Depending on the composition and method of obtaining fertilizers are divided into groups:

  • organic;
  • mineral;
  • organo-mineral.

Mineral fertilizers are fertilizers that are chemically obtained and contain complex chemical compounds of inorganic nature. They are used as starter fertilizers when planting plants, as well as for top dressing during the growing season. Mineral fertilizers, in turn, are divided into:

Phosphorus fertilizers. Phosphorus contributes to the formation of resistance in plants to drought and frost. Superphosphate, Superphosphate double.

Nitrogen fertilizers. Nitrogen is the building block of plant cells. It stimulates the development of the green mass of the plant. Fertilizers that contain nitrogen in their composition are recommended to be applied in spring and until mid-summer. From the second half of summer, plants need to be prepared for winter, during this period it is important to fertilize with fertilizers that contain phosphorus and potassium. Saltpeter, Carbamide, Carbon ammonium salt.

potassium fertilizers. Potassium increases the resistance of plants to frost and drought, stimulates the formation of a friendly fruit set and long flowering in ornamental plants. You can buy potash fertilizers in our online store.

Microfertilizers. This is a kind of mineral fertilizers that contain trace elements in their composition: boron, zinc, manganese, magnesium, copper, etc. The need of plants for microfertilizers is extremely high. For example, processing a strawberry plantation with microfertilizers containing boron helps to lay berry buds for the next season. The most popular microfertilizers Helatin-F.

Organic fertilizers - derived from a natural recycling process organic matter. Organic fertilizers improve the structure of the soil, make it looser, activate the vital activity of beneficial microorganisms in the soil. We recommend using organic fertilizers as top dressing during the growing season. Humisol, Humipas.

Organo-mineral fertilizers - combine both organic and mineral components. The most popular representatives of this category: Agrolife and Zeolorg. Known cases cohabitation of champignons with orchids, klerodendrum, and indoor cereal.

Mushrooms appeared in pots with flowers, bright yellow ones grow, small yellow formations are visible on the surface of the earth. First, on hibiscus, I decided that I flooded it, but recently a healthy one has grown on dracaena, which, in the southern sun, almost without watering (grows the top). What to do? Etch the earth with something? Or are they harmless? Pulled my hibiscus out of the ground and found the roots to be healthy. I tried to shake off the old earth, spilled the pot and vermiculite with boiling water, planted it in the new earth. Can you do without a transplant? Help good people

Mushrooms in a flower pot:: forum - indoor and on forum.bestflowers.ru. white_lily, it just depends on the earth. during manufacture, the soil was poorly processed, mushrooms remained, which.

Yes, a miracle ... Today I found a mushroom in a pot with a fat woman. Bright yellow with a hat. Took it out of fright and threw it away. I started looking for information on the Internet, they write different things everywhere ... I went to water the flowers in the loggia (located in a completely different room), and THERE ... Two more mushrooms are completely different The other day it was cloudy for a couple of days, the earth dried out for a long time. Yes, even for the whole day turned off the water in the whole city. I had to water the flowers with hundred-year-old bottled water (I always keep it in reserve). Here is a miracle in pots for you. I concluded that it does not depend on the earth. And mushrooms don’t seem to need light at all, so if I find phytosporin, I’ll shed the soil, you never know what to expect from these guests ...

So the big problem is that I can't remove the mycelium. I removed about 5-7 cm of soil and covered it with other soil. They were gone for about three weeks, then they reappeared. I suspect that the earth is to blame for this but ..., I have other flowers with the same soil and everything is in order there.

Is the only way out - is to completely change the land? I really don’t want to do this, because I transplanted them half a year ago. Maybe there is some way not to replant and not damage the flowers? I don't know much about floriculture. Help with advice, please.

interesting facts from the big encyclopedia about mushrooms:

"Love till death"

