An Innocent Purple Violet

Well, you've been tired all day. Whether at home or at work... At the end of the day, I'm sending you a photo of my one and only violet to relax and take a bath. Relax, relax :) By the way, when you look at the recipe section, you can find the information I got from the internet about flower care. Love…

It is so elegant and so beautiful that it warms your heart, you say, here I am.
In the corner of the kitchen, right next to the glass, it starts with you, to the food, to running, to the chaos of life and ends the day with you again.
Your smile is laughing with you, it adds color to your color.
It's like he understands if you're so sad...

flower care
Where should we put lice in the house?

Let's say you buy a plant or you are given a flower as a gift. Where would be the best place for this flower?
Not every spot in your home is suitable for growing plants, growing them successfully. The chosen place should meet certain basic needs of the plant, the place where the plant is placed should receive the necessary light for the plants, sufficient humidity and appropriate temperature should be provided. Light, humidity and temperature are three important factors for successful plant growth. You should always consider these factors when deciding where to put the plants in the house.

One of the points we will always keep in mind is that if the plants are placed too close to the window, they will be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. Most plants do not like direct sunlight. Another problem with plants arises when plants are placed too close to windows. Especially in winter, the difference between outside and inside temperature is surprisingly large. One side of the plant will benefit from the moderate air of the room, while the other side will be exposed to the effect of cold air coming through the glass. Care should be taken to keep the plants on the windows long enough to cause damage.

Light

Today, indoor plants are mostly grown in greenhouses. However, this issue should not be considered as a change in the growth habits of the mentioned plants. Indoor plants need to be provided with an appropriate amount of light, as plants need light in their natural environment. Light is a very important factor for the proper development and growth of plants. When the plants in question are placed in a very dark place, the plant loses its healthy appearance. However, it is seen that they develop healthily when they are placed on or near the windowsill. This is why plants grow better against a light-colored wall and worsen against a dark-colored wall. If the flowers have to be placed in a dark place, this problem can be solved by using an artificial light. The best method for applying artificial light is the use of fluorescent lamps. Plants grow best when placed in a location with reflected light from another room. Even in a room without a direct light source, with careful orientation, plants can receive enough reflected light to achieve proper growth.

Temperature

Indoor plants grown at home, even if they come from greenhouses, always originate from the warm climate we have. Plants such as African violets and desert cacti require a lot of warmth and cannot survive when placed outside in the garden. Places with constant and frequent changes will be detrimental to them. The front door is always open to cold drafts while the heat is blowing away from the hall radiators. Such irregular temperature changes are harmful to the plant. The temperature in summer should be 5-10°C higher than in winter. 97-99. Ideal temperatures for plants are indicated on the pages, which are illustrated.

27-28°C (80°F)

Maximum temperature for indoor plants at high weather conditions
22-23°C (72°F)

Maximum temperature for the vast majority of indoor plants.
15-16°C (60°F)

The lowest temperature for tropical indoor plants.
12-13°C (45°F)

Minimum temperature for known indoor plants.
5-10°C(36°F-42°F)

Winter warmth for hardy indoor plants.

Gender

Plants take the nutrients they need for their growth and development with the water they absorb through their roots. The soil in the pot is relatively low. If it is irrigated with sterile tap water, it can absorb the nutrients found in the compost. After a while, the soil becomes poor or the nutrients are drained away. For this reason, plants should be given extra nutrients in the form of plant food added to the water at regular intervals, once a week or once every 15 days as specified in the plant care guide.
There are several types of useful plant nutrients. Along with these, the recommendations for use should always be considered.
Rainwater is more beneficial than tap water because it contains many nutrients.
Therefore, if possible, it is best to spray the plants with rainwater. This is not only beneficial to the plants but also reduces the unsightly white spots on the leaves as it is lime free. These spray stains are unpleasant, but they can be easily removed with “Life Shine”, the leaf polisher available in liquid, spray form. If it is in liquid form, the substance is dissolved in a small amount of water and leaves are wiped with this solution. Thus, the leaves gain a beautiful and healthy shine.
Spraying is especially important in the atmosphere, which gets dry in winter due to heating systems.
Plants need steam or water well distributed among their leaves. Excess water can cause damage. However, a light sprinkling with plant sprays will not cause any harm.

Appropriate amount of water

The phrase "must be kept moist" does not provide an explanation for the plant's need for water. Experience is required to know when and how much water the plants will need. Here your fingertips will gain experience over time and feel the difference between wet (water seeping through the soil), moderately moist and dry (finger not feeling moisture). As long as you follow this simple method, you can measure the degree of soil moisture that differs from day to day. At the same time, the bottom and bottom plate of the pot should also be checked frequently. The pot should be well drained and water should not accumulate at the bottom.

Suitable Water Type

In many places, tap water cannot be a good irrigation water. If the hardness caused by the lime in it is too much, plants sensitive to lime such as Azalea, Hydrangea, Orchid will suffer from it. The hardness of tap water can be lowered with simple softeners. Soft water can be obtained from rain water, refrigerator defrost water, or some water source. Harmful substances from water are collected on the surface of the potting soil. It is very beneficial for the plant to remove the top layer of potting soil and change the pot every year.

Irrigation by immersion

Soaking is a method used only in the summer and on large, shrubby plants in well-drained pots. It is to fill a suitable container or kitchen sink with warm water and immerse the plant in it. In this way, it is observed that many air bubbles appear during irrigation, indicating that the polluted air has been removed from the pot. After about 10 minutes, the plant is taken out of the water and dried for half an hour until no water comes out of the pot. Then it is placed on the windowsill. Fresh air will penetrate to the roots as the water is filtered and stimulate the roots. It is very important to make this request once a week in summer for the healthy development of the plant.

