Do the leaves of your plants turn yellow? Beware of chlorosis

Do the leaves of your plants turn yellow? Beware of chlorosis

Nov 12, 2019

The lack of iron in plants is not necessarily a deadly lack, but it does affect their health significantly; but, above all, its appearance. In fact, one of the main motivations when it comes to fighting iron chlorosis is the aesthetic factor.

Why do plants 'lose' iron? Iron chlorosis is a common ailment in many plants. This absence of iron is due to various circumstances, which do not have to occur simultaneously. In general, it is often thought that the lack of iron, and other minerals, is due to a poor iron substrate. Big mistake, since most of the time the cause is in the plant itself. The usual thing is that the plant is not assimilating iron, that it 'loses' it or that, simply, the absorption process is affected ...

Obviously, a decrease in the solubility of iron implies a lower absorption of it by the plant, which is fed through the water present in the soil. One might think that, by neutralizing the substrate, we would end iron chlorosis ... but no, a neutral pH would not necessarily fix the problem. If we think of acidophilic plants, a neutral pH is associated with iron chlorosis yes or yes. A classic case is that of hydrangeas, which need high concentrations ...

How to know if your plants suffer from iron chlorosis? As with most mineral and nutrient deficiencies, observable signs of iron chlorosis are perceived in the leaves. When a plant lacks iron, as new leaves emerge, their coloration will gradually weaken. The yellowish color is an unequivocal symptom of iron chlorosis, and a touch of attention for you to check the pH of the soil. It is necessary to differentiate this partial yellowing from that presented by the lacks of others ...

¿Todavía no limpias tu baño con vapor?

La suciedad sale mejor con agua caliente, pero con vapor se rinde mucho antes. El vapor de agua alcanza unas temperaturas y una presión que no se consiguen con la aplicación de agua caliente, lo que se traduce en un mayor grado de desinfección. Es decir, si quieres limpieza al máximo, usa una vaporizadora.

Carpet cleaning: do you vacuum or spray?

Winter is carpet time. They insulate from the cold and are perfect in our classrooms. If you like to use carpets all year, you probably already know how to keep them clean. However, if you are more than putting the carpets in winter, you may need to refresh your memory a bit when cleaning them. In any case, to make the most of the advantages of placing a carpet in your living room when the thermometer collapses, you should follow some basic cleaning guidelines. Carpets must always be clean, and that includes both periodic maintenance (if you have them on all year) and deep cleaning.

Easy to order and fast delivery
Helen
Great shopping experience, item was very quickly processed and sent, extremely quick from Spain to UK! The service is exactly as you expect to receive- courteous and trouble free. If there was one thing I would comment on is I wish more packaging was used to protect item as it was sent in a large box which it just 'rattled' around in and could have caused damage to the product. Thankfully the outcome was good. I would recommend to everyone, dispite this minor issue. Thank you very much!