This saying, in the minds of most of us, refers to the relationship between two people, or sometimes a dog and a human. But it is also suitable for describing the symbiotic relationship with the tree, which is found in some species of fungi. An experienced mushroom picker only benefits that a boletus can always be found under a birch, under an aspen, and, for example, a larch grows exclusively under a larch. Otherwise, these relationships "perceive" fruiting body mushroom. It regularly throws spores into the atmosphere, a kind of microscopic messengers that are looking for a partner, since only in interaction with its roots can create a full-fledged mycelium. Some mushrooms in their "fidelity" go so far that they show interest in not every pine tree. Cedar oiler (Suillus plorans) and oiler (Suillus placidus) can only grow under pines with five needles in one bunch. In Europe it is cedar pine, and in North America- its relative, Weymouth pine. Just think, the spores of two little ones are flying in the air and looking for their cherished five-needle pine tree! In vain, a whole forest of pines with two needles fawns over them - just like thousands of years ago, they stubbornly search for five-needles. That is truly boundless devotion... But no! Sometimes events happen that overturn all our usual ideas. In September 2002, in the Slovak newspaper Pravda, an article appeared that on Lomnitsky Peak, at an altitude of 2633 m above sea level, that is, only 1 m below the very top, a pine oiler grew! Widely around - nothing but rocks and stone screes, and then suddenly, a few hundred meters above the border of the last groups of dwarf pines, a mushroom grew, so promising them fidelity ... However, the one who found this mushroom might not notice, for example, a seedling of dwarf pine.

BIG HARVEST OF MUSHROOMS AND SIGNS

Autumn time is famous not only for the beauty that is being prepared for hibernation, nature, but also with their gifts. And it will not be about what we have grown in our garden, but about what our forests are rich in. Namely, mushrooms. Moreover, a lot of folk signs and superstitions that mushroom pickers have noticed are associated with these amazing creatures of nature.

Why a lot of mushrooms in the forest, a big harvest: signs

As mentioned earlier in the article, there is a sign that the abundance of mushrooms in the forest promises an imminent war. Moreover, war is understood not only as battles, weapons and shots. Even the increased internal discontent in the country is associated with mushrooms.

Why with mushrooms, and not with berries or fruits? Because mushrooms still remain a completely unexplored substance. They are not classified as plants or animals. There is a whole form of life, which is called - "mushrooms". There is even a version about the alien origin of this species, but it is hard to believe in it.


Here is what else, besides the war, is associated with a huge harvest of mushrooms:

  • change of power in the country
  • famine (within a few years after harvest)
  • diseases, epidemics, many deaths

A lot of white mushrooms: a sign

White mushrooms - boletus mushrooms, the rarest and so beloved by mushroom pickers. You can go for a real porcini mushroom for a long time. It grows singly in a normal year, hiding in foliage and grass. Finding him is a real blessing.

In the mushroom year, you can often find a whole meadow of white mushrooms, and if they are still clean, not wormy, consider yourself incredibly lucky. Take a knife, sit back and enjoy your "quiet hunt" to your heart's content.


a basket of the purest porcini mushrooms pleases the eye

So what do people associate with a large crop of porcini mushrooms? All with the same war. And also with bread. "If it's mushroom, then it's bread." So says the popular belief. Indeed, mushroom years are famous for a good harvest of rye and wheat, but this is most likely due to the same weather.

Why pick mushrooms in a leap year

Is it possible to pick mushrooms in a leap year? All respectful mushroom pickers want to know the answer to this question.

A leap year is considered by astrologers to be the beginning of a four-year cycle. This year you can not start any new business, there is a high probability of failure. Elderly people believe that the more mushrooms you collect this year, the more coffins you will take to the churchyard. In other words, picking mushrooms in a leap year means calling death and trouble on your family.


It is known for certain that the mycelium is reborn every few years. And if the last year of the life of the mycelium fell on a leap year, there is a chance of being poisoned by these same mushrooms. They say that even edible mushrooms can become deadly poisonous. But after all, the rebirth of the mycelium can fall on any year, and not just on a leap year. Therefore, it is still possible to pick mushrooms in a leap year.

Why did mushrooms grow in a flower pot?

Can it grow into indoor pot mushroom? Quite. If you use forest or garden soil, there may well be fungal spores or even part of the mycelium. There are no special signs associated with the appearance of a mushroom in a pot with a flower. Moreover, mushrooms are even grown specially at home, using the same pots for this. It is very easy to grow mushrooms in this way.

Advice! Most often, toadstool spores get into the pots, be careful not to try to eat them.


