When to water

Errors when watering occur quite often. Many novice gardeners, overestimating the plant’s necessary need for moisture, act with the slogan: “More is not less,” while being surprised that they, nevertheless, grow poorly. But the plants themselves tell us best when they need watering. Our job is only to be able to notice this.

Soil sample pressing index finger so that it sinks into the soil to a depth of about 1 cm, you will feel whether it is still moist enough.

Watering should be done only when most of the moisture contained in the soil has been used up. But you shouldn’t wait for the typical signals indicating a lack of moisture to appear. When the soil dries out so much that it moves away from the walls of the pot, then, when watering, the water instantly pours out of the pot and practically does not have time to be absorbed by the soil and a small part of it reaches the roots. To prevent this from happening, try to check the soil for moisture as often as possible. The easiest way to do this is to test the soil in the pot with your finger. Press with your index finger or thumb until it sinks into the soil to a depth of approximately one centimeter. If you feel that under dry top layer the soil is still quite wet - do not rush to pick up a watering can.

You can also lift the pot when the size of the plant allows this, and estimate its weight. If the soil contains little moisture, the pot will be noticeably light. In this way, you can check the water content of the entire soil, not just surface layer. This method especially convenient in relation to plastic pots, due to their low dead weight. When it comes to clay pots, then you should pay attention to their walls: their dark red color indicates sufficient moisture content in the soil. When the soil is dry, the walls of the pot become light yellow.

You can also determine soil moisture using the so-called “tapping method,” although it requires some experience. To do this, you need to take the pot in your hand and knock on it. wooden stick, pencil or fingernail tip. If the soil in it is wet, the sound will be quite dull; if the soil is dry, it will be more sonorous.

General rules There is no watering and each plant needs its own regime, but, simplified, depending on the needs specific types plants in moisture, watering intensity can be divided into:

Abundant watering.

Plants are watered immediately after the earthen ball dries out. Most people require this kind of watering. tropical plants having thin and delicate leaves (begonia, allocasia, heliotrope, fittonia), as well as some of the plants with leathery leaves (ficus, lemon, ivy, oleander)

Moderate watering.

Plants are watered one or two days after the earthen ball has dried out. These include plants with fleshy or heavily pubescent stems and leaves (columnaea, peperomia), with thick roots and rhizomes (dracaenas, palms, aroids, aspidistra), as well as those with water-bearing tubers on the roots (chlorophytum, asparagus, arrowroot) and bulbous. For some plant species, light drying is a prerequisite during the dormant period, as it stimulates the formation and maturation of flower buds (clivia, zygocactus).

Rare watering.

Plants remain dry for days, weeks or even months. These include cacti and succulents, as well as deciduous tuberous and bulbous plants that require a dormant period (gloxinia, crinum, caladium, hippeastrum).

Signs of under- or over-watering

With excessive watering, the ends of the leaves become brown with pronounced yellowing.

Based on a number of signs, it is quite easy to recognize when plants are clearly suffering from a lack of moisture. The soil dries out and moves away from the walls of the pot, tree plants the leaves droop, and in herbaceous plants, not only the leaves, but even the trunk itself. Other signs can tell us that although the plant is watered quite regularly, it still does not receive the amount of water it needs - the leaves fade, their tips and edges become brown, flowers and buds fall off.

When watering cold water Yellowish-gray spots may appear on Saintpaulia leaves

Excessive watering can cause root rot, the consequences of which can be very sad. When the roots rot, water stops flowing to the plant, as a result of which it behaves in the same way as when there is a lack of moisture. Therefore, if the plant is drooping, first of all you need to check the soil moisture, and if it turns out to be damp, try to carefully remove the plant from the pot.

The easiest way to do this is by “shaking” it out of the pot, turning it upside down and holding the pot with one hand and the soil with the other so that it does not crumble too much. If the earthen lump, however, does not easily separate from the pot, then you need to carefully knock the pot on the edge of the table. After removing the plant from the pot, carefully examine its roots. They should be light or even white at the tips. If they have Brown color and they give off the smell of rot, then, in this case, it is necessary to cut off the affected areas and replant the plant in fresh soil.

Irrigation violations

Signs of lack of water:

Signs of excess water:

  • Drooping leaves, loss of turgor in leaves and shoots.
  • Flowers and buds quickly fade or even fall off.
  • In plants with tender and soft leaves(Vanka is wet) they become lethargic and droop. In plants with leathery and hard leaves (laurel, ficus, myrtle oleander, etc.), they dry out and begin to crumble (old leaves fall off first)
  • Drooping leaves, with soft areas showing signs of rot.
  • Yellowed, curled and withered leaves with brown tips.
  • Growth slowdown
  • Mold on flowers.
  • Both old and young leaves fall off.

