Always kill your flowers quickly? Many people overlook these flower-growing mistakes

Growing flowers is a joyful thing. Seeing pot after pot of flowers bloom better and better under your care brings a real sense of satisfaction. But in fact, not every flower lover can grow the flowers at home well, making them branch out lushly and bloom until they burst out of the pot.

Although growing flowers is not a particularly complicated matter, it still requires patience and some skill. Today, the editor will summarize for everyone some mistakes that many people make when growing flowers. Come and see which reasons are causing your flowers to never last long.

Watering at the wrong time

Many flower lovers just cannot stay idle when growing flowers. Sometimes when they see the soil has dried out, they hurry to water the flowers. This is not scientific. In fact, the timing of watering matters a great deal, because at different times, the temperature and other conditions are different, so watering flowers should also be done with care.

At noon in summer, the temperature is relatively high. At this time, watering must be avoided. If you water, the soil temperature will suddenly drop, water absorption will slow down, causing insufficient water supply, and making the upper leaves of the flowers scorch and wither. Generally speaking, for watering time, in winter it is best around 4 p.m., and in other seasons it is best before 10 a.m.

Leaving water on the leaves

Many people, after watering flowers at night, ignore the water left on the leaves, or feel it does not matter and that leaving some can even keep the plant fresh and tender. In fact, this is highly inadvisable. Because water droplets left on the leaves at night can easily cause the flower leaves to rot and trigger pests and diseases.

So we should adjust the watering time, or after watering at night, we can use a tissue to wipe away the excess water on the leaves, ensuring there is no water on the leaves at night. Only this way is it beneficial to the normal growth of the flowers.

Applying too much fertilizer

Flower plants need a large amount of nutrients during growth, especially when blooming, when the demand for nutrients becomes even greater. Therefore, many flower lovers think that applying more fertilizer to plants is beneficial.

In fact, doing so only backfires. Applying a large amount of fertilizer can easily cause fertilizer damage. In mild cases, it leads to poor flower growth; in severe cases, it can cause the flowers to die. So when fertilizing, we should follow the principle of "thin fertilizer, applied frequently," with "one part fertilizer to nine parts water" being best.

No ventilation indoors

Many flower lovers easily overlook the air factor when caring for flowers. In fact, poor air circulation can very easily cause plants to die.

Like people, plants also need normal respiration to grow, so we need to frequently open doors and windows to create good ventilation conditions for plant growth, ensure their normal respiration, and let them grow better.

Growing plants beside the TV

Many people, in order to reduce the radiation caused by electronic devices, like to place flowers beside the TV. In fact, this practice is wrong.

The radiation emitted by the TV when it is working has a destructive effect on the reproduction of plant cells. Over time, it can easily cause the flowers to wither and die. So when placing flowers, we should place them a little farther away from electronic devices.
