Tired of White Bloom in Flower Pots? An elementary way to get rid of him Forever

Well, how does this suspicious white bloom arise? Faced with one of the most common problems of indoor plant lovers, at first I panicked, but then, turning to specialized scientific literature, I figured out everything and solved it!

And it's worth starting with the reasons for the appearance of plaque:

1. Only rarest exotic pests leave such traces, and even then - they are found in open ground, so you should not worry about this.

2. Dry bloom, more creamy than snow-white and "decorating" in addition to the earth also the walls of the pot, is salt deposits of waterused for watering, which is taken from the tap.

3. A white fluffy bloom that looks like mold is specific moldy fungiliving in the upper layer of the earth and in general, plaque is not dangerous in itself. But it can become a provoking factor for the emergence of fungal infectious plant diseases. It also signals certain serious problems.

So, in fact, the third reason is most important. And speaking of problems, I mean the possible decay of the plant's root system. This can happen when watering is too abundant and water stagnates in the soil, and the soil is heavy and the plant "suffocates".

Excessive fertilization is also likely - after all, many minerals are a favorable breeding ground for all kinds of mold. So it is better to apply additional fertilizing with a slight deficiency than with an excess.

Realizing that a real florist should take care of his "green pets" I have developed a way to finally get rid of plaque.

It is really simple and consists of several rules:

1. For irrigation, use only settled and not hard water.

2. If the species or variety does not require otherwise, watering should be carried out only after the top layer of the soil dries out.

3. To provide air access to the root system and the substrate to dry out, the soil must be loosened more often, avoiding the formation of a dense crust.

If everything in the pot is not overgrown with mold, then replanting the plant is not necessary. But along with the methods used that I described, it is advisable to water the soil once or twice with diluted water in proportions of 2: 1 with lemon juice.

It can be replaced with citric acid by dissolving 0.5 teaspoon in 1 glass of water.

This kind of disinfects the earth from mold, but the technique is strictly suitable for plants that prefer an acidic environment - the rest can get sick from it.
