Flowers will neither grow nor die. How to deal with dead seedlings?

There may be five reasons for stiff seedlings when growing flowers: First, the soil is hard and compacted, and the root system is in a hypoxic state, causing stiff seedlings; second, excessive watering causes water accumulation in the pot, causing stiff seedlings of flowers. The third is excessive fertilization, and the roots cannot bear the burden, causing stiff seedlings. Fourth, the quality of the seedlings is poor and there are problems with the seedlings themselves. Fifth, improper transplanting timing can also cause stiff seedlings. After the seedlings become stiff, the problem can be solved by changing pots and pouring wine.

1. Reasons for stiff seedlings

1. Soil compaction: The soil is hard and compacted, the roots cannot breathe smoothly, and water accumulates in the pot, causing The root system is in a hypoxic state, causing root rot and stiff seedlings.

2. Overwatering: The roots of newly transplanted flowers have not yet grown new roots in the soil. If you water too much at this time, the pot soil will be too wet, which will easily cause the root system to age, deteriorate, and stiffen the seedlings.

3. Excessive fertilization: Flowers that have just been transplanted have weak absorption capacity and are sensitive to fertilizer and water. If fertilizer is not applied properly at this time, the roots will be unable to bear the burden, resulting in root damage and stiff seedlings.

4. Poor quality of seedlings: If the transplanted seedlings are too old or too young, and the roots are damaged or missing during transplanting Preliminary hardening of seedlings will also cause stiff seedlings.

5. Improper transplanting timing: If you encounter severe weather such as low temperature damage or sustained high temperature during transplanting, it will also affect the seedlings. Growth and development, stiff seedlings appear.

2. Treatment methods

1. Repot: dig out the flowers from their original pots, Remove old soil and rotten roots, then soak them in disinfectant for about 3-5 hours. After that, it is best to soak the new pot in water for a day before use, lay a layer of gravel on the bottom of the new pot, and then choose soil that is breathable, drainable, and rich in humus for replanting.

2. Pour wine: You can pour liquor into the potted plants with dead seedlings to restore their growth. Pour the white wine into the soil close to the roots. Be careful not to splash the wine on the plants. The amount of wine should not be too large. Pour it once every 5 days or so. Under normal circumstances, it can be restored in about 10 days. This method works best after the Qingming Festival and before late autumn.
