Say these amateurish things when buying flowers, no wonder you're the one who gets ripped off
Is this flower easy to grow?
I believe this is a question flower lovers are sure to ask when buying flowers. It's like asking a fruit shop owner: Is this fruit sweet? No matter what they're selling, the owners will say their goods are good
If you don't recognize or understand the flower in front of you, it's better to just ask what its name is and how to grow it, so the owner will introduce it in more detail~
Can I grow it in the north (south) too?
As soon as you enter the flower market, everyone can't help but feel delighted. There are varieties that haven't bloomed yet and rare ones you seldom see, and you just can't resist taking one pot. You ask the owner: Can I grow this flower at home too?
The owner's answer will definitely be yes. Their flowers are all professionally grown in greenhouses, blooming abundantly with bright colors, and as soon as they hear "yes," many flower lovers will believe it
Is watering alone enough?
The flowers in the flower market all look extremely vigorous, giving us the illusion that we can grow them like that too. When you ask the owner, the owner will definitely say that watering alone is enough
In fact, many flowers in the flower market have been sprayed with leaf shine. With just a little spray, the leaves become glossy and shiny, instantly "dazzling"
So fresh and lively flowers and leaves can't rely on watering alone; they definitely need proper care. Our own home flowers and plants look dull and dusty, but wiping them with a little beer water (1:500) can also have a brightening effect
Such a small one is this expensive?
When buying flowers, you definitely want to bargain. This sentence seems fine, but in fact it's easy for the owner to trap you: "If you think this flower is expensive, buy that pot instead. It's bigger than this one and a bit cheaper"
With the price comparison before and after, you might even think you've gotten a bargain, not realizing the owner has successfully sold off defective goods, and the latter one might not even be worth the low price
Flowers in the flower market are generally divided and potted in greenhouses. Some roots get damaged during the division process, but the problem doesn't show much in a short time, and you can't see the roots inside the pot either~ After buying it home, the leaves turn yellow and drop, and it dies before long
Don't get angry. If the roots are damaged, they can still be saved. Dig it out and check. Healthy roots are white and fleshy. If they are black and rotten, they have rotted and need to be removed
After cleaning it up, soak it in carbendazim solution for more than 20 minutes to disinfect and sterilize, let it dry for half a day, and then replant it
Succulents are so beautiful when they bloom?
Succulents are everywhere now. Almost every flower shop sells succulents. Many "elderly" succulents have already bloomed. At this time, if you marvel at how beautiful the blooming succulents are, the owner will definitely think you're an amateur~
Flower lovers who grow succulents all know that succulents blooming is generally not a good thing. Blooming consumes too much nutrition and will cause succulents to grow leggy, become weak, or even die
Among succulents that die after blooming, Sempervivum, Mammillaria, Echeveria, Agave, and Crassula are the most common. Huahua picked a few common ones, so everyone can remember them
So don't be fooled by appearances in the flower market. Try not to buy succulents that die after blooming~
The above are all Huahua's painful lessons learned through blood and tears~·~
