Golden branches, jade leaves and red flowers
Pepperwood pretending to be fragrant wood
Poplar branches turn into plum blossoms
Recently, I see flower friends showing off their beautiful pictures in the community every day. Huahua is really greedy. When she has time, she sneaks to the flower market to take a look. She feels uncomfortable if she doesn’t buy a pot~ However, Huahua discovered that there are many tricks in the flower market. When you see these strange flowers, be sure to recognize them, otherwise you will be tricked!
Cauliflower and celery
Clephus chinensis and celestial lily
The celestial lily was very popular a while ago. Many florists said it would not bloom. In all likelihood, you bought the celery lily. Look carefully at the picture below. On the left is the celestial lily. The seeds are slightly smaller and fatter, while the lotus seeds on the right are larger and slender.
Cauliflower can bloom when grown in a pond. When we buy it, we can only put it in a bucket. No matter how bright the sun is, it will only grow leaves but no flowers. No wonder flower lovers have waited for several months and it still won’t bloom!
Golden branches, jade leaves and red flowers
Every Every time I go to the flower market, I can see a bunch of "Golden Leaves" with small red flowers. In fact, Golden Leaves is a species from Africa. It is difficult to grow flowers in China. How do these flowers bloom?
Look carefully, these little red flowers are all made of paper Yes, wires are inserted in the middle of the leaves. It’s really hard to tell unless you look closely!
In addition to the above tricks, there are also those that apply medicine to golden branches and jade leaves. After being treated with medicine, the leaves turn pink, which is eye-catching. When you buy it home, the color slowly fades and turns into a pot of "green vegetables" again~
Pepperwood pretends to be fragrant wood
As soon as summer comes, merchants start touting "mosquito repellent", which is actually fragrant wood, but 80% of the fragrant wood on the market is fake pepper wood. Can you tell the difference?
The top of the real fragrant wood leaves is 1 pair, not There is only one piece, it still has a light fragrance and has a slight mosquito repellent effect, but the pepper wood has no smell.
Colorful succulents injected with medicine
There are always some colorful succulents in succulent shops. These are called medicinal brocades. Huahua specifically talked about them. They affect the photosynthesis of succulents through the use of medicines. Once they change color, they are very difficult to grow and have a short lifespan!
If you have already bought Yaojin, Huahua recommends putting it away as soon as possible Keep it in a cool place, avoid direct sunlight, and water it sparingly. If it survives fading, then everything will be fine!
Strange blue crab claw
< p>Nowadays, the cultivation technology is strong and the flowers come in more colors. Many unscrupulous merchants take advantage of this and sell some rare colors to attract you. In fact, they are all fake, such as the blue crab claw orchid below.When Huahua saw it, there were still people buying it, everyone must Remember, crab claw orchids now come in red, rose red, pink, white, and orange varieties, but there is no blue variety!
The poplar branches turn into four seasons plum
The one below looks like it has well-developed roots and bright flowering pictures. The vendor said it can bloom in all seasons and is called "Four Seasons Rich Plum".
In fact, it is made of poplar buds glued to the roots of the tree. It’s impossible to survive. The pictures are also photoshopped. The elders in the family are the most susceptible to being deceived. Be careful.
Various leafless seedlings
When buying flowers, it is best to buy seedlings with leaves. When you encounter bare stem seedlings without leaves, they say they are roses, camellias, bougainvillea, or maybe some wild tree roots.
