It's almost the flowering period of gardenia and jasmine, many friends buy flowers in the market or online, and there are a large number of buds when they buy back, but after buying back, many buds have fallen off before they are opened, and you will find that there are many roots that have been cut off, which is "shovel."root”。

Tips:

If you buy potted flowers with a large number of buds, don't change the pot during the flowering period, otherwise the buds will keep falling off and the buds will not open normally!

1. What is "shoveling seedlings"?

What we call shoveling root seedlings means that the roots of plants grow from the bottom of the pot, emerge from the bottom of the pot and take root into the ground, and when they are grown and sold, the roots of the pot will be cut off and the potted plants will be taken away.

The reason why there are shovel root seedlings. This is the person who grows flowers in order to save money and trouble (saving fertilizer and water, and not changing the pot can also make the branches and leaves grow vigorously and bloom more), and the seedlings with the root system cut down are bought home, and the leaves are easy to turn yellow and the buds fall off. 2. Why are there so many "shoveling seedlings"? Why are there so many shovels on the market? It is because they are cheap, but they are leafy and have a large number of buds. It looks very good, but it won't be in good shape after buying it home for a while.

This kind of shovel root seedlings are also planted in pots, but in the process of raising seedlings, these potted seedlings are directly placed on the soil surface, and when its root system is almost full of pots, they are not repotted, and their roots are rooted in the ground, which is equivalent to becoming a ground plant.

After the root system of the plant is rooted in the ground, the root system will grow particularly strong, and their branches and leaves will also grow particularly vigorously, and then only need to add a large amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to the plant to promote their large number of flowers, so that the cost of maintenance and cultivation is relatively low.

3. Why do yellow leaves fall off? After this kind of shovel root seedlings are bought home, why do a lot of bud leaves turn yellow and fall off?

In fact, because the root system is damaged, most of the root system has been cut off, the plant's water absorption ability will be greatly weakened, and the lush flowers and leaves will lose a lot of water nutrients.

Everyone should pay attention when they go to the market to buy flowers, or when they shop online. After getting your hands on it, you should first check whether the roots of the bottom of the pot have been cut off, and try not to buy this. 3. Pruning and slowing down the seedlings If you have bought this kind of shovel root seedlings, then after you get it, it is recommended to cut off 0/0 of all branches and leaves, do not leave the buds, and keep 0/0 of the branches and leaves, so as to avoid too much loss of water and nutrients, so that it can recover as soon as possible, and it can also raise the plant well.

After pruning, the plant should be moved to a semi-shaded and ventilated place, which can give a little soft scattered light, as long as it re-emits new small shoots and new roots (new capillary roots grow at the cut root system at the bottom of the pot), then it proves that it has adapted to the new environment, and at this time you can take the soil to change the pot when the soil is relatively dry, and change it to a larger pot. Flower friends often buy these shovel seedlings for this large number of buds, and they are reluctant to prune them, which will only cause the water and nutrients of the whole plant to be consumed at once, and eventually wither. Tips: We can also use this method of raising flowers when we usually raise flowers to promote the growth of the root system of the plant. It is to place the potted plant directly on the soil surface, either on the ground or on the soil surface of other large potted plants.

This method can encourage the roots of small potted plants to grow down quickly, but pay attention to regular checks, and repot them as soon as you find that the roots of the plant are about to emerge from the bottom of the pot. Or cut off the original pot and put it directly into a larger pot.
