Overirrigation

January 24th, 2008

Overirrigation is the most widespread reason of ailments and deaths of pot-plant. Never water a plant, if the top layer of the ground is damp. Art of watering comes with practice. Water a plant “one tablespoon”, if are not sure in the needed amount of water - overirrigation is more dangerous than overbaking.

Symptoms: are similar to those of scarcity and consequently beginning flower growers frequently water the faded plant. Leaves fade, lose elasticity, turn pale, and frequently turn yellow from a bottom (the reason - rotting of roots and dehydration of all plant). Points of leaves can darken and dry up.

The help: stop watering. If soil is too damp, get root clod from a pot, neatly cover with a napkin and dry a little with a fan. Then plant in a pot put in a warm place. Spray leaves as often, as possible; but drops of water should not get on soil and the basis of a stalk.

Weak plant recovers hardly; the percentage of survival rate is low. Only correct combination of high air humidity and competent predrying of roots helps to rescue the plant.
