P:I have been arranging my own garden for 4 years. So far, I have not been able to cope with the three problems I have encountered in growing my plants.
1. The first one concerns diphenbachia and alokachi. Every now and then the oldest and largest lower leaf turns yellow, I peel it off, but after some time the situation repeats itself.
2. What to do with the stem remaining after the orchid fades?
3. Last year, throughout the summer, after flowering, the leaves of the pot azalea began to gradually turn gray, dull and fall from the bottom of the plant.
O:1.Dieffenbachia andalocase,from time to time, as the lower leaves leave, it isnatural phenomenonGrowth slows down during winter (and this is normal), and in summerat Lack Ingredients FoodPeace Lily reacts with browning of leavestotoo cold substrate , e.g. when standing onwindowsill in winter windowswithleaky windows
2.The inflorescence shoot of the orchids is prunedright under lowest flower .
3Azalea needs a fairlycool position(12-15ºC). It is served by a constantly slightly moist substrate, it cannot dry even for a short time - thenleavesandflowers fall For watering, use soft (calcium-free) water (boiled at room temperature). The plant is watered abundantly so that the entire root ball issoaked in waterExcess water is poured out of the stand. Flowering plants should be fertilized every 3 weekswith a special fertilizer for azaleasAfter flowering, the plant should be repotted, as the pot is usually alreadyovergrown with roots.
Azaleas are served flatwide pots providedwith large drainage holes. At the bottom of the deeper pots there should bethick layer drainageA special substrate for strongly acidic azaleas should be used for growing reaction. When transplantingnot be sure to loosen roots , even when they are compacted. The plant must be planted to the same depth at which it grew previously. Immediately after transplanting,shorten shootsandcorrecting the shape of the crown.Azalea likes to spend the summer outdoors, e.g. in a balcony chest, in aplace semi-shadedandshelteredfrom windRemember to moisten the substrate and sprinkle the leaves all the time.
Until mid-August, the azalea should be fed every 2-3 weeks initially with fertilizers withhigh content nitrogen, and from July onwards, a mixture with more phosphorusandpotassium , which has a positive effect on flowering. The alternate fertilization of azaleaswith fertilizers mineralandorganic(e.g. with slurry) gives excellent results. At the end ofof September, we should bring the plant to the apartment
Pale green leaves in azaleas are a symptom of a lack oflightorwatering hard with water . In this case, start watering the plant regularly with boiled acidified water with a fewdrops of lemon juice .
