It has been getting warmer lately, but recently I've seen many comments saying that their flowers have run into problems and are looking worse than they did in winter! In fact, the transition from winter to spring is exactly when flowers enter their growing season, so be sure to pay attention to the following points!

1. Avoid cold winds

The wind is still quite chilly now. If you don't take care to block it, your flowers may wilt and lose their vigor. So it's best to ventilate around midday or in the afternoon, when it's warmer.

If your flowers have been exposed to cold wind, water them less and don't put them in direct sun. Place them somewhere a bit warmer to recover, and once they've bounced back, return to normal care.

2. Avoid excessive temperature swings

In many regions right now, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large: hot during the day, but fairly cold in the early morning and at night. This big swing easily causes flowers to drop leaves and buds.

In early spring, you can place your flowers at the boundary between the balcony and the indoors. Don't rush to move them outside; wait until the temperature has steadily risen before moving them out.

3. Prune in time

Many flower lovers can't bear to prune, but this only makes your flowers lose their shape and grow uglier and uglier, and they may even bloom far less.

In early spring, you should prune, cutting off leggy branches and weaker branches, so the plant's shape becomes nicer and nicer.

4. Apply light fertilizer frequently

Spring is when flowers and plants start growing. Many impatient friends start fertilizing as soon as spring begins, and with large amounts, which can easily backfire and cause fertilizer damage such as root burn and rotten leaves.

Early spring is a good season for fertilizing, but apply light fertilizer frequently. Wait until the new leaves have grown strong, then gradually increase the amount of fertilizer. Giving flowers time to adapt is very important.

5. Repot on schedule

Repotting on schedule is also a very important step. If you don't repot once every few years, you'll find that your flowers grow more and more slowly and bloom less and less!

Spring and autumn each year are both fairly suitable for repotting. Mature large flowers can be repotted once every 1~2 years, while seedlings can be repotted twice a year. Only by repotting on schedule can you give your flowers enough room to grow!

That's all for today's little flower-care tips.