Why did mushrooms grow on the grave?

There is a belief that mushrooms grow on the graves of those who died from various serious illnesses, and picking mushrooms on the grave means inviting illness and adversity. In fact, mushrooms can grow if spores get into the ground. Accordingly, the condition for the presence of diseases in the deceased is not at all obligatory.

Important! Do not pick mushrooms on the grave. This can not be done not only because of beliefs, but for aesthetic reasons.


Witch's circle - mushrooms: signs

Mushrooms are also associated with legends about witches and witchcraft. There is even an expression "witch's circle". This is a circle formed by mushrooms in a natural way, while the grass inside the circle withers and dries for some unknown reason. Most likely, the mycelium simply gradually fills this circle, respectively, the grass has nowhere to grow, and it withers.

But the people said: if there are a lot of mushrooms, the unclean power raged, gained unprecedented power. Such mushroom circles were associated with the witches' coven and bypassed.


Whether or not to cut mushrooms from this circle is a personal matter for everyone. People who do not believe in legends and omens do not disdain such luck - where else can you collect a whole basket of mushrooms in 15 minutes? People who respect the beliefs bypass the "witch's circle" side, in no case go into it, and they no longer cut mushrooms so as not to disturb the forest spirits.

Grew up in the yard at the threshold: signs

If mushrooms have grown at the threshold, wait for the news. So says folk omen. Also, mushrooms at the threshold are associated with wealth or an addition to the family. If the mushrooms are edible, the news will be good, if the toadstools, probably bad. In any case, these mushrooms should not be removed, especially if they do not interfere with walking and do not grow. If the mycelium began to grow actively and began to interfere strongly, dig up the ground. But you need to do this only with toadstools. edible mushrooms, grown at the threshold, can be safely eaten after heat treatment.


Signs for porcini mushrooms in June, July, August

White mushrooms are especially famous for signs. Most often, fly agarics are called neighbors of mushrooms. If there are fly agaric - look nearby porcini. The sign is especially relevant in the summer months: June, July and August.

Also, the appearance of morels is attributed to the summer sign of porcini mushrooms. They say that if the morels have departed, wait for the harvest of porcini mushrooms. Morels depart early, usually in June it is already problematic to find them. They also say that if there are no morels, then there will be no white mushrooms.


porcini mushrooms in July and August - a frequent and welcome find

Each mushroom picker has his own signs that have evolved over the years. Any mushroom picker values ​​\u200b\u200bthese signs and believes in them.

You can eat all the mushrooms, here are just some of them - only once in a lifetime. Many signs about mushrooms modern people not familiar, but everyone knows this. The point is that in no case should you take mushrooms that you do not know. poison it delicious dish can be very simple. But it's not just about that. There are mushrooms that you can eat for a year, two, three, and then suddenly get very sick and even die. These mushrooms include pigs. Previously, they were collected with pleasure, salted, pickled and eaten. But today it has already been proven that they are poisonous, only their poison does not act immediately, but accumulates in the body for several years, and then it can “shoot” so that it will not be possible to save a person.

If mushrooms grow on the wall of the house, then the person who lives in it will become rich. It has been noticed that often what a person believes in with all his heart is sure to come true. But in this case, this is completely unrelated to this sign. You can believe that you will become rich if you get fired from your job, but if you do not believe in it with all your heart, then nothing will work. So for those who listen to the signs, but do not blindly believe in them, it should be noted that the mushrooms that have grown on the wall of the house will not bring anything but the destruction of the walls. If you have to make repairs to the wall, or even build new house are you going to get richer? It is best to immediately get rid of this disease of the walls, otherwise, you can make a lot of everyday problems.

If you see a small mushroom and leave it to grow further, then it will not grow anymore. It is popularly believed that the mushroom grows only as long as no one sees it. Any look of a person is an evil eye that does not allow him to grow further. Of course, centuries of human observation cannot be ignored. But no one sat and watched every little mushroom that they saw. Maybe someone cut off the grown mushroom, and next to that place grew another, small one. After all, they grow very quickly. Where there was nothing two days ago, today there may be a magnificent forest creature.

