Article Catalog

Beginners should start from four aspects when buying flowers from the flower market. First, the flowers should be awakened in place and placed in a dark place. If the leaves do not wilt obviously, it means that they have adapted to the new environment; second, be careful when changing pots. When changing pots, choose a larger pot, and then choose the corresponding soil according to the flowers. Third, pruning should be carried out in a timely manner, and dead branches and diseased branches of plants should be pruned in time to prevent them from consuming too much nutrients. Fourth, fertilization must be scientific, and different flowers use different fertilization methods.

I obviously picked the most gorgeous flowers from the flower market, but as soon as they arrived at my home, they wilted within a few days. Then I started to wonder if the merchant was playing tricks on me. But think about it again, it’s not possible that it’s the merchants who are pulling the strings every time, or there’s something wrong with the breeding methods. Newly bought flowers, because they have been in a new environment, are like raising a newborn. They must be carefully cared for and taken care of so that they can adapt to the new environment so that they can thrive. Therefore, when you buy new flowers, you must pay attention to the following operations to ensure that the flowers can survive the adaptation period safely.

1. Flower wake-up must be in place

Before purchasing, the growing environment of flowers is mostly in greenhouses, and the temperature and humidity are very different from the home environment. At this time, flowers are prone to problems, and the problems may not show up just after you buy them. But when I got home and left it for a while, the problem started to show up. Therefore, you need to wake up the flowers, water them thoroughly, and place them in a place where they will not be exposed to direct sunlight, such as a corner of a wall, etc. In about four days, if the leaves have not wilted significantly, it means that the flowers have adapted to the home environment and can be repotted.

2. Be careful when changing pots

Most flower markets sell flowers and pots separately, and most of the materials used are river sand or relatively loose mud, which has no nutrients and poor water retention, and may carry diseases and insect pests. This is the sales routine of merchants, so it is Newbies cause certain burdens and troubles. Most of the flowers bought back are in plastic pots and need to be repotted, creating new obstacles for novices to grow a pot of flowers. Changing pots is not only a test for novices, but also a life and death test for the growth of flowers.

When changing the basin, choose a slightly larger basin and place a bowl bottom stone or refined stone on the bottom of the basin. Then select the corresponding soil according to the attributes of the flowers, and add some base fertilizer to the soil. Put half the height of the pot with soil, gently pull the plant out and put it into a large pot. After straightening it, add soil to 2-3 cm from the edge of the pot and compact it tightly. Finally, water it thoroughly until it starts to flow out from the bottom of the pot. Then you can start normal maintenance after waking up for two days.

3. Prune in time

The flowers you just bought are basically in bloom and look very beautiful, but they also consume a lot of nutrients. If you want your flowers to remain in good condition, you still need to prune them in time so that nutrients can be absorbed evenly. Specific pruning methods should take into account the characteristics of different plants. The basic pruning principle is to cut off the stems three leaves down when the flowers begin to wither. This pruning method is suitable for most flowers. In addition, the purchased flowers may have some diseased branches, which can also be pruned.

4. Fertilization must be scientific

The newly purchased flowers have gone through many tests and can finally start watering, fertilizing and other maintenance work. You cannot slack off on this, as various other problems may arise. Not to mention the extreme situation that a novice may water the plants to death because they pay too much attention to the flowers. Fertilization is also a very particular matter. Fertilization must be carried out scientifically for different plants according to the characteristics of the flowers. Under normal circumstances, fertilizing once every half month is enough.
