Hey listen, wait a minute, no one is judging you here. If you've come this far, the meaning is simple. The condition of your plants is not good. People all over the world bring house plants, but you probably have an idea of how many of them flourish. This happens in all of our homes. Houseplants require less maintenance, but they are also delicate. They get spoiled.
Do you know what mistakes cause house plants to die? Or what are the tips with the help of which they can be revived? Let us tell you some things about it.
1. Stay away from over watering
We all know that house plants need water, but over-watering can kill any plant. Which plant needs how much water can be ascertained by looking at its soil? If the soil is too dry, water the plant properly. If looking lightly moist, not much watering will be needed. Over-watering rots the roots of the plant and hence most of the plants die. There is no need to water every day in house plants.
2. Pay attention to the time of giving water
One more important thing. Even if you don't time the watering correctly, the plant may die. The right time to water the plants is either early morning or evening. If you water the plants in the midday sun, the water evaporates from the soil and evaporates. In this case, the plants get scorched. This is the reason why plants die.
3. Remove dry leaves of the plant
If the plant is starting to dry out completely, the best step is to prune it. Remove its dry leaves, and hoe the topsoil. After this add cow dung manure to it. Cow dung manure proves to be the best option for drying plants. Liquid fertilizers can also harm the plant at this stage.
4. Take care of the sun
Sunlight is also very important for houseplants. Many plants also die due to over-sunlight or under sunlight. If the sunlight is not received properly, then the plants start drying up. However, some plants do not require much sunlight. If you put them in the sun, they'll die. In such a situation, you should do some research on whether the plant present in your house wants sunlight or not.
5. Extra nutrients are needed
Along with fertilizers, your plants must get nutrients during the growing season. If nutrients remain in the soil, the plant will not die. In this case, you can take the help of compost. Be it germy compost or homemade waste compost, with its help plants can get nutrients very well.
6. Plants die due to excess humidity
You may not be watering enough, but the plant's soil should still be fairly moist. This happens when the soil of the plant is not self-draining. Digging holes in the pot, mixing some sand with the soil, using coco peat, putting some stones in the pot, etc. can also be ways to reduce the humidity.
7. Repotting is the best option
Try repotting to revive a dying plant. Give the plant a bigger pot so that its roots can spread. In addition, add materials to the soil to allow it to drain properly. At the time of repotting, mix either cow dung or compost with the soil. This will give more nutrition to the roots.
8. Eliminate insects
House plants can also die due to disease or insect attack. That's why you keep spraying insecticides from time to time. Medicine is also available in the market to protect rose, hibiscus and other such flowering plants from fungus. Keep in mind that whether it is medicine or insecticide; do not put anything directly on the plant. Dilute it with water.
9. Wait a month
Wait for at least one month after taking these measures. A new plant may be ready. Only after a month do you decide whether the plant is completely spoiled or not.
10 What if the plant is completely dead?
If the plant is completely dead, compost it. It can be used in one way or the other. It will be useful for other plants.