If a person loves to bow to the earth, then he will not be left without mushrooms. There is no need to argue here. It's about hard work. How do mushrooms grow? They can hide under leaves, under fallen needles. In order to find a good mushroom, you need to look under each tubercle, but so that the mycelium is not damaged. To do this, it is necessary not only to pick a stick in the ground, but also to bend over, carefully look under the leaf. You look, the most beautiful mushroom can be found. And someone can go around the whole forest, so nothing can be found.

A mushroom torn out with the ground is forever dead. This statement only looks like a sign, in fact - this is the real rule that should be followed by any person who goes to the forest to harvest. If you collect mushrooms that have plates under the hat, for example, russula, then they only need to be cut with a knife. But if you find those specimens that have a sponge under the hat, for example, white, boletus, boletus, Polish or butterdish, then they need to be twisted out of the ground. And be sure that the place where you picked the mushroom must be sprinkled with earth and preferably trampled down. In this case, in this place and next year you will be able to harvest a good harvest, and the mycelium will remain intact. We somehow encountered the fact that lazy people came for mushrooms. They just walked through the forest and dragged a rake behind them. Anything good was taken. But after them, in the most mushroom places after that, nothing grew for seven years, neither edible nor poisonous. It's easy to spoil, but it's better to get a crop every year.

Where you find one mushroom - there look for another. The fungus really stretches far. Therefore, if you find a good mushroom, then be sure to squat down, and while you are cleaning the found mushroom, look around. If you look carefully, you will definitely find at least one more, and if you're lucky, then more. This rule has been tested many times and has always worked.

When midges begin to fly, then you need to prepare baskets. Mushrooms can be found at almost any time of the year. They begin to appear in the spring, as soon as heavy rains pass. In summer, some varieties of mushrooms also grow. Even in winter, under the snow, you can dig up mushrooms if you know the places where they grow. One of our friends went for mushrooms exclusively in winter. He said that at this time the mushrooms, although glassy, ​​were not eaten by worms. But the most best time for picking mushrooms - it's autumn. It was at this time that midges began to pester people intrusively, feeling the approach of cold weather. Therefore, people say that if midges have become annoying, then it's time for mushrooms.

When the pines are sprinkled with golden pollen, that year the butterflies will go in droves. In this case, it's a figurative expression. Pine is an evergreen plant and is rarely seen with yellow needles unless the tree is sick. People have noticed that once every three or four years, an incomprehensible pollen of a mysterious golden color falls next to fallen pine needles. Biologists also do not explain this phenomenon. But it is in these years that you can harvest the largest harvest of oil - the most delicious mushrooms for marinade.

If the clouds began to cling to the tops of the forest, then take a basket and go for mushrooms. Low clouds are fog formation. When thick fog spreads over the earth, therefore, the earth is wet. And what is best for good growth mushrooms? Of course, moisture! So it turns out that under such conditions you can always return from the forest with a good harvest.

If it is raining quietly and without wind, then it's time to gather for mushrooms. Strong winds with heavy rains - this is typical for summer, but not for autumn. It rains in autumn. Abundant? Yes. But extreme situations can no longer be expected. Therefore, any rain will be considered quiet. So, every rain is a signal, grab a basket and run into the forest.

There are a lot of fly agarics in the forest - which means that you should expect a lot of whites. Indeed, the growth conditions of these fungi are very similar. That's just the difference - some of them are poisonous, while others can be eaten and not be afraid. However, there is indeed a connection. However, fly agarics are always in sight, and whites are hiding. But the one who seeks, knowing about this sign, he will always be able to collect a full basket of porcini mushrooms, and maybe even more than one. On this occasion, there is another sign - the red fly agaric shows the way to the porcini mushroom. Go for fly agarics - you will definitely find the most elite mushrooms.

When it rains in the evening, wait for the mushrooms in the morning. Mushrooms grow really fast. And they grow mostly at night. No wonder people talk about everything that quickly appears, grows like mushrooms. Quite often, those who go for mushrooms every day from the season notice that where there was nothing yesterday, mushrooms are already growing today.

