Grow pothos and gardenias like this, and they will run wild and fill your whole home
Grow pothos like this, and it will run wild and take over your home!
Everyone says pothos is a beginner-level green plant, and even people who do not know how to grow flowers cannot kill it. If you still cannot grow it, try the methods below!
Water moderately
Hydroponic pothos naturally does not need water control, but soil-grown pothos does. Of 10 pothos that die, 8 die from overwatering, so normally water only when you see the soil is dry.
Wipe the leaves with beer
If you have leftover beer at home, leave it for two days first to let the alcohol evaporate. Then dilute it with 20 times water, pour it into a spray bottle, and spray it on the pothos leaves, so the leaves will become greener and shinier!
Grow succulents like this, and they will be plump and juicy!
Succulents look plump and are small in shape, and many people fall into the hobby after one look. But do you really know how to grow succulents?
Do not spray water
1. Some succulent leaves have fuzz or a fine powder, and spraying water on the leaves will cause the fuzz to fall off, and it is almost irreversible.
2. In addition, if outdoor-grown succulent leaves have water on them, plus strong sun, the leaves will be scorched. Normally it is best to use a dedicated succulent watering can and water along the edge of the pot.
Fertilize appropriately
Succulents also need appropriate fertilization. You can grind worm castings into powder and mix some into the succulent soil; the first time, do not exceed 10% of the soil.
Grow gardenias like this, and the flowers will be big and fragrant!
Recently the gardenia at home bloomed, and the fragrance is especially strong; you can smell it as soon as you walk in. If your gardenia is not growing well, try the methods below!
Flowering period care
1. If the gardenia has grown buds, be careful not to expose it to strong sun, and give it some shade appropriately, otherwise the flowers easily turn yellow.
2. Also water less, and spray water around the pot more to maintain air humidity. If there is too much water during the flowering period, the blooming time will be shortened and the flowers will fade faster.
Apply light fertilizer frequently
Use well-rotted rice water, dilute it with 10 times clean water, and water the gardenia with it. This not only helps the gardenia bloom better, but also makes the soil less likely to compact. But note that a gardenia that has just been bought home and is still recovering should not be fertilized.
Grow clivia like this, and it will bloom every year without root rot!
If you can grow clivia well, that proves your flower-growing skill is at expert level. This delicate clivia, just how can it be made to bloom?
Turn the pot on time
Clivia leaves are phototropic, and if kept in one position for a long time, the leaves easily become asymmetrical. It is best to turn the pot once a week, so the leaves grow evenly.
Apply liquid fertilizer frequently
Spring is exactly the peak growing season for clivia. You can use fish intestines, fish scales and so on to ferment fishy water, and after it is rotted, dilute it with 50 times clean water and water the clivia with it, using it 2 to 3 times each month. The clivia will grow faster.
Grow Christmas cactus like this, and it will grow into a waterfall of flowers!
Christmas cactus is also a relatively easy flower to grow; its biggest weakness is that its root system is rather weak and it does not tolerate waterlogging.
Mix pine needles into the soil
Go to the mountains and dig up some pine needles. After disinfecting and drying them, mix 20% into the potting soil. In this way, after watering, the water can drain out of the pot faster, so the roots will not be smothered and damaged.
Fertilize on time
After the Christmas cactus flowers fade, you can ferment some soybean water, dilute it with 20 times water, and use it 1 to 2 times each month. After supplementing nitrogen, the Christmas cactus leaves will become thick and upright!
Grow roses like this, and the flowers will be big and plentiful!
Recently, the roses in many flower lovers' homes have bloomed, and the bright spring flowers add a lot of color to the home. If you want roses to bloom more, what should you do?
Spring pruning
If roses are to bloom, they need a large amount of nutrients, so unnecessary branches need to be pruned away. Cut off all the thin, weak branches that have not grown buds, and only then will the rose have the strength to bloom more flowers.
Top-dress in time
Roses also very much like fertilizer, and rotted sheep manure pellets can be used as fertilizer. When repotting, scatter a few pellets in the pot, or directly scatter them on the pot surface. Do not use more than 10 pellets each time.
That is all for today's little flower-growing tips.
