Instructions for Revitalizing Houseplants
First aid methods vary. It all depends on the type of plant. To revive succulents such as cacti, aloe, or amaryllis, you will need to pour water at room temperature into a large bowl and place the pot in it for 2-3 hours. Through the drainage holes, the soil will absorb the required amount of liquid. To enhance the effect, place a wet sponge in the pot. Succulents will recover when saturated with water.
For the recovery of decorative succulents, especially chevron, silk orchids, or ferns, follow these steps.
- Carefully remove dry foliage.
- Water the soil in the pot with a spray can. There is no need to over-water the plant. The earth must absorb all the liquid.
- Once a week, once a day, spray the above-ground parts with a special solution from a spray bottle. To prepare the treatment solution, you need 1 liter of ice boiling water and 1 tablespoon. l. hydrogen peroxide or 2 grams of succinic acid.
There are several ways to revive decorative flowering plants such as Phalaenopsis, Anthurium, and Dendrobium. First, you need to assess the extent of the damage. If the flowers are shattered and the leaves are wilted, but the stems are still dense and elastic, prepare a steam bath: pour water at a temperature of 80-90°C into a large pot, place the pot on a stand so that the pot is not immersed in the hot liquid, and leave it for 2-3 hours. Repeat the process 5-6 times over the course of a week.
Restoring plants whose above-ground parts have died is more difficult. First, cut the stems with leaves and flowers into one-third or half of their length. Water regularly and spray with hydrogen peroxide or succinic acid.
Recovery of Fruit Trees and Shrubs
For outdoor plants, the situation is slightly different because it may rain while you are away and the soil is moistened with dew. However, if you come home and find that your fruit trees and shrubs have dried out, it is not reasonable to water them with several buckets of water at once. It is more effective to water gradually. To do this, you need to regularly moisten the roots and the soil above the above-ground parts of the plants using spray cans, spray guns, and sprinklers.
Important! To saturate soil that has been depleted during a long drought, water with a fertilizer solution.
As you can see, there are effective ways to rejuvenate plants that have been in a prolonged drought. If for some reason fruit trees and indoor flowers have been depleted, try the effective methods mentioned above and you will always have time to buy new pots, seedlings, and plugs…
