Flowers & Gardening 0 views
Many flower lovers tell Huahua in the comments that their plants at home just won't survive. Actually, growing flowers is very simple - as long as you remember this one sentence, any flower can grow into a bursting pot. Today, Huahua will teach everyone the key tips for growing flowers~

Pothos


Care keyword: watering

In spring, pothos needs a lot of water - water once every 3-5 days. If you keep fish at home, use the aquarium water to water your pothos, and it will grow even more vigorously.

Other notes:

Pothos does not like strong light. Place it on a well-ventilated, brightly lit balcony or windowsill, and it will be less prone to root rot and grow better.

Spider plant


Care keyword: humidity

Spider plants like a humid environment. Spring is the peak growing season, so water about once every 3-5 days. Mist the leaves often to maintain air humidity and prevent the leaf tips from drying out.

Other notes:

Spider plants are semi-shade plants, so keep them in indirect light. Direct sunlight can easily scorch the leaves.

Snake plant


Care keyword: watering

The snake plant is a drought-tolerant flower and is prone to root rot when overwatered. In spring, it is best to water about once every 10 days; in a well-ventilated, well-lit spot, you can increase the amount of water.

Other notes:

Dig 2-3 small holes along the edge of the snake plant's pot, keeping them away from the roots, then place 3-4 cooked soybeans in each hole and cover with soil. Generally, burying soybeans once every 1-2 months is enough.

Kalanchoe


Care keyword: light

Kalanchoe likes a warm environment, so place it on a sunny south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill. Because its flowers are phototropic, turn the pot in a fixed direction once every 15-20 days, rotating it 180°.

Other notes:

In spring, water once a week, and apply decomposed cake fertilizer water once every 10-15 days.

Aloe


Care keyword: watering

Aloe is very drought-tolerant, and too much water easily causes root rot. In spring, watering once every 15 days or more is enough.

Other notes:

Choose loose, breathable soil. You can mix garden soil, peat soil and coarse sand in a 3:1:1 ratio.

Pennywort


Care keyword: light

Pennywort loves sunlight very much - the more light, the more likely it is to fill out its pot. Place pennywort on a south-facing balcony with direct sunlight or outdoors.

Other notes:

Pennywort is very fond of water; once it lacks water, the leaves immediately dry up. In spring, water once every 2-3 days. When watering, you can mix in a small amount of compound fertilizer, and pennywort will grow even more vigorously.

Chinese rose


Care keyword: fertilizing

Chinese roses love fertilizer. April to June is the peak growing season, so apply cake fertilizer water once a week, and add phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before flowering, such as spraying the leaves with 0.2% monopotassium phosphate.

Other notes:

In spring, water Chinese roses about once every 5-7 days. You can insert a toothpick into the soil and pull it out after 10 minutes; if the surface is dry, water immediately until water flows out from the bottom of the pot.

Clivia


Care keyword: watering

In spring, water once a week. When watering, pour along the edge of the pot, and do not pour into the heart of the plant, otherwise the core easily rots.

Other notes:

In spring, apply fermented soybean cake water to clivia once every 10-15 days.

Anthurium


Care keyword: temperature

Anthurium is extremely sensitive to temperature. The most suitable growing temperature is 14°C-35°C, and a temperature difference of 3°C-6°C is ideal. Under these conditions, anthurium blooms more easily.

Other notes:

Anthurium likes a semi-shade environment and avoids direct sunlight. Place it by a windowsill without direct sunlight, or in a spot with bright indirect light.

Gardenia


Care keyword: watering

In spring, water once every 3-5 days. Gardenia likes acidic soil, so you can add citric acid when watering, with a citric acid to water ratio of 1:2000.

Other notes:

In spring, water once every 20-30 days with 0.2% ferrous sulfate water or alum fertilizer water, to prevent soil salinization and supplement iron, preventing leaves from turning yellow.

Camellia


Care keyword: fertilizing

To make camellias bloom more, spray the leaves about every 10 days with a diluted mixture of 1000 times monopotassium phosphate, a small amount of borax and rice vinegar.

Other notes:

In spring, camellias only need watering about once every 5-7 days; water again once the surface of the potting soil feels dry.

Petunia


Care keyword: light

Petunia is a long-day flower - the more sun, the more vigorously it grows. So move petunia to the sunniest south-facing balcony or south-facing window at home, and only then can it grow into a ball~

Other notes:

In spring, water once every 1-2 days. When potting, you can place some charcoal at the bottom of the pot, which both improves airflow and helps prevent waterlogging.

Azalea


Care keyword: soil pH

Azaleas like slightly acidic soil. For the potting soil, you can mix decomposed pine needle soil and garden soil with a small amount of perlite, and water the potting soil with 1:2000 ferrous sulfate.

Other notes:

Water about once every 7-10 days. You can tap the flower pot with your hand; if the sound is dull, it means the potting soil is moist and does not need watering.

Aglaia


Care keyword: watering

Water aglaia about once every 3-5 days. Pour slowly, stopping once the water covers the pot, then water again after it seeps in, until water flows out from the bottom of the pot.

Other notes:

"Aglaia that can't be killed by sun" shows that aglaia likes a spot with plenty of light. Insufficient light easily causes leggy branches and leaves, so place aglaia outdoors or on a south-facing balcony with plenty of sunlight.

Hydrangea


Care keyword: soil pH

Soil pH affects the color changes of hydrangeas: acidic soil makes the flowers blue, while alkaline soil makes them red. When applying liquid fertilizer, you can add 0.2% ferrous sulfate to make the flowers blue-purple. If you want them red, add lime, crushed eggshells or plant ash to the soil.

Other notes:

In spring, water once every 3-5 days, and apply thin cake fertilizer water once about every 15 days.

Asparagus fern


Care keyword: watering

Water once every 3-5 days. When watering, you can use the soaking method: immerse the asparagus fern, pot and all, in water, and take it out once the surface of the potting soil becomes moist.

Other notes:

Place asparagus fern in a ventilated spot with indirect light, such as a brightly lit room or by a window, and never expose it to blazing sun.

Cyclamen


Care keyword: temperature

Cyclamen likes a cool environment. The best growing temperature is 15°C-20°C. If the temperature is too low, the petals easily wither; if it is above 35°C, the tubers easily rot.

Other notes:

In spring, watering cyclamen once every 1 week or more is enough. Be careful not to let water sit on the leaves for long periods, otherwise the leaves easily rot.

Succulents


Care keyword: watering

Most succulents are drought-tolerant, so in spring watering once a week is enough. When watering, pour along the edge of the pot, or use a dropper-style watering can to water near the roots of the succulent.

Other notes:

In spring, you can place succulents by a sunny window and let them get sun through the glass, which helps their coloring.
