Huahua has noticed that a lot of friends have stopped keeping flowers lately, and when asked, it turns out they think keeping flowers is too much trouble, what with watering and fertilizing. Today, Huahua will introduce a few lazy-person flower-keeping tips, so hurry up and learn them!

Lazy-person watering method

Watering is an essential step in keeping flowers, but many friends, unable to grasp the tricks and patterns of watering, often end up killing their own flowers through improper watering.

Alcohol lamp-style watering device

1. Prepare a fairly thick, highly absorbent string; Huahua recommends pulling one off a mop.

2. Prepare a tray and poke a hole in the middle big enough for the thick string to pass through easily.

3. Place the prepared tray on a container full of water, and put the string into the water.

4. Thread the white string through the drainage hole at the bottom of the flowerpot, then move the flower into the pot, making sure the white string passes through the entire flowerpot.

Automatic watering device

1. Prepare a plastic bottle and a small knife, and use the knife to poke a row of small holes in one side of the bottle.

2. Fill the bottle with water, then place the side with the holes on the flowerpot, and you no longer need to worry about watering.

Lazy-person fertilizing method

Applying flower fertilizer is also a headache for beginners: too much fertilizer burns the roots, too little and the flowers don't grow well. Today Huahua will teach you a few lazy-person fertilizing methods, so you never have to worry about fertilizing again!

Bury a quail egg at the bottom of the pot

1. Prepare a few fresh quail eggs, gently tap the small end, then use a toothpick to poke it open along the crack.

2. Spread a layer of soil about 3cm at the bottom of the flowerpot, then place the quail egg between the center of the pot and the rim, fix it in place with soil, then add more soil to the pot and move the flower in.

3. Because the quail egg buried in the soil is separated by the eggshell, you don't need to worry about burning the roots.

Add a plastic bottle to the pot

1. Prepare a plastic bottle and a pair of scissors, and cut off the bottom of the plastic bottle.

2. Bury the prepared plastic bottle at the edge of the flowerpot.

3. Chop up leftover fruit or rotten vegetable leaves, throw them into the plastic bottle, and screw the cap on tightly to let them ferment.

4. Because of the plastic bottle's separation, the fermented fertilizer won't damage the roots, and it's not likely to produce a foul smell.

Flowers that lazy people must keep

Having covered the lazy-person flower-keeping methods, Huahua will now recommend a few flowers suitable for lazy people to keep; they grow well with almost no care at all!

Spider plant

Put the spider plant in a semi-shaded environment, and just water once when the potting soil is dry.

Pennywort

Grow pennywort in water, toss in 2-3 granules of compound fertilizer, and place it in the sunlight; basically no management is needed.

Desert rose

Desert rose likes dryness; just water after the potting soil looks dry, and normally just place it in the sunlight.

Moss rose

As long as there is plenty of sunlight, moss rose can bloom for several months; in addition, giving it a once-a-month application of thin fertilizer water is enough.
