Many gardeners know how beneficial a warm shower is for indoor plants, but not everyone realizes the negative consequences of the procedure.
After some time after the shower, the plants begin to wither, shed their leaves and show in every possible way that they need help.
The reason lies in a small nuance that many gardeners do not take into account when directing water from a shower head at their “green pets”.
In some cases, plants may not survive the consequences of this procedure. Many flowers will take a very long time to recover.
The problem is that too much water gets into the soil. A shower is arranged for the above-ground part of the plants to brush off dust and saturate the greenery with moisture. But water gets into the soil along the way, which can then evaporate for a week or more.
The consequences are rotting roots. When the underground part of the plant is going through hard times, the aboveground part also looks bad: twisted, wilted or yellow leaves, a soft trunk.
Experienced gardeners cover the soil with a bag or other convenient method before showering to prevent water from getting into the soil.
