How to care for small potted plants

1, check pests

Check whether there are pests and eggs under the stems and leaves of plants. These initial transplants should be placed separately from other potted plants 1 month to prevent possible cross-infection. Once pests are found, they should be treated with pesticides immediately.

Step 2 keep humidity

Overheated and dry air is not good for potted plants, and it is easy to make spider mites more active. To keep the humidity of potted plants, these measures can be taken: 1, using humidifier; 2. Put the plants in the same place; 3. Put the plants on a tray filled with water and pebbles (water can't drown pebbles).

3. Change the basin only when it is time to change it.

The flowerpot doesn't need to be changed unless the potted plant is full of roots and there is no room to stretch. It is best to change pots in early spring. At the same time, pay attention to the situation before changing pots, and then change pots when the soil is wet and dry.

Step 4 give the plants a bath

Bathing plants (that is, washing plants with hoses or showers) can drive away many pests. Bathing plants in late autumn can also remove dust from leaves. Be careful not to wash too hard, so as not to hurt branches and leaves. At the same time, care should be taken not to scratch plants when washing.
