How to remedy the dryness of baby's breath, illustrated instructions for pruning baby's breath

1. How to remedy the dryness of baby's breath

1. Remedy for normal metabolic depletion

Reason: During the maintenance of baby's breath, some of its lower branches and leaves will turn yellow and dry due to its normal metabolism.

Measures: Cut off the dry branches and leaves, and then apply some thin fertilizer in an appropriate amount. Nitrogen fertilizer should be used as much as possible.

2. High temperature dryness remedy

Reason: The weather is hot in summer and the temperature is relatively high. Baby's breath may enter a dormant period and its growth will become relatively slow. If it is exposed to high temperature and sunlight for a long time, its leaves will be burned and dry.

Measures: In hot summer weather, it must be moved to a cooler place. You can spray around it to lower the temperature of its maintenance environment and allow it to recover slowly.

3. Remedy for excessive moisture and dryness

Reason: When watering baby's breath, you need to control the amount of water to moisten the soil, but do not allow water to accumulate. If the amount of water is not controlled during its dormant period in summer, the water will exceed its growth needs, which may cause its roots to rot and its branches and leaves to wither.

Measures: If it is due to over-watering, control the watering in time and loosen the soil to drain the water. If the roots are rotten, you need to remove the plant from the pot as soon as possible, cut off the rotten roots, and replant it. During subsequent maintenance, water it when the surface soil turns slightly white, and place it in a ventilated place to prevent water accumulation.

1. Side branch pruning

When the side branches of baby's breath grow more luxuriantly, they should be properly pruned to retain the branches of the main trunk. This prevents the plants from growing too densely and encourages new branches to sprout and expand outward.

2. Daily thinning

In daily maintenance, you can also cut off the denser branches on the plant and the useless, dead, and too weak branches, leaving only the stronger branches. This can reduce nutrient consumption and increase plant air permeability.

3. Pruning of dead flowers

When you notice some flowers showing signs of withering, you should cut them off in time. It can reduce nutrient consumption and avoid the occurrence of diseases and pests.
