Methods for maintaining humidity in indoor plant soil
Use equipment to increase humidity
Use a humidifier and use purified water instead of tap water to increase indoor relative humidity. This can maintain indoor humidity for a long time and indirectly help maintain soil humidity, because increased indoor humidity will reduce the evaporation rate of soil moisture.
Prepare a pressure sprayer to spray mist water. When ventilation is good, you can spray it directly on the leaves of the plants or around the plants. The slow evaporation of water vapor can increase the humidity of the surrounding environment, and some water falling into the soil can increase soil humidity.
Adjust the placement of plants
Place indoor potted plants in a location with high relative humidity, such as a bathroom or next to a pool. You can also place a few pots of water next to the plants to increase the humidity of the environment and maintain soil humidity.
Use objects to maintain humidity
Prepare a tray and pebbles. After the tray is filled with pebbles, add appropriate water (the water level does not exceed the top of the pebbles), and then place the potted plants on the pebbles to increase humidity.
Put a larger flower pot on the outside of the potted plant, leave a proper distance between the two flower pots, and spread sphagnum moss in the middle and water it to keep it moist (the sphagnum moss is kept moist but not waterlogged). This can continuously maintain humidity and prevent the pot soil from being damp for a long time and the root and stem from rotting.
Maintain humidity through plant care
Clean the leaves of the plants once every two weeks or more to keep the leaf surface clean. This can increase the transpiration of the plants, help maintain a certain air humidity, and indirectly maintain soil humidity.
Use daily life behaviors to increase humidity
When you cook, prepare food, or boil water at home, the steam released helps improve indoor humidity, which in turn affects soil humidity.
Put a basin of water on the top of the radiator or near the heating vent. The heat will accelerate the evaporation of water into the air and increase humidity.
Hang freshly washed clothes indoors, and the moisture on the clothes evaporates into the indoor space, which can increase indoor humidity.
Ways to keep outdoor soil moist
Prevent water from being lost into the air
Place a basin, small plate or small bottle that can hold water next to the flower pot, fold the gauze into long strips, put one side in the water and cover the soil in the flower pot, which can keep the soil moist. It is suitable for when you cannot take care of flowers and plants in time, as long as you ensure that there is always water in the water container.
Covering the ground film, the principle is to prevent the original water in the soil from being lost into the air, and it can also ensure the temperature of crops in winter.
Loosening the soil, this is a relatively simple method, shoveling the topsoil of the soil, cutting off the capillary connection between the topsoil and the lower soil, preventing water from being lost, and the upper soil is dry but can protect the moisture in the bottom soil.
Covering crop straw to absorb water and reduce the loss of soil moisture.
Keeping moist through other items
Putting some sphagnum moss in the flower pot can resist high temperature and dry weather, delay the evaporation of water in the potted plants, block part of the sunlight, and protect the plant roots.
