Can't keep flowers alive on the balcony no matter what? Auntie's analysis reveals it was too many seeds sown
Can't keep flowers alive on the balcony no matter what? Auntie analyzes it this way, and it turns out "seeds" can't be sown too thickly!
As people's quality of life improves, many now gradually pursue less in material things, and more people prefer spiritual enrichment instead. In this regard, keeping potted plants at home has quite a lot of benefits.
Potted plants have strong practical effects. Purifying the air is one aspect; plants can also absorb some toxic gases, such as benzene, formaldehyde and others.
Of course, many people like growing plants also because the process of cultivating them can have a self-cultivating, character-nurturing effect. Nowadays many people like growing plants on the balcony, not only common plants but also some fruits and vegetables. Vegetables you grow yourself are not only reassuring to eat but also quite healthy and hygienic.
However, growing vegetables and fruits is the same as growing flowers and plants: without spending thought and energy on them, even the easiest plants to grow will not be easy to grow well. Among all these problems, the most troubling is that you wait joyfully for your plants to grow, only to find the sprouts they put out are quite small. It turns out that growing plants on the balcony also has many points needing attention, and only by paying attention to these aspects can the whole plant grow more vigorously.
First is sowing spacing. For plants, many people sow broadly and cultivate only a few key ones. In fact, this practice not only has a very small chance of success but is also quite unscientific. The container you plant in has very limited space, so when sowing you must decide how much to plant according to the size of the container. For containers with a diameter of 20 cm to 50 cm, try to keep the number of seeds sown at around 20, and distribute them evenly.
As for sunlight exposure, this is necessary. For plants, although they cannot be exposed for long periods, the energy sunlight gives cannot be replaced by any fertilizer. And generally, the more reasonable the sunlight provided, the more vigorously the plants grow. Usually, just applying some weak, scattered light in the morning and evening is enough. Of course, too strong light will cause plants to wilt.
Fertilizing and watering are unavoidable. If you want to grow plants well, these are things you must pay attention to and take seriously. But nothing is good simply in excess; everything calls for moderation. The same principle applies to watering plants: water appropriately according to the plants' growth conditions, and keeping the potting soil permeable and airy is very important.
In fact, when plants are still at the seedling stage, no fertilizing is seen; doing so easily causes seedling burn. Usually you can only fertilize the plants once the leaves have grown to a suitable extent. Of course, fertilizing is only the icing on the cake, so do not take fertilizing too seriously.
On this, some netizens say that too much fertilizing leads to soil compaction, and this is quite a tricky problem. Other netizens say many plants are very easy to keep alive, but many people cannot keep them alive; the real issue is that the method is not right and not enough time is spent. The editor thinks that growing plants is about participation; just experiencing the process of growing them is enough. So what is your view?