If you find a white one, make a stop. Mushrooms do not grow like normal plants. Their roots - mycelium - can stretch for several tens of meters. Therefore, mushrooms can appear anywhere. If you are lucky enough to find a white mushroom, and not only a white one, be sure to stop and carefully look around. It cannot be that in this place he was the only one. When an attentive mushroom picker looks around, it almost always turns out that he has landed on a good fruitful clearing.

If the paths in the forest are covered with mold, then there will be a lot of mushrooms this year. The people believe in this omen sacredly. The fact is that mushrooms are also mold, really tasty. If mold appears on the forest paths, it means that the most suitable weather has come for good harvest mushrooms.

And in winter I would eat a fungus, but deep snow. Usually no one picks mushrooms in winter. You can't see anything under the snow. However, old people claim that an experienced mushroom picker can always find mushrooms under the snow. Most often, this experience is used in the case when, by the will of circumstances, one has to spend the night in the forest by the fire. Under the snow, the mushrooms left over from autumn are very well preserved, but in the spring, when the snow begins to melt, they deteriorate very quickly. Spring mushrooms are not to be eaten. It is believed that they, like a sponge, absorb all the dirt that has accumulated on the ground during the winter.

The mushroom has outgrown - the man has found danger on his nose. Everything has its time. It is better to collect fewer mushrooms, but those that will be tasty and safe. The older the mushroom, the more likely it is to be poisoned, even if it is quite edible. The most delicious and safe mushrooms are only when they are small, young. Old mushrooms absorb everything bad from the earth, in addition, worms love them very much.

There are many signs from mushroom pickers among the people. And this is not all that knowledgeable people are talking about. But every person who is going to go into the forest should know the basic signs about mushrooms. Firstly, it is useful in order not to waste your time, and secondly, with such knowledge, you can collect much more good and tasty mushrooms..

Grayish or dirty white coating on the surface of the soil in a flowerpot - this is mold. Novice flower growers often do not know why the quality of the soil is deteriorating. There are many reasons, but in most cases, get rid of mold in flower pot simple enough.

Experts offer several proven methods for removing unaesthetic plaque on the ground. The sooner an amateur grower takes the necessary measures, the easier it will be for a pet to recover from adverse conditions for growth and development.

Reasons for the appearance

Harmful plaque appears in a flower pot, regardless of the type and age of the plant. Spores of pathogenic fungi are often in the air or fall into a flowerpot with contaminated soil.

Most often, the appearance of a dangerous fungus on the soil is provoked by flower growers. Improper plant care, unsuitable temperature conditions, excessive humidity activate the growth of fungal microflora.

Often, lovers of indoor plants believe that moldy soil is observed only where the flowers require abundant watering. This opinion is erroneous. Unfortunately, harmful white plaque often affects the soil in flowerpots with cacti, ficuses and violets.

Provoking factors:

  • waterlogging of the soil with excessive watering;
  • high air humidity;
  • poor soil quality;
  • watering the plant with cold water;
  • at home it is too cold for a certain type of indoor flower;
  • sampling low-quality soil from the nearest flower garden, and not buying it in a specialized store;
  • moisture stagnation due to improper arrangement of the drainage system.

Owners take note! Many flower growers have noted: mold on the soil surface often appears in spring and autumn, when the temperature in the room drops, moisture evaporates more weakly, and conditions are created for waterlogging the soil. During these periods, you need to transfer the plants to the warmest room, add artificial lighting providing additional heating, check if the drainage holes are clogged.

Harm to plants

Mold on the surface and inside the soil not only spoils appearance soil, but also provokes problems with the growth and development of pets. Rotting of the roots adversely affects the condition of the plants.

Inexperienced flower growers think that removing unaesthetic plaque will solve the problem. This is a delusion: only an integrated approach to removing mold, eliminating the conditions for the reappearance of the fungus, will give a noticeable effect.

What is dangerous white plaque on the ground:

  • the vital activity of the plant is deteriorating;
  • a dense layer on the soil passes less oxygen, useful substances to the roots
  • soil quality is noticeably reduced: soil density increases, acidity and mineral composition are disturbed;
  • fungi provoke various diseases, worsen the condition of the indoor flower, in advanced cases cause the death of the plant;
  • the stem, leaves, flowers regularly do not receive enough nutrients that the mold retains on the surface of the soil;
  • roots and stems weaken, often rot due to high humidity;
  • if the owner does not fight the molds in the flower pot, the plant may rot after a while.

mold types

Two types of fungus most often develop on the surface of the soil:

  • white mold. A flower pot is an ideal environment for the development of a fungus. The mold of this type is easy to grind in the hands;
  • efflorescence. Crystalline plaque is often white, grayish or greenish in color. Alkaline or salt deposits affect not only the outer part of the soil, but also the inner areas.