Hello everyone! I do not know what to do. Yesterday I watered my violets with diluted Schultz. Today it is impossible to enter the kitchen because of the unpleasant smell. What to do with this, will it disappear after the earthen clod dries out? I look forward to your advice.

Hello, Elena! Herself

Hello, Elena! I used this fertilizer myself before and was very pleased with it, everything except the price, so now I’m already using others. There was never any unpleasant smell from the pots. I think you should make sure that the smell is from them, maybe the source is different? If, however, the smell clearly comes from the pots, then look at the expiration date of the fertilizer, this may be the problem. What does the fertilizer itself smell like? What kind of soil mixture do you have? Maybe there was some kind of reaction, which, to be honest, seems very strange to me, but probably possible. Besides, are you sure that this is the real Schultz? How do the fiaks themselves feel? I don’t know if the smell will go away long time that I used this fertilizer, I have never encountered anything like this.

Watered the children with fertilizer

I watered the baby violets that stand on the window and the adult violets on the rack with fertilizer. The soil is the same for everyone - peat with agroperlite and vermiculite. And this is not the first time I water like this. But now this stench has appeared. She took the kids out onto the balcony. The date of manufacture is 2011, everything is fine with the timing. Schultz ordered in Russia from the online store "Fertilizers from Natalia".

For me, the worst thing is that if the smell does not disappear, my husband will throw away all the violets. After all, we have two children and it is unknown how the stench affects the body.

Lena, I use it too

Moderator

Lena, I also use Schultz and have been for a very, very long time. There was never any foreign smell. Violets grow both on a wick and on regular watering. I don't even have the smell of wet soil. Maybe the reason lies in something else. How do you breed it? Maybe a higher concentration?

It looks like you caused this smell yourself. Any fertilizer is not kept diluted - it is diluted, spilled, and if there are leftovers, then, alas, it must be poured out. When I water my violets, I first add 1 liter of water, but personally I do it as indicated in the instructions, and the violets feel comfortable, no overfeeding. Of course, one liter is not enough for me to water the entire collection, so I dilute the last portion based on how many outlets I have left to water, and if another half liter of water is needed, then I add 3 drops, etc., that’s all. Read the instructions for any fertilizer, stimulant, etc., it is indicated everywhere that the diluted solution cannot be kept for more than a day!!! And it’s been a month for you, not only can there be a smell, but it’s also poison for the violets (of course, let them endure this watering without loss). So calm down, but it’s better to replant the violets as quickly as possible, and then you won’t have any smell from violets in your apartment and you won’t have any reason to part with your violets either. I think that more experienced ones will also advise you that it is better to replant the violets as quickly as possible in order to get rid of the smell and to get rid of them from the last such watering.

Natalya, children of violets I

Natalya, I have already transplanted the baby violets and taken them out to the balcony. I also placed flowering ones there, which I also watered with this solution. It doesn't get any more pleasant to be in the kitchen. The sun shining through the windows makes the smell stronger. I already think that someone climbed under suspended ceiling and died. The smell of rotten meat is clearly felt. When I was a child, I had hamsters and sometimes they would run away and never come back, and the neighbors who lived several floors above us would complain about the unpleasant smell in the apartment. Maybe this is the situation here too. In the evening my husband will come and sniff everything out. The most important thing is to prove that the stink is not from the flowers.

Elena sniffed and sniffed everything.

Elena sniffed and sniffed everything. The children stood at the window. Those on the left had a smell of earth. But the rest don't. I came to the conclusion that the damp earth had absorbed the smell. It is above the violets under the suspended ceiling that it stinks strongly. Still, this is not a fertilizer. Everyone Thanks a lot for the advice! They calmed me down.

Hello, here I am sharing

Hello, here I am sharing the reason for the terrible smell.

2-3 times a year we buy pork carcass. this time they took half the carcass and it was very late to do anything with it (2 o’clock in the morning). My husband removed the bottom containers from the refrigerator. I put the meat in the cold storage. Blood entered the condensate drain and then into the evaporator. That's where it stank!!!

Maybe someone will think that I'm an alarmist. But when we're talking about about violets - to be them or not to be - here all means are good! So I started analyzing it and asking you all for advice.

This is how it happens!

Helen, hurray! Violets

Helen, hurray! The violets have been completely rehabilitated, I am so happy for them! What if you threw them out, and then the cause of this trouble was found out? How can we continue to live with this injustice to violets?

That's why it was cancelled. the death penalty to eliminate possible errors.

