How plants keep water when they are not at home, and why plants can retain water in their bodies

Fill a plastic bottle with water, insert it into the soil next to the plant (dig a small hole in the lid) and drip irrigate naturally.

The important physiological roles of water in plants are as follows:

1. Water is the main component of protoplasm. The water content of protoplasm is generally 80 90, and this water makes the protoplasm in a sol state, thus ensuring that the metabolism is carried out vigorously, such as the root tip and stem tip. If the water content is reduced, the protoplasm will change from a sol state to a gel state, and life activities will be greatly reduced, as is the case with dormant seeds.

If the cells lose too much water, it can cause the destruction of protoplasm and lead to cell death.

2. Water is a reactive substance for metabolic processes. In the process of photosynthesis, respiration, synthesis and decomposition of organic matter, water molecules must be involved.

3. Water is the solvent for the absorption and transport of substances by plants. Generally speaking, plants cannot directly absorb solid inorganic and organic matter, which can only be absorbed by plants if they are dissolved in water. Similarly, the transport of various substances in the plant body must be dissolved in water to take place.

Fourth, water can maintain the inherent state of the plant body. Cells contain a lot of water, which maintains the tension (i.e., swelling) of the cells, keeps the branches and leaves of the plant body erect for full reception of light and gas exchange, and also allows the flowers to open up for pollination.

5. Water can maintain the normal body temperature of plants. Water has a high heat of vaporization and specific heat, and has high thermal conductivity, so the continuous flow of water in the plant body and the transpiration of the foliar surface can smoothly dissipate the heat absorbed by the leaves, ensuring that the plant body will not be burned by the sun even in the strong sunlight in the hot summer.

Fill a bag of water in a sturdy plastic bag, tie the mouth tightly, and prick two small holes with a toothpick at the bottom and put it in a flower pot.

It's easiest to use a drink bottle, make a very small hole in the lid, fill it with water, and then stand upside down next to the plant and let it drip irrigate naturally

Find a friend to help you water it.

Or you can only take the form of adsorbing paper into the soil.

But it's not as good as asking a friend to help.

And you have to look at what kind of plant it is, and each plant absorbs water differently.

Fill a container with water.

The container is placed slightly higher than the plant.

Then use a cotton cloth or a thick cotton rope to hang from the water into the plant soil as needed.

Capillary action keeps the soil moist.

1. There are two kinds of water in plants: ordinary water and bound water. The so-called "bound water", just looking at its chemical composition in meditation, is not much different from ordinary water, but the molecular order of ordinary water is relatively messy and can flow everywhere, while the molecules of bound water are arranged very neatly around the plant tissue, and the plant tissue is intimately "combined" together.

2. Chemists have found that the properties of bound water are very different from ordinary water, for example, ordinary water begins to freeze at zero degrees Celsius, but the freezing temperature of bound water is much lower than that of ordinary water. In the cold winter, only ordinary water is reduced in the plant's body, while the amount of bound water remains the same, so that the proportion of bound water is higher. Since bound water freezes at much lower temperatures than freezing at zero degrees Celsius, cold-tolerant plants can of course stand out from frost in the harsh winters.

There are more and more flowers and plants at home, but sometimes we don't come home for a few days when we go out, so the plants will be short of water. A few small methods can be done, even if you go out for a long time, you are not afraid of the lack of water in the plants. Let it live well.

Some plant friends will water a lot of plants before going out, they are afraid that they will go out and the plants will indeed have problems, and they have never thought that this method will cause disasters to the plants, so that the plants may not be short of water in a short time, but more water will cause the plants to be breathable, and even lead to the death of the plants. In fact, if we go out and have something to do, we can use the following small methods to provide water to plants.

If you go out during the time period, you can put the plants in a place with little wind in the backlight, which can effectively reduce the evaporation of plant water, and then you can carry out watering work to maintain the moisture of the soil. This method is suitable for short out-of-office time.

If you go out for a long time, the above effect is not so good, we can choose the moisturizing method, put the plant in another pot, add soil around it, and then water the soil and the soil in the pot, according to the length of time you go out, choose the amount of soil. If it's a long time, put more soil.

