If your flowers are completely dead, don't throw them away. Let me teach you 1 trick to revive them and make them grow vigorously.

Rose

English roses, mini roses, small climbing roses... this year they really are a must-have in every home, and the more you grow, the more problems you have. Every day, gardening friends come asking for help: Is my rose dead?

Although roses are fairly sensitive, their vitality is still very strong. Ordinary yellowing leaves and leaf drop can all be solved. As long as the cross-section of the branch is still alive (with green), nothing else is a big deal.

1. Pruning method

It doesn't matter if all the leaves have turned yellow. Cut off all the dried and withered branches and leaves, and keep cutting the flowering stems until you reach living green stems.

After pruning, place it in a ventilated spot, keep it in light for more than 4 hours every day, water once every 2-3 days, and new leaves will grow in 1-2 weeks.

2. Soil change and repotting method

If the soil has already become compacted and impermeable, or the pot is too large, both can cause yellowing leaves and leaf drop in roses. At this point, you need to change the soil and repot.

Switch to a breathable mix of leaf mold and garden soil. When the flower is placed in the pot, leaving a fist-sized distance from the pot rim is fine. After replanting, water thoroughly and place it in a spot with bright indirect light and good ventilation to recover for 2-5 days.

3. Wax-dripping method

For roses "bitten to death" by insects, you must choose this method, because the insects are very small, and if they accidentally crawl into the flower stem, it's over!

Cut off the parts damaged by insects and drip wax onto the cut surface. White wax or red wax both work.

If you don't have wax at home, you can use clear nail polish to seal the cut, which can also prevent insects.

4. Cutting method

Roses are very easy to propagate from cuttings. Generally, April-May and September-October are the golden times for rose cuttings, so there's still time to take cuttings now.

Mix vermiculite with sandy soil and garden soil; this gives good breathability and moisture retention. Take a 10-16 cm long flowering stem (keep at least 2 buds), insert it into the soil, water thoroughly, and place it in a cool, ventilated spot.

During the cutting process, you can water with a little rooting powder solution (rooting powder and water at 1:2000), which can speed up rooting.

Gardenia

Although the traditional blooming season for gardenias has passed now, many gardening friends bought gardenias from the market with disordered blooming periods and still have all kinds of problems, so! Huahua thinks rescuing gardenias is urgent~

1. Pruning method

For gardenias bought in pots from the market, the seller usually adds fertilizer to the potting soil. The fertility will gradually be used up, and the old leaves begin to wither and yellow. At this point, cut off the yellow leaves and weak branches to preserve nutrients.

2. Watering method

Gardenias like acidic soil and are also prone to iron deficiency. Some gardening friends have alkaline soil and water at home, so as they grow them, the leaves start to look wrong.

At this point, just add a spoonful of vinegar when watering. The ratio of vinegar to water is about 1:200. Water with vinegar water 1-2 times a month. Just don't water too much, as it can easily damage the plant!

Iron deficiency is also easy to handle. Besides buying ferrous sulfate and mixing it with water to water the flowers, if you have a large iron wok at home, just scrub it a few times and scrape off some iron to water the gardenia.

3. Root-trimming method

If the gardenia wilts completely within a few days and all the leaves fall off, it's most likely the roots that have gone bad. Hurry and dig it out to take a look.

Carefully clean off the rotten roots, then rinse them with water. You can also soak them in a carbendazim solution for 10-20 minutes to disinfect, then let them dry and replant.

4. Rooting method

Many gardening friends' gardenias have roots that are completely rotten and can't be saved. Don't lose heart. Huahua still has a way, as long as your gardenia still has green branches!

Cut off the still-living flowering stems, about 8-15 cm is enough, and put them directly in water. They will begin to root in about 7-10 days.

Note that when rooting in water, the bottom of the gardenia should not touch the bottle, as that will hinder rooting. You can also first put foam on the gardenia as a "life jacket" so it floats up.

