Plants and Flowers

Insufficient air humidity is one more widespread problem at the care of tropical plants. Some plants of a tropical forest (for example, cocoa) demand high air humidity and can be successfully grown only in special conditions. However the majority of plants adapt to drier, than naturally, air.

Symptoms of insufficient air humidity: drying up and deformation of leaves; leaf fall, drying up of apical point and new buds.

The help: if you have just got a tropical plant and know about its passion for a damp air, cover it with a transparent package and gradually accustom to open air of an apartment. Keep up state of “patient’sâ€? health and if it does not object – do intervals between wrappings more and more, gradually passing to the usual room conditions. Do not pamper - if the plant has slightly faded, wait a little more and only then wrap up anew with a package.

It is useful to put a pot with a plant on a tray with water and haydite, and also to spray a crone in morning and a day time. It concerns also just transplanted plants. Moisture exchange is broken in that case, and only increased air humidity can support normal balance of moisture in leaves and stalks of a plant.

It is important to note, that don’t try in no circumstances to compensate low air humidity with often watering!
