Can't Keep Office Flowers Alive? A Look at the 6 Main Reasons Plants Die Young

Many plant lovers like to place a potted green plant on their office desk, but few can keep it alive for long. Usually, in less than a month, the flowers in their office begin to die. There are many reasons flowers die, usually because the correct care methods have not been mastered.

The 6 Sins of Not Being Able to Keep Flowers Alive

1. Lack of water

Although there are many people in an office, few water the green plants. The flowers remain in a state of water shortage for a long time, and over time they easily dry up and die.

2. Lack of fertilizer

Because the flowers grow in the office, many plant lovers rarely take the initiative to fertilize them; they are busy with their own work, and then discover the plants have turned yellow and are growing poorly. By then it is already too late. It is recommended to supplement nitrogen fertilizer during the growing season, and supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizer during the flowering period to promote blooming.

3. Poor ventilation

Because there are many people in an office and the doors and windows are kept closed for work, poor ventilation is easily caused. Plants are at a great disadvantage in such an environment and cannot grow well.

4. Low temperature

In the north, office flowers are mostly foliage plants from the south. The northern climate is dry, without moist air, and the flowers are very unsuited to it, so they easily die. Therefore, water must be replenished regularly to keep the soil and air moist, so the flowers can grow better.

5. Being treated as a trash can

People who love smoking often throw cigarette butts into flower pots, or pour tea into them. Over time, this damages the plant roots, affects the health of the flowers, and causes them to die.

6. Lack of sunlight

Office plants themselves get little sunlight. When sunlight shines into the office, plant lovers can move the pots appropriately so the flowers get some sun, to avoid the flowers failing to bloom for a long time due to insufficient light and also growing poorly.

The above is an introduction to some of the reasons flowers cannot be kept alive. When caring for flowers, plant lovers must be sure to choose the correct methods, provide a warm and moist growing environment for the flowers, pay attention to replenishing water, give sufficient light, and also pay attention to fertilizing, so the flowers can grow better!
