1. Watering and dilution

Be sure to pay attention when growing flowers and fertilizing. Do not use too much fertilizer or the concentration is too high. If you accidentally apply too much fertilizer, it will cause the roots to burn if not treated in time. If you find that you have applied too much fertilizer, you should first remediate it by watering it 2-3 times in a row to dilute the concentration of fertilizer. If there are holes in the bottom of the flower pot, the remaining fertilizer can be drained out along with the water flow.

2. Replace the pot soil

If the situation is very serious, it cannot be remedied by ordinary operations, and the pot soil needs to be replaced in time. First take the flowers out of their original pots, then prepare new potting soil and set them aside. Rinse the removed flower roots in the running water. Be careful not to damage the main root. After washing, put it aside to dry, and then replant it in the flower pot. After repotting, do not place the flowers in a place with too much sunlight immediately. Place them in a ventilated and diffused place first to adapt.

3. Prune yellow leaves

If too much fertilizer is applied, it will cause yellow leaves. Therefore, in addition to treating the roots, you also need to prune the yellow leaves and cut off the yellow leaves that appear on them to prevent them from affecting the ornamental value.
