Flowers wilt and die soon after you bring them home? Master these little flower-buying tips

Many people go to the flower market to buy some flowers to decorate their homes and add a bit of life to them. But often the beautiful flowers wither and die not long after being brought home, and there is actually a reason for this. Nowadays, many flower markets pass off inferior goods as good ones, and that is why the flowers you buy and take home wither and die within a few days.

When buying potted flowers, you need to pay attention - don't be fooled by their beautiful appearance. Some people may simply stick rootless flowers straight into the soil, so you need to keep your eyes peeled when buying.

Let me teach you a few clever little tricks for telling good from bad:

1. For woody flowers, you can grab the stem of the plant; if you can lift it together with the pot and soil, it is generally a real potted plant, otherwise it is a fake one; for herbaceous flowers, you can pull upward with a little force; if the flower stays firm, it is a real potted plant, and if you can pull it out of the pot, it is a fake one.

2. Carefully observe that the height of the flower and the size of its crown are in direct proportion to the size of the pot, and that the overall shape of the branches, leaves, flowers and fruit is harmonious and attractive. A tall, large flower growing in a tiny pot - this kind of mismatched plant is definitely a fake potted plant.

3. Also, when buying, please don't go for the cheap ones; generally, if it's cheap, there must be something wrong with it somewhere.