Holidays

How will your plants be taken care of when you go on vacation? It is a problem faced by many. It is not enough to leave the flowers and wait for them to be well. Many plants can be taken to the garden in the summer. It is inserted into the soil so that the edge of the pot remains under the soil. This prevents the soil in the pot from drying out. If you have to leave your plants at home, you can benefit from many innovations that will provide the plants with nutrients and water for several weeks. An invention made of water-absorbing foam, which is a kind of plant container, also contains nutrients.
In the old-fashioned way, plants are placed on the edge of the bath and each plant is slowly but regularly supplied with water by means of absorbent woolen threads. A similar system can be installed anywhere with a large bucket or bowl. However, it should be kept in mind that plants should not be kept in an overheated room with direct sunlight when not at home.

Suggestions

Flower Bulbs on Gravel: Narcissus and Hyacintus bulbs that bloom in November-December are placed in the planting site prepared with pebbles at the end of September. If this is a glass bowl, it is possible to watch the rooting of the plant.

Lime spots on leaves: This is caused by spraying large amounts of chalky water. However, these stains can be removed with spray or liquid leaf polishers.

Cleaning the leaves: Over time, tpz layers form on the leaves of ornamental plants. Since these dusts prevent the closing of the leaf pores and thus preventing respiration, disruptions occur in the life functions of the plant. In order to eliminate such problems, the leaves should be cleaned with lime-free water at room temperature with the help of a sponge.

Soap and Alcohol: A solution is obtained by mixing 24 gr soap, 1 liter of water and 10 cc alcohol. This mixture is an effective remedy that is easily prepared at home. It can be used against aphids that cause leaf curl and deformity by absorbing the sap of the plants.

Relocation: Frequent relocation of plants is extremely inconvenient. When placing the plants, the place where they can stay for a long time should be considered. It can cause inconveniences such as the shedding of leaves and buds.

Irrigation: Cold water can cause damage to plants such as leaf spots, tissue and root rot. Irrigation should generally be done with lime-free water at room temperature.

Dirty pots: They are suitable growth sites of plant disease agents. Whether the pot is plastic or soil, it should be thoroughly cleaned when emptied. It should be brushed and rinsed with hot water containing soda.

How to support climbing plants: Some climbing plants have a strong claw on the wall. Some species require assistance to climb. This can be helped by mounting screws on the wall and attaching the shoots to them with thin wires. You can stretch wire on the wall, put wooden poles. However, it should not be forgotten that the plant should receive sufficient light in the arrangement.

Other types of support: Some small plants are mounted and supported by an iron circle in the pot. Iron circle is very suitable for plants with thin shoots such as Stephanotis, Ho-ya carnosa. But the Philo-dendron needs a bigger boost. In supporting such plants; A plastic pipe covered with moss or sponge can be used. The algae should be tied to the pipe with nylon threads and wetted from time to time. Thus, the aerial roots of the plant will get into the moss and cling to the support.

changing pots

Changing pots is not difficult as long as certain rules are followed.
One of the points to be considered in changing the pot is related to the physiological state of the plant. Visible slowdown of growth, pale plant color (except disease), such as roots coming out of the holes in the pot. Another important issue is related to the pots to be changed. If the pot is new, it should be kept in lime-free water for 24 hours before it is used, and it should be completely absorbed. This rule applies to earthen pots. Old pots, on the other hand, should be used after thoroughly cleaning the inside and outside with a brush under water. One of the basic rules is to have good pot drainage. Accumulation of water at the bottom of the pot will cause root rot. However, a simple drainage (regulating the flow of water) with broken pot pieces will eliminate any problems that may arise.
As for the replacement process; The plant in the pot to be changed is taken from the soil surface between the ring finger and index finger of the left hand, the pot is held firmly and turned over. One side of the pot is gently tapped on a hard place, so that the plant comes out of the pot freely. After a few pot shards are placed on the water drainage hole at the bottom of the new pot, 3 cm of fresh soil is placed on it. After shaking the old soil from the roots of the plant, it is placed in the middle of the pot. The remaining space should be filled with fresh soil in such a way that there is a 1-2 cm gap at the top of the pot and the soil should be compacted by hitting a hard place. After the replacement process is over, water is given until the soil is completely moist and placed in a bright, warm place without sunlight so that the roots adapt to their new environment.
Aeration by loosening is also important, as is changing the potting soil. A slightly pointed wooden stick can be used for this process. Care should be taken not to damage the roots.

Pruning

Most indoor plants stop their growth after winter peeling. The rest period ends in February and they wake up for a new growing season. Pruning is necessary in order to ensure that the stems are woody and branching, starting from the lower parts of the hall plants. Some plants grow very tall, others transversely. With careful pruning, they can regain their natural shape. Pruning is usually done in the spring. Some plants are pruned after the flowers have passed. By taking soft top shoots to weaken the upper shoots that develop faster during the growth period, better development of the side branches and more abundant flowering are provided. At the same time, the blooming flowers on the plant should be cut together with their stems. It can also be taken from pruning parts in steel. As long as it is done correctly, it will not cause any harm to the plant, and it gives a better chance of development to continued growth. Tools to be used in pruning should be sharp. Otherwise, unhealed wounds will rot the plant and cause them to die.
Bonsai: The most striking feature of this culture, which is one of the Japanese and Chinese customs; It is a miniature model of a large tree that has completed its development and has all the characteristics of a large tree in terms of leafing and flowering. Occasional pruning is necessary to maintain its small appearance. It should be kept in a bright, cool environment and should be moistened by spraying water.