Root rot is another type of fungus that settles in a flower pot. This type of pathogenic flora is often called the "black leg". A dangerous fungus acts in the thickness of the soil, but Negative influence noticeable on the stems and leaves: they turn black, rot, curl. The earlier root rot is detected, the greater the chance of saving a houseplant.

Effective methods of struggle

When identifying a strange plaque in a flower pot, it is important to understand what conditions led to the development of mold fungi. Only after the elimination of provoking factors, the risk of soil mold will be minimal.

Ten rules for successfully fighting mold in a flowerpot:

  • check the temperature and humidity in the room. Install a lamp closer to the plants, if it is cold at home, stop excessive watering if moisture accumulates;
  • remove the top layer of earth 2–3 cm thick: it is impossible to allow the penetration of harmful fungi into the deep layers of the soil;
  • replace the removed soil with a substrate with bactericidal properties, enriched with nutrients. Suitable peat, charcoal, sphagnum moss, special mixtures from a flower shop. Many flower growers recommend adding a couple of crushed activated charcoal tablets to the soil. The best option for each plant, the sales assistant will tell you;
  • prevent further development of the fungus. Experienced flower growers recommend a solution of Fundazol (for 1 liter of water - 2 g of the drug). Watering according to the instructions for the antifungal agent;
  • carry out preventive watering. A solution of the available components will help prevent the appearance of mold on the soil: ½ tsp is enough for 250 ml of water. citric acid. indoor flower irrigate twice a month. A simple operation will slow down the spread of a fungus that lives in the thickness of the soil;
  • treat the soil with a special antifungal compound, if root rot (“black leg”) has started in the soil. The danger of this type of mold is the late detection of a fungal disease. Flower growers learn about a serious illness of a plant only by rotting leaves and stems. When identifying root rot, you will need chemicals: lemon acid is powerless here. On the early stage a solution of potassium permanganate helps well, with a severe degree of fungal infection, the affected plant is sprayed with Bordeaux mixture, cuproxate or colloidal sulfur;
  • loosen the soil. This operation prevents moisture stagnation, improves oxygen access to the roots, normalizes gas exchange between soil and roots. Dense, “heavy” soil is the fastest way to salinization, the development of pathogenic microorganisms;
  • transplant the plant. With a large accumulation of mold on the surface and in the ground, a severe infection of the flower, transplanting into a new flowerpot, a complete replacement of the earth is the only way to save a pet. Carefully remove lumps of soil, rinse the roots with a fungicide solution. Arrange the correct one in a new pot drainage system(cover the holes at the bottom with pebbles of a suitable size), pour high quality soil, plant a plant, sprinkle with peat or charcoal on top;
  • disinfect the soil. If for some reason it is impossible to purchase new soil, soil disinfection can be carried out. The method is simple but effective. Carefully collect the earth from the roots, remove it from the flowerpot, put it in a wide container, pour over with boiling water. The next step is to fry the soil in the oven. The pot is also poured with boiling water or placed in the oven for disinfection (if the material allows). Before re-planting the plant, the roots must be thoroughly washed from the remnants of the earth, rinsed with a solution of Fundazol;
  • Take good care of your houseplant. Poor care, rare loosening, stagnant moisture with excessive watering often provoke the appearance of mold. Flower shops offer helpful books on indoor flower care. A lot of relevant, interesting information for beginners and experienced flower growers is easy to find on the Internet.

Prevention of the appearance of the fungus

It is not difficult to prevent the appearance of all types of mold in a flower pot. Regular flower care, compliance with temperature indicators and watering norms will bear fruit.