To wrap it, you can use moisturizing moss and put it on top of the plant's pot, and then water it thoroughly. You can also wrap the top of the pot with a plastic bag after handing over the water. Just cover it and leave a little air, otherwise it will not work if you stuff the plants like this, and put them in a cool and damp place in the house.

Cotton thread method, fill a bottle with water, put it higher than the pot, use a coarse cotton thread, one end in the water, and the other end fixed on the root of the plant, so that due to the capillary effect, the water will slowly penetrate into the soil of the plant root, which can effectively provide the water needed by the plant.

The towel method, place a water pot next to the flower pot, the water pot is slightly lower than the flower pot. Place an absorbent towel in the pot and place the other end of the towel in the basin. The other end is pressed under the hole of the pot, and the water in the pot can slowly rise to infiltrate the bottom of the pot and moisten the potting soil.

Adjusting the width of the thick cloth belt according to the moisture-loving situation of potted flowers can effectively provide moisture.

Automatic waterer, there is now an automatic waterer on the market, adjust the time period, and fill up the water. When the time comes, it will be watered automatically. But it is suitable for a small number of plant friends. Personally, I don't think it's necessary to use this. Those little ways above can provide moisture.

The plant assistant shares the knowledge of plants and flowers every day, making it easier for you to play with flowers and grow plants and raise vegetables!

1. Cover the medium.

Covering the potting soil with some water-retaining media can help the plants to retain the water, and add some damp newspaper, absorbent sponge or a layer of wood chips to the soil surface.

2. Cover with plastic film.

After watering the plants thoroughly, insert a few tall wooden sticks around the edge of the pot, and then bring up the plastic bag to make it a temporary greenhouse, of course, poke a few holes in the plastic bag to help the air circulate, and the wooden sticks support the whole plastic bag, so that the plants can retain moisture.

3. a pad. Prepare some fine granular stones, then put these small stones on the tray, then add water to the tray, the height of the water can not be lower than the stone, and then water the potting soil thoroughly, and the pot can be placed on the stone.

4. Automatic watering.

Place a large container next to it, fill it with water, and then pour the water into the potting soil with cotton thread, which must be watered thoroughly first. Or you can directly fill the bottle with water and insert it upside down into the potting soil, which can also achieve the effect of automatic watering.

<>1. Hydroponic glass containers.

Using a fresh hydroponic glass container, it has a simple design, it feels good to hang, and hanging it at home will add a bit of vitality. It is especially suitable for white-collar offices, pastoral living spaces, and floating platforms.

2. Indoor green plant system.

In big cities, there are fewer and fewer families with small gardens, so if you want to grow green plants, they are mainly indoor plants, but because many people don't have the heart and time to take care of them, most of them don't live long.

But this indoor greenery system can help you, it uses a mist to provide enough nutrients and moisture instead of traditional liquid water, and it is easy to operate and put it directly into the base of the machine, so it is very clean and easy to care for.

3. Negative ion hydroponic plants.

Hanging a bottle of negative ion hydroponic plants on the bay window can make the bay window more casual and chic as a whole. Looking at it in the summer sun makes you feel at ease. Not only can it be hung up, but it can also be placed next to a table to decorate the home space.

Fourth, creative vases.

According to Chengdu plant rental company, many of the vases have begun to break the traditional shape, began to be strange, this kind of vase is also one of the representative works of creative art vase. The unique shape makes people begin to imagine what the author wants to express, and some hydroponic plants can be raised in it, such as copper coin grass and the like.

5. Cactus potted plants.

You have seen hydroponics plants such as copper coin grass and pothos, so do you know that cacti can also be hydroponics?

Put a few colored crystals in a transparent soft glass container, and the colorful ones are very eye-catching! The round fat cactus ball is both beautiful and tenacious, and basically does not need to take time to take care of it, which is simply a blessing for lazy people.

6. Succulents.

Cute succulent and cute succulents are girls' favorites, and hydroponics is also one of the cultivation methods. Chengdu Plant Rental Company reminds that the use of hydroponic farming is to use a hollow tray to hold the main body of the succulent plant, so that the roots extend into the water through the void to absorb water, so as to avoid plant decay.