Hydrangea

Many gardening friends can't move their feet when they see a hydrangea, but after buying it, it wilts within a few days, or looks like it's about to die as soon as the flowers fade. It's really not easy to care for.

Actually, hydrangeas are just more "quiet" and especially afraid of being disturbed, so the methods below from Huahua are all "lazy person" methods.

1. Leaf-cutting method

Hydrangeas transpire quickly. Especially just after buying them, once they leave the high-temperature, high-humidity greenhouse and come into the relatively dry home environment, they immediately wilt!

A wilted hydrangea looks quite scary. Don't throw it away. Cut off the leaves, shorten the branches (keep about 20 cm), water thoroughly, and place it in a cool, ventilated spot.

Be careful not to let it get direct sunlight. Bright indirect light is best. Turn the pot every two or three days so the plant receives light evenly.

2. Bag-covering method

When seasons change, temperatures fluctuate unpredictably, and hydrangeas like warmth and humidity, so they wilt easily. Put a plastic bag over the top to keep it warm and moist!

3. Pest prevention and disease treatment

Hydrangea leaves are large, and some fatal diseases will show on the leaves. Gardening friends should observe promptly, and once discovered, spray medicine right away!

Watering hydrangeas with ferrous sulfate mixed with water (1:1000) can treat yellow leaves. Note that you don't need to water it every day. After yellow leaves appear, water 1-2 times.

Household alcohol mixed with water (1:500) and garlic water (2 cloves of garlic mixed with 1 bowl of water) can both be used to wipe diseased hydrangea leaves, sterilizing and cleaning them and preventing various fungal diseases.

4. Cutting method

If the hydrangea looks beyond saving, you can take cuttings from the branches. At least 6 cm is enough.

Cut off half the leaves to save nutrients, insert them into sandy soil, and place them in a cool spot, avoiding direct sunlight.

Next is moisture retention. Spray water every day to keep the sandy soil slightly moist. Don't pull them out to look out of curiosity. At the current temperature, it will take about 20 days to root!

Succulents

As soon as the weather gets hot, all kinds of problems with succulents pop up too. I wonder if gardening friends have ways to handle them.

1. Sun exposure method

Many gardening friends are afraid their succulents will get sunburned, so they put them all indoors, and then the succulents grow poorly, one by one taking on a "zombie color." The promised fresh and dainty look is all a lie.

Actually, it's not yet the intense summer heat now. Succulents have not yet entered dormancy, so they can still get some sun and have a "rosy complexion and glossy shine"! Gardening friends in the south just need to provide shade at noon.

2. Root-trimming method

Once succulents turn to mush or develop black rot, it is mostly because the roots have rotted. Hurry and dig out the roots, clean off the rotten root system, and remove the bad leaves.

The trimmed roots can be soaked in a carbendazim solution for 10-20 minutes. After drying, they can be replanted directly.

3. Rooting method

Some gardening friends may find after digging out the succulent that the roots have completely rotted. After cleaning them thoroughly, cut off another 1-2 cm from the bottom, then soak the rest in water with rooting powder. They can root in about 5-8 days.

4. Leaf propagation method

Some succulents rot until only the leaves are left, but they can still be propagated from leaves. Huahua will repeat the leaf propagation method here~

Growth point: Only leaves with a normal growth point can succeed in leaf propagation. If the growth point is blocked or shriveled, leaf propagation is wasted effort.

For leaf propagation, it is best to lay the leaves flat on moist flower soil. Diseased leaves inserted into soil are prone to infection, while laying them flat can isolate them.

The leaf propagation rooting process takes about 7-10 days. During this period, place them in a cool, ventilated spot. When watering, do not splash randomly. It is best to use a small dropper bottle and water directly onto the soil.

After about 1 month, when the seedlings have grown strong, they can be divided into pots and planted~

The methods for growing flowers are also largely the same.

After reading this, do you all feel your confidence multiply?

Gardening friends who grow them well

should also share their experience more~
