Method 3: Do not use unfermented fertilizer

Many flower lovers like to retting some fertilizer by themselves when growing flowers, such as milk, leftover tea leaves, rice washing water, and egg shells are all "waste" that are very good for growing flowers. However, if these things are placed directly on the flowers It is very easy to grow worms in the pot, so before using it, we must fully ferment it before watering it.

In addition, in addition to full fermentation, it is necessary to clean up the fallen leaves and weeds in the flower pot before fertilizing, and keep the pot soil clean, so as to effectively reduce insect eggs.click to get!

Method 4: Maintain good ventilation

It is also very important to keep those annoying little bugs away from your plants. Keep the maintenance environment well-ventilated. Only when the plants are ventilated frequently can they effectively reduce pests and diseases, especially after watering or fertilizing. Gout can accelerate them. The absorption will not keep the pot soil moist all the time, which can effectively prevent plants from growing insects.click to get!

In addition, most flower lovers will close the doors and windows when growing flowers indoors in winter, for fear that the flowers and plants at home will be frozen. In fact, this is not to protect the plants, but to harm the plants. We try to open the windows at noon in winter when the temperature is high. A breath of fresh air can effectively prevent pests and diseases without causing frostbite.
