A procedure called scalding is used to help plants recover from stress.
In addition, it accumulates the internal strength of the flower, promotes the opening of new leaves and prevents the old ones from falling off, and also prevents the tips of the leaves from drying out, listed the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
When performing such manipulation, you must strictly adhere to the rules - otherwise you will not help, but only harm the plant.
So, the water for scalding should not have a temperature of 90 degrees, but only 40-42 degrees.
To start, use water at 35 degrees. Next time, you can increase this figure by 5 degrees.
Flowers should be watered no later than half an hour before scalding.
The duration of the procedure should not exceed 40 seconds, ideally 10-30 seconds, and it should not be performed more than once a month.
After you give your plants a hot shower, leave them in the bathroom for at least 3 hours. This step, as well as avoiding placing the pot in a draft or near an open window, is necessary to prevent the plants from getting cold.
