Everyone who has a plant has heard or made one of these three mistakes. If you haven't made one yet, you'll know how valuable a good tip is after watching this video. Our gardener Carol Costa shows three very common mistakes that, if avoided, can save your plant. Mistake #1: using the rule of a large pot in a small pot. A common mistake that comes from the enthusiasm of the gardener who wants to follow exactly what he or she has learned is to make all the layers used in a pot, but using a short planter or a tiny pot. If it's less than 15 centimeters tall, expanded clay, drainage mat, substrate, plant and covering layer, the famous protective straws, won't fit in a pot. When making a drainage layer, you need to use an inert material that doesn't retain water and doesn't deteriorate. That's why pebbles or expanded clay are placed at the bottom of the pot. When covering the substrate, the protective straws provide nutrients, prevent pests and maintain humidity – pebbles would only maintain (a little) humidity. Mistake #2: changing the pot unnecessarily Did you get home with that beautiful orchid and want to put it in a new pot? Hold on... if the plant is in bloom, enjoy the moment, use a planter for now and only when the flowers fall, evaluate whether it is necessary to change the pot. Before changing the entire substrate of the plant, check it first, using your nose. If everything smells like wet earth, grass, forest, reuse the substrate. Only change it if it has a sour smell, like beans or rice forgotten in the fridge. Mistake #3: watering with exact amounts The size of the plant, the amount of substrate, the size and material of the pot, the environment in which it is... do you notice how many factors can influence the amount of water to be watered? Before following that recipe of 200 milliliters of water or, worse, two ice cubes (what? Did the vase become a drink glass?), use common sense and observe your plant and the place where it grows. The best rule for watering your plants is the fingertip rule: rub the tip of your index finger on the substrate and, if it comes out dirty with soil, it still has moisture and you don't need to water the pot. If it comes out clean, it's time to get more water with the watering can. 🐌 🐜 🐛 Come be my student: https://cursosminhasplantas.com.br/pr...