You see how everything is

Here you see how it all turned out. But it’s good, of course, that the violets most likely were not damaged and will remain at your home. Apparently, someone or something really came under suspended ceiling and caused you a lot of trouble and trouble. But for the future - do not leave the prepared solution, pour out the rest. Good luck to you and lush flowering Your wards.

Reminder for a newbie!

Indoor violet- one of the most popular in indoor floriculture plants since 1927. By 1949, more than 100 varieties had been bred, and today their number exceeds several thousand.

Rooting- possibly in water, in substrate, moss.

Priming- purchased soil or a mixture of leaf, coniferous, turf and peat land in a ratio of 3:1:2:1 with the addition of raising agents (perlite, vermiculite, river sand, crushed sphagnum moss.

Lighting— it is best to place flower pots on western or eastern windows. To ensure that the plant is evenly illuminated from all sides, the pots are periodically rotated. In winter, when daylight hours decrease, you can use artificial lighting- fluorescent lamps.

Care- real art and serious painstaking work at the same time, including watering, fertilizing, creating a favorable humid climate. Water Saintpaulias as the soil dries. The soil must be moistened regularly, but excess moisture should not stagnate in the roots. When watering, you must ensure that water does not get on the leaves. You cannot water the Uzambara violet with cold water. Feeding is carried out in a comprehensive manner mineral fertilizer once in two weeks. Saintpaulia reacts negatively to a lack of nitrogen in the soil. Optimal humidity air approximately 50%, temperature - 20-22 ° C, without sudden fluctuations and drafts. The leaves of the plant should not touch the window glass. Removal of faded flowers and damaged leaves is carried out regularly.

Diseases- distinguish between infectious ( gray mold, powdery mildew) and non-infectious diseases (stem and root rotting, wilting lower leaves, yellowing, spotting of leaves, incomplete opening and premature drying, falling of flowers) of plants. The causative agents of infectious diseases are bacteria, fungi, and viruses. To prevent infectious disease You should strictly observe the regimes of watering, temperature, humidity, and illumination. Non-communicable diseases usually arise due to violations of agricultural technology. They may appear in one instance and not spread to others.

Stomach cancer is one of the most common oncological pathologies, the main danger of which is that in our country it is rarely detected on early stages. The fact is that this disease often does not have pronounced symptoms at the beginning of its development, and the majority of the population simply does not pay due attention to preventive examinations. Therefore, stomach cancer is detected in the vast majority of cases at stages 3–4.

In this case, you should not rely on domestic medicine, which relies on somewhat outdated treatment methods with insufficient high efficiency and serious side effects. Even the best oncologists are limited by both outdated diagnostic and treatment hardware and available pharmacological drugs.

Therefore, if you are diagnosed with stomach cancer, you should not tempt fate - it is better to raise funds for treatment in Israel.

Chemotherapy carried out in Israeli clinics can significantly reduce the growth rate of neoplasia and the spread of cancer cells throughout the body. This technique can be used before surgery (to reduce the mass of the tumor), after surgery (to prevent relapse by destroying remaining cancer cells), or during surgery (HIPEC technique).

Types of chemotherapy in Israeli clinics

In Israeli clinics, systemic chemotherapy and HIPEC are most often used to treat gastric cancer pathologies.

Systemic chemotherapy is the treatment of a cancer patient by introducing cytostatics into the body according to a specific scheme. This can be done through oral medications, injections, pumps, or IVs. Most often, chemotherapy is carried out on an outpatient basis, in cycles repeated every few months (three cycles before surgery, three after surgery). One cycle usually lasts about three weeks.

Oral medications (such as capicetabine) are taken orally in tablet form according to a regimen approved by your doctor. Intravenous infusions are administered through cannulas, a PICC line implant, or a central catheter. Most often, both oral and intravenous administration of cytostatics are involved, since, as a rule, not one drug is prescribed, but a combination of them.

The scent of flowers is usually a complex mixture of low molecular weight substances and is a critical factor in attracting pollinators.

Individual floral scents attract specific pollinating insects. Flowers with fragrant and sweet scents are pollinated by bees and flies, while flowers with spicy and fruity scents attract beetles.

Pollinators are animals and insects that come into contact with flowers and then, moving from flower to flower, transfer pollen, which is how new plants appear. The intensity of a flower's aroma can depend on the temperature and degree of lighting; there are types of flowers in which the aroma can intensify in certain time day or night. Snapdragon, for example, is more fragrant during the day when pollinating bees are more active. Sweet tobacco is more aromatic at night and attracts moths with its aroma.

One of the sweetest-smelling flowers, the most popular scent, often used in products such as candles, perfumes, soaps, lotions, and creams.
