leaves will be so green they glisten

Many flower lovers keep some green plants at home, such as schefflera, money tree, snake plant... these are very common, they can decorate the home and also improve air quality.

As summer arrives, these green plants often develop yellow leaves, lose their luster and so on, which greatly affects their ornamental value. Today Hua'er will tell everyone about caring for schefflera, money tree, snake plant and others in summer with this "green water," to make the leaves so green they glisten!

This "green water" is also something common in our daily lives, it is beer, because beer contains large amounts of carbon dioxide, sugar, calcium, magnesium and other trace elements. It can clean the leaf surface well, provide foliar feeding, and can also be used to water the roots, making the leaves more emerald green and glossy.

Specific method: prepare a can of beer, dilute it directly 10 times, dip a cloth in it and gently wipe the leaf surface, or pour it directly into a fine-nozzle spray bottle and spray the leaves, which can clean them and also makes dust less likely to stick. Once the plant absorbs it, the leaves become green and shiny, enhancing their ornamental value.

It can also be poured directly into the potting soil, but the amount and frequency must be controlled well, it should not be too much, watering once a month is enough, and after watering the soil should be loosened in time to prevent the soil from compacting.

Watering and care for common green plants in summer:

1. Schefflera

Schefflera likes a moist environment, and in summer it is even more important to replenish water in time and keep it appropriately moist, otherwise it easily causes dry leaf tips and yellow leaves. Do not wait until it is completely dry before watering; when you see signs of dryness on the surface of the potting soil, water thoroughly. Usually also spray some water on the leaves more often to increase humidity.

2. Money tree

When caring for the money tree, watering is especially important. It likes an environment that is both moist and dry, and it has a certain cold tolerance itself, so keeping it appropriately dry allows it to grow better. Water again when the potting soil is about to dry out completely. When the temperature exceeds 33°C, you can spray water on the leaves once a day.

3. Snake plant

The snake plant is a desert plant, so watering should be moderate. Better to let it be a bit dry than to overwater it. If watered too frequently, the leaf patterns fade, the leaves turn white and lose their luster. During the peak growing season, you can water a bit more to promote the sprouting of new shoots and the growth of leaves.