Six simple rules reduce the risk of mold development:

  • moderate watering with lukewarm water;
  • arrangement of drainage at the bottom of the flowerpot;
  • indoor temperature, optimal for plant development;
  • mixing soil in a pot with pieces charcoal. A good option- crushed activated carbon for soil disinfection;
  • watering to prevent rot with a solution of citric acid;
  • regular loosening of the soil.

Simple preventive measures will not leave a chance for the development of mold fungi in a flower pot. Attention to the houseplant, compliance temperature regime, optimal humidity, enrichment of the earth with oxygen will maintain the high quality of the soil. With careful care, it is easy to deal with mold at an early stage.

And first of all, it is necessary to identify the reasons why mushrooms could appear.

1. Moisture

As you know, mushrooms love moisture. No wonder after the rain in the forest they become visible-invisible. And as boundless as their number, the joy of avid mushroom pickers, who have already taken a basket and are going to go to the forest as soon as possible, becomes. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that frequent watering of plants could be the reason for the appearance of mushrooms in a flower pot.

2. Disrupted ecosystem

Any soil is not just a substance. The soil differs from the same clay or from the same sand primarily in that it contains many trace elements. That is why she is so fertile.

In other words, the soil is a kind of ecosystem. It contains fungi, mold, various microorganisms that are just waiting for suitable conditions for growth and for rapid reproduction.

If the ecosystem is not disturbed, then some microorganisms will eat others, and none of their species will begin to grow to enormous sizes.

If the balance is disturbed (and this can be done just by frequent watering, for example), then one of the species will receive more favorable conditions than the other. As a result, the latter will die or significantly decrease, and the former will begin to rapidly increase its population.

So, fungal spores can lie in the soil for a long time, "waiting" until conditions suitable for their growth are formed.

3. Illumination

Light exposure affects mushroom growth. And some of them grow well in the dark. Others, on the contrary, need a lot of light.

4. Acidity

For most fungi, a slightly acidic environment is favorable. A considerable number of species are able to independently change the acidity.

5. Purchased soil

As practice shows, most often mushrooms grow in the soil that was bought in the store. Therefore, if possible, to prevent the appearance of fungi in the soil, it is better to fill the pot with soil found somewhere near the house before planting.

If, nevertheless, this is not possible and the soil has to be bought, then before planting the plant, it should be shed hot water mixed with potassium permanganate.

What is needed for growth?

In order for a mushroom to grow in a flower pot, in most cases, only two conditions are required:

  1. High humidity;
  2. The presence of spores in the soil.

Of course, it is possible that these two conditions will not be enough. Perhaps the fungus will need something else to grow. After all, there are many types of mushrooms. And some of them can grow only on too wet soil, while others need only a little moisture to grow.

Should it be removed?

Sometimes mushrooms grown in a pot seem very beautiful. They are so pleasing to the eye that you simply do not want to get rid of them. The florist thinks that this way his plant looks even more attractive.

But in fact, it can be dangerous for the flower. Everything, of course, depends both on the type of plant itself, and on the type of mushroom that has appeared. It is possible that both organisms can exist in symbiosis, not only without causing any harm to each other, but, on the contrary, positively influencing each other.

But in order to be sure of this, it is necessary to show the soil to a specialist - a botanist. If there is no knowledge about the type of grown mushrooms and about their interaction with a plant in a pot, it is better not to risk it and still remove them. After all, if you do not take action in time, the flowers may die.

Mushrooms require nutrients to grow, which they, of course, suck for themselves from the soil. As a result, the flower will lack nutrients, which can lead to its imminent death.

How to delete?

1. Using tweezers

Removing mushrooms from a pot is not difficult. You can use tweezers for this purpose. With the help of this tool, the mushroom is picked up right by the leg, and then carefully removed from the ground along with its root (that is, with the mycelium).

But the only problem is that after a while the mushrooms are likely to reappear. Moreover, their reappearance is often observed even after removal from the root. You have to take some other measures to remove it.

2. Transplant

It often helps to transplant a flower into another pot and, accordingly, into another soil. The main thing is that there are no fungal spores in the new soil. However, this cannot be verified with the naked eye. After all, disputes are very small.

You can leave the old pot, but it only needs to be thoroughly rinsed. To do this, it is recommended to use laundry soap, as it can have a disinfecting effect.
