There is a way to raise flowers and leaves first, and raise leaves and roots first. Only when the roots are well raised can the plants grow strong and blossom more. The key water for strengthening roots is the common willow branch.
Willow bark is rich in salicylic acid, which can improve the adaptability of plants, resist various diseases, stimulate the growth of plant roots, and reduce the possibility of yellow leaves and rotten roots.
Usually take the willow branches with tender bark, roll off the leaves, cut them into small sections, smash them with a hammer and put them into a bottle, fill them with water and soak them for two days, and then use them when the branches sink to the bottom.
Huayou "Cherry ha ha 55" personally tested, usually directly water the flowers with the soaked willow branches, not only the root system is growing vigorously, but also the new buds are whirring out, which can't stop.
Huayou's "Ping-Pong man" also followed the post, saying that with willow branches to soak in water, Lucky Bamboo, like drinking "stimulants", had long leaves and jumped for 10 cm.
Willow branch water is used in the flower circle, but it is called "natural rooting agent". The first application in horticulture is not to water flowers, but to promote the rapid rooting of cuttings.
Cut the willow twigs into small sections, smash them and put them into a basin, soak them in water for two days, filter out the branches, and soak the base of the cuttings in the willow water for an hour.
Salicylic acid in willow bark can promote the cell division of branches and accelerate the rooting speed, so it can replace the existence of rooting agent by soaking a bubble of willow water before cutting into soil.
Of course! If you happen to have rooting agent at home, it is recommended to use a professional agent for flower treatment. Follow the instructions to configure it. It can also be used together with carbendazim.
In addition to watering flowers and promoting rooting, willow branch is also an excellent bedding material, light in weight, with drainage and air permeability, which can promote plant growth and prevent rotten roots.
Usually, dry the willow branches picked up, fold them into small sections according to the size of the bottom of the flowerpot, pad them on the bottom of the flowerpot at will, and lay a drainage layer of about 3-5cm.
Using willow branches to pad the flower basin can make the root system of the plant grow strong, the root is deep and leafy, which is suitable for the fleshy roots and flowers with weak root system, such as orchid, azalea, Christmas Cactus, money tree, bamboo, etc.
