You actually don't know how to pick flowers? No wonder every plant you buy dies!
Happiness and Reunion - Narcissus
Narcissus is pure, elegant and refined, with an extraordinary air. Place a pot of narcissus at home and not only is the fragrance delightful, but the neighbors will be green with envy when they see it!
How do you pick healthy narcissus bulbs?
1. Choose ones with a large diameter.
Generally, if the narcissus bulb has a diameter greater than 10 cm, it will produce more flowers, with more than 4 to 7 flower stems. At the same price, bulbs that are plump and firm contain more nutrients and grow better.
2. Choose ones with thick, sturdy top buds.
The thicker and sturdier the top bud on the bulb, the healthier the narcissus bulb is, and the better it is for sprouting and blooming.
How do you care for narcissus bulbs after buying them?
1. Peel off the dried outer skin and grow it in water.
Use your hands to peel off the dried outer skin of the narcissus bulb, then place it in water with the water covering just 1/3 of the bulb. Once new shoots grow, you can put it in the sunlight.
2. Keep the temperature at 10-18 degrees.
Keep the indoor temperature at 10-18 degrees, place it in a spot with plenty of sunlight, change the water every 5 days, and add water promptly when the water level drops.
Good Fortune - Anthurium
Anthurium flowers are large and vivid, adding a lively, prosperous festive air to the home. At the same time, anthurium also symbolizes the beautiful wish of good fortune and bright prospects.
How do you pick anthurium?
1. Choose ones with large flowers and vivid red color.
If the flowers show signs of yellowing, don't buy them.
2. Choose ones whose leaves have no spots and clear veins.
To tell whether an anthurium is growing healthily, look at whether the leaves are glossy green and thick and whether the veins are clear. Don't buy any with yellowing leaves or spots.
3. Don't buy ones whose potting soil is yellowing
Besides looking at how the flowers are growing, you should also pay attention to the soil color. If the soil color is pale and yellow, it means the seller used pure garden soil. Pure garden soil has poor water permeability and air permeability, compacts very easily, and easily leads to waterlogged roots and root rot!
How do you care for anthurium after buying it?
1. Keep room temperature at 15-20 degrees
If room temperature drops below 10 degrees, anthurium is very easily frostbitten. If room temperature is too low, it's recommended to put a plastic bag over the anthurium to keep it warm, and poke a few small holes in the bag for ventilation.
2. Place it in a spot with plenty of light
With plenty of light, anthurium blooms more and more vividly. You can place it on an indoor south-facing balcony, and water only when the potting soil is dry.
Bright and Prosperous - Azalea
Azaleas bloom in a vivid red blaze. Buy a pot and place it at home, and when the neighbors come they'll be stunned, absolutely unwilling to leave! The large, vividly colored azalea symbolizes good luck and prosperity and making a fortune!
How do you pick azaleas?
1. Choose ones with half-open buds.
Gardeners can choose azaleas with half-open buds, to avoid them finishing blooming and dropping soon after you bring them home.
2. Choose ones with upright, sturdy branches.
A well-growing azalea not only has green, thick leaves, but also upright, vigorous branches. If the leaves have spots or turn yellow, don't buy it.
3. Don't buy ones whose leaves feel oily or smell odd.
Some unscrupulous sellers wax the leaves to make them look greener and more attractive, but this clogs the leaf stomata and affects the leaves' respiration. Flowers like this will definitely wither and die soon after you bring them home.
How do you care for azaleas after buying them?
1. Keep room temperature above 15 degrees
The azaleas sold at flower markets are generally grown in the warm environment of a greenhouse. When gardeners first bring an azalea home, they should try to mimic the greenhouse room temperature, keeping it at 15 to 25 degrees, to let the azalea adjust.
2. Mist with water to maintain humidity
Besides mimicking the greenhouse temperature, mist the leaves frequently to maintain a certain air humidity. Note that the water temperature should be as close to room temperature as possible, and don't spray the flowers.
Long Life - Kalanchoe
Kalanchoe comes in vivid, rich colors and also carries the good omen of everything going as wished and long life.
How do you pick kalanchoe?
1. Choose ones with a compact shape and many buds.
A compact kalanchoe looks better, and with many buds, of course it will bloom more.
2. Choose ones with thick, green leaves.
The better a kalanchoe grows, the thicker and greener its leaves are.
3. Lift the pot, and if it's especially light, don't buy it.
Some sellers, to save money and effort, just stuff lots of foam at the bottom of the pot and then put a layer of soil on top. How many nutrients can so little soil have? And watering easily causes waterlogging. It's no wonder it dies after you bring it home.
How do you care for kalanchoe after buying it?
1. Keep the temperature at 12-15 degrees.
The suitable growing temperature for kalanchoe is 12-15 degrees. Once room temperature drops below 5 degrees, it will be frostbitten, which in turn affects blooming.
2. Water only when the potting soil is dry
Kalanchoe is very prone to root rot, so be sure not to water too much. Water only when the potting soil is dry.
