What To Do With The House Plant?

Keep in mind that no plant grows naturally in a pot inside a house should be made from time to time certain operations to keep them healthy and in control.

As a first step to be taken into account, change the pot 5 or 6 times a year. It was done so that the root system is kept healthy. We must find out first at whether the plant has outgrown the pot, that is, if the soil is not nothing but roots without soil. Q Sometimes its very appearance shows us, because it is disproportionate to the recipient, does not produce new shoots in spring or even some roots poke through the hole in the bottom of the pot. However, the surest way to find out is to reverse it. Hitting the rim, preferably by size on a hard surface and pull a little of the plant to inspect its roots. Before the change is appropriate watering pot with plenty and let excess water drain, then it should not be watered two or three days, so the roots must begin to explore the substrate in search of moisture. Despite the change of pot some plants, especially those of rapid growth, the substrate do not always get enough nutrients. Other times are too large it impossible to change, then it is necessary to feed them when they are growing or giving flowers. The easiest method is to pay them with irrigation water by soluble or granular fertilizer, placing in a container and then sprinkling a tablespoon or through a foliar fertilizer that is sprayed on the leaves. There should never apply more than the directions say in many cases it is better to err by default. Most plants need regular pruning, for some it’s simply a matter of hygiene and appearance, and just have to cut the dead flowers and dead leaves or damaged. Should always use sharp scissors, not rusty, and clean.

The material of “food” to be used with indoor plants is vital for some, while others thrive on any kind, all the water and minerals that the plant needs for growth are absorbed from the substrate through roots. Never use garden soil because drainage is difficult and tends to compact quickly. The potting has traditionally been an art and a mystery. The mixture may be in 3:1:3 or 3:1:2 ratio equal parts of ground-Surf-perlite or peat-soil – sand or compost-soil-surf. Always make mixtures with a hangover or improved land that give nutrients, peat brings water retention and aeration and sand provides drainage. Most commercial preparations are based on these components. If you are the highest proportion of peat will be suitable for species requiring somewhat acid soil such as ferns.
