Don't do these 3 things when caring for flowers in autumn, no wonder your plants at home never survive
The cool breath of autumn has slowly entered our lives. Compared with the scorching high temperatures of summer, the cool air of autumn is clearly more suitable for caring for plants and flowers. However, as soon as autumn arrives, because of the weather we need to change our previous care methods, so that these plants and flowers can keep growing through autumn and still bloom when winter comes!
To care for flowers well in autumn, we need to make changes in watering, light, fertilizing and every other aspect, and different flowers will naturally need different care methods. But many times we unknowingly use wrong methods to care for flowers, which is not only bad for the flowers and plants but also wastes our own effort. So next, Huahua is going to tell you that when caring for flowers in autumn, these 3 things are best not done!
1. Repotting at will
Everyone who grows flowers knows that to keep flowers growing bigger and bigger we need to repot them in time. In fact, repotting involves many things to consider, and you should not just repot at will because the weather is cool or for similar reasons. Although many plants are in their growing period in autumn, their roots are still rather fragile. If we repot them at this time, we may very likely damage the growth of the whole plant.
If the plants at home need repotting, it is best to do it in spring, because at that time the plants have just come through winter, their root systems are fully developed, and the weather will keep getting warmer. Repotting at that time will definitely work much better than in autumn!
2. Watering only halfway
Previously, because summer temperatures were high and too hot, the amount of water given was generally a bit larger than usual. In autumn, as the weather gradually turns cooler, many people think the evaporation is not as strong anymore, so they can give plants and flowers a little less water. You should water less, but that does not mean watering "halfway". Watering halfway means watering only down to one half of the inside of the pot. Watering this way can easily lead to water accumulation, and the next step is naturally root rot, after which there is simply no way to save the plant.
3. Watering flowers with unfermented diluted fertilizer water
In autumn, because a large number of flowers and plants enter their growing period, fertilizer is indispensable at this time. Many flower lovers choose to make some diluted fertilizer water at home to water their flowers and provide nutrients. Things like fruit peels or willow branch water and various other diluted fertilizer waters all have wonderful uses for growing flowers. However, when these diluted fertilizer waters are used on flowers and plants, they must be fermented first. Unfermented diluted fertilizer water will have a very high concentration, and pouring it on may burn the flower roots!
We must pay close attention to these three points when caring for flowers in autumn, and not let good intentions lead to bad results! If you have any other little secrets for caring for flowers in autumn, feel free to leave a comment and tell Huahua!
