If you notice that the plant is not feeling well, you should begin a rescue operation immediately.

An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh said that you can tell that something is wrong with a flower by its appearance - flowering is sparse or absent altogether, and the leaves become twisted and "faded."

Often this behavior occurs after transplantation.

Sometimes the condition of the “green pet” is affected by working radiators, which cause the air in the room to become too dry.

There are many more reasons for a flower to wither, but today we are not here to list them, but to find out how to help a spathiphyllum or geranium.

In this case, “savvy” gardeners resort to such a proven remedy as activated carbon.

You will need only two tablets per plant. Divide them into quarters and place the charcoal into the soil at a depth of 2-3 cm, then loosen the soil.

Activated carbon is used to absorb toxic substances that may have entered the flower pot, as well as to remove excess moisture.

Finally, coal serves to neutralize soil acidity, so its use as a “first aid” is entirely justified.
