How Do I Choose the Best Crop Fertilizer?

Significance and role of indoor green decoration Indoor green decoration refers to the beautification and decoration of utensils and places used in accordance with the characteristics of the indoor environment, using ornamental materials mainly composed of indoor foliage plants, and combining people's daily needs.

In addition to the plant material's shape, size, color, and ecological habits, the indoor green decoration method also depends on the size of the indoor space, the intensity of light and seasonal changes, and the atmosphere. Its decoration methods and forms are various, mainly including display, climbing, hanging, wall-hanging, planting, industrial, barn and mini-type foliage plant decoration. ^[1]

Green decoration in the interior, of course, first need to consider some special ecological conditions of the bucket room.

The interior is a relatively closed space. In this space, an artificial microclimate environment is created. The ecological conditions are special, that is, the indoor ambient light is weaker than outdoors, and most of them are scattered or artificial lighting, lacking direct sunlight; the room temperature is relatively stable, and the change in outdoor temperature difference is small, and there may be heating and cooling air conditioning; Dryer, lower humidity than outdoor; indoor carbon dioxide concentration is slightly higher, air permeability is poor.

As a plant material for indoor green decoration, in addition to some flower-viewing and bonsai plants, a large number of indoor leaf-viewing plants are used. This is determined by the ecological characteristics of the environment and the characteristics of indoor foliage plants. So it is very important to understand the ornamental and ecological habits of these plant materials. At the same time, two aspects must be taken into consideration in order to unify aesthetics and ecology.

The ornamental nature of plant materials includes natural attributes and social attributes, but in most cases it mainly depends on the form factors of natural attributes, and the form beauty, shape, color, posture, etc. formed by it. For example, indoor foliage plants are peculiar green, or large, or colorful and distinctive.

The space that people rely on to a great extent affects the quality of life and work, so the green decoration of living rooms has attracted more and more attention. Due to the different functions of the indoor environment, the plants to be used for decoration and the decoration methods and methods are also different. ^[1]

With the continuous improvement and improvement of the quality of people's study, work and living environment, more and more people like to place potted plants indoors. However, how to carry out daily conservation after entering potted plants? People who know a little about indoor pot plant conservation and

With the continuous development of urban construction, the greenhouse effect produced by buildings is very obvious. People increasingly like to plant plants indoors to regulate the air and improve the living environment. Due to the special nature of indoor environmental conditions, plant conservation management is also relatively unique. ^[1]

1. "Light adaptation" of indoor plants:

The indoor light is low, and the plants suddenly move from the high-light outdoor to the low-light indoor growth, often unable to adapt, leading to death. The adaptability of plants to low-light conditions is related to the variety and body weight, growth, and tree age, and is also affected by external factors such as fertilization and temperature. It usually takes 6 weeks to 6 months, or even longer. Small potted plants take a short time, and large potted plants take a long time. In general, plants in the light adaptation stage should minimize the amount of fertilization and control the temperature rise. The shaded foliage plants are under shading conditions from the start of reproduction to the completion of growth, and are well adapted to indoor low-light environments and have a long life. ^[1]

2. Cultivation container and cultivation method:

Most of the plants used for indoor greening are planted in various pots, bowls, boxes, boxes, baskets, troughs and other containers, except for direct planting. Due to the different shapes, colors, and textures of containers, they often become part of the art of interior furnishings. Selecting a container must first meet the requirements for plant growth, and have a sufficient volume to accommodate the normal growth and development of the root system. At the same time, it must have good air permeability and drainage, and be durable. Drainage system should be installed during the construction of fixed containers. Moving containers should be palletized to avoid staining the indoor floor. ^[1]

3.There are four cultivation methods for indoor plants: soil culture, medium culture, hydroponics, and epiphytic cultivation.

Soil cultivation mainly uses garden soil, peat soil, rotten leaf soil, sand, etc. to mix into loose and fertile pot soil. Materials for medium cultivation include terracotta, perlite, vermiculite, pumice stone, sawdust, peanut shell, peat, sand, etc. Suitable plants are duck's foot and monstera. Hydroponics mainly refers to plants cultivated with water such as: narcissus, rich bamboo and so on.

Common epiphytic cultivation in the local area is the use of rotten wood, rock (mainly rockery) as supports to cultivate plants such as ferns and orchids. In the daily management of epiphytic plants, pay attention to spraying and moisturizing. ^[1]

4.Conservation and management of indoor plants

Indoor plants have slower physiological activities due to low light, and their watering capacity is much lower than outdoor plants. Therefore, it is better to water less than to overdose. Master the principle of "watering when you are dry, and watering when you pour." Generally, watering is done once every 3 to 7 days, and more watering is appropriate in the spring and summer growing seasons. The medium cultivation and hydroponics are different. The nutrients required by the plants are obtained from liquid fertilizers. Therefore, the water should be replaced every 7-10 days to supplement the nutrients. Before fertilizing the plants in the container, water the soil to make the pot soil moist, and then use Fertilize with rotten organic fertilizers or foliar topdressing, and master the principle of "thin application and diligent application". The foliage and summer flowering plants are fertilized in summer and early autumn, and the winter flowering plants are fertilized in late autumn and spring. Soil loosening before fertilization

In addition, indoor plants should regularly clean the leaves to make the leaves smooth and bright, make more use of carbon dioxide, and release oxygen. ^[1]
