The spring breeze is warm, and the yellow and green grass in the garden has completely turned green, and the trees are quietly covered with tender green leaves. They sway gently under the caress of the spring breeze. The birds that have survived the winter also fall on the trees and chirp happily, adding a little vitality to spring.

In front of several strings of golden forsythia, Princess Pingyang, sitting in a wheelchair, leaned slightly, sniffed the fragrance of forsythia, and her face showed a bright and innocent smile. Then she put a pot of flowers in her arms on the open space in the garden. After carefully adjusting the angle, she pushed the wheelchair into the greenhouse and moved out a pot of flowers to put them out again.

Princess Pingyang loves growing flowers very much. Watching the flowers sprout, grow leaves and bloom under her careful care is also the greatest pleasure in her life. It is precisely because of this that the first greenhouse built by Li Xiu is Princess Pingyang's flower house.

It is precisely because of her love for flowers that Princess Pingyang never likes to pretend to behave when growing flowers. She does everything herself. Even though she is in a wheelchair now, she still does not ask her maid to help, but moves out the flowers in the greenhouse one by one. Now that the weather is warm, it is time to leave the greenhouse.

Princess Pingyang was sitting in a wheelchair and could only move out a pot of flowers at a time. In the end, she was so tired that she was sweating profusely, but she enjoyed it and didn't feel the hard work at all. However, when she moved to one of the pots of jasmine, she frowned with some distress. She saw that most of the leaves of the pot of jasmine turned yellow, and some of them were even dry, and she looked half-dead. I don't know if she could recover?

As a flower lover, I feel distressed whenever any flowers and plants turn into this. However, Princess Pingyang still carries the pot of jasmine outside with hope, cut off the dead leaves on it with scissors, and choose a place with plenty of sunshine to put it in place, because she knows that jasmine loves light and hopes to take more sunshine to make it better.

"Princess, if you keep it like this, it will probably not take long for this pot of jasmine to die!" At this moment, a soft voice suddenly came from beside him. When Princess Pingyang turned her head to look, she happened to see Li Xiu standing not far away in white clothes, looking at him with a smile in her eyes.

"When did Captain Li come? Is there anything wrong with me doing this?" Princess Pingyang was not surprised when she saw Li Xiu, because she had received a report from her maid, saying that it was Li Xiu asking for a meeting. She should have met Li Xiu in the front hall, but for some reason, she finally decided to meet him in a more private occasion in the garden.

"I've been here for a while. I saw the princess taking care of the flowers and plants so attentively, so I didn't bother me. As for this pot of jasmine, it's indeed inappropriate for the princess to deal with this pot of jasmine." Li Xiu walked up to the front with a smile. He didn't know much about other flowers, but he had some research on jasmine. In his previous life, he also liked to raise several pots of jasmine at home. When it bloomed, the room was fragrant, so he knew its habits very well.

"What should I do if Captain Li sees this pot of jasmine?" Princess Pingyang also asked curiously at this time.

Li Xiu did not answer immediately, but reached forward and pressed the soil in the basin. It turned out that the soil was sticky and there were some white marks on the inside of the basin. Then he looked carefully and then smiled: "Princess, please see, the leaves of this pot of jasmine are yellow, but the veins are blue. This is obviously a rotten root caused by excessive watering. In addition, the soil in your pot is not good, it is too alkaline. I guess did this pot of jasmine not grow well before?"

After hearing Li Xiu's words, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but show a surprised expression. Her pair of beautiful eyes stared at Li Xiu with curiosity and kept looking at Li Xiu. In the end, Li Xiu felt a little disgusted. At this time, Princess Pingyang's face turned red and said in admiration: "Where did Captain Li learn these things? It seems that there is nothing in this world that you don't understand?"

"This...haha, it's nothing. I've raised Jasmine before, so I know its habits very well. The princess doesn't have to be too surprised." Li Xiu said half-truely. He did raise Jasmine, but he was just in his previous life.

Next, Li Xiu taught Princess Pingyang how to deal with this situation. Generally, when it encounters jasmine root rot caused by watering, the soil can be loosened and the water evaporated when it is not too serious, and it is enough to reduce watering. However, Princess Pingyang's pot of jasmine is already very serious, so she can only change the soil.

At this moment, Li Xiu used a small flower shovel of Princess Pingyang to carefully lift the jasmine out, trying not to damage its root system, and then put it in water to wash the soil on the roots. At this time, it can be clearly seen that nearly half of the jasmine root system have turned black and withered. In response, Li Xiu picked up scissors to cut off all the withered root system, and also trimmed the dry strips on it, and then reinstalled the soil into the basin. The soil used was also the soil under the forest dug by Li Xiu from under the tree. This soil is relatively fertile and the pH is also suitable for the growth of jasmine.

Seeing Li Xiu replant Jasmine, Princess Pingyang scoops water from the water tank next to it to prepare for watering, but Li Xiu smiled and stopped him, "This water is not good!"

"Why, are there any particular things to do with watering?" Princess Pingyang asked in surprise again. Although she likes to grow flowers and plants, she never knew that there are so many ways to grow flowers and plants.

"The princess doesn't know that jasmine is a kind of flower and plant in the south. Most of the water and soil in the south are acidic, which is also suitable for the growth of jasmine. However, the water and soil in the north are relatively alkaline. Jasmine is transplanted and it is not much for a short time, but over time, it will be unacceptable to the water and soil, which will lead to weak and not blooming or even death. Therefore, if you want to raise jasmine well, you must simulate an environment suitable for it." Li Xiu smiled and took the water scoop from Princess Pingyang's hand, and then told the maid to go to the kitchen to get some vinegar.

"Is it to add some acidity to Jasmine?" Princess Pingyang asked again. Although she didn't know much about Li Xiu's acid-base theory, she could guess some with her intelligence.

"Yes, pH is a chemical noun defined by artificially. When it is neither acid nor alkaline, we can call it neutral. As I said just now, the soil in the south is generally acidic, while most of the soil in Guanzhong is neutral, but the water here is too alkaline. For example, some saline-alkali lands are often seen by the river, and it is impossible to plant grain at all. The same is true for planting flowers. If the alkaline is too large, flowers and plants will not survive."
