Many friends just pick whatever flower looks pretty and bring it home, wanting to grow every beautiful flower at least once. But many flower lovers are devoted to just one kind of flower, and they grow that one flower to perfection - unmatched by anyone!

Marguerite daisy

Marguerite daisy is a flower that Huahua particularly loves - as long as you prune it carefully, it will easily burst into a big flower ball!

Want to know how the expert grows it into a big flower ball? Keep reading~

1. Pinching and topping are key

The expert says that to make marguerite daisies bloom into a round, full flower ball, you have to pinch and top them before flowering, and rotate the pot at regular intervals - that's the only way to get more and better blooms!

2. Soil choice

Loose, breathable, well-draining soil is best for marguerite daisies; the expert usually uses 1 part garden soil plus 1 part peat soil.

Hydrangea

If there's any flower bigger than a face, it has to be the hydrangea. Hydrangeas not only bloom abundantly, but you can also adjust their color to your own liking - no wonder so many flower lovers adore them!

Surely quite a few flower lovers want to know how to successfully adjust hydrangea color - Huahua asked the expert for the color-adjusting secret on your behalf!

1. Turning hydrangeas blue

Before the buds form or when buds appear, mix aluminum sulfate with water at 100 times dilution and drench the soil once every 10 days; at other times, add a little white vinegar or ferrous sulfate when watering. Note that these things must not be used together!

2. Turning hydrangeas pink

Under normal circumstances, if you don't deliberately apply acidic fertilizer, hydrangeas will bloom with pinkish flowers. If you want a pure pink, you can mix a small amount of plant ash into the soil.

Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe has a beautiful meaning and is loved by many flower lovers. Still, it's really rare to see someone collect so many varieties and grow only kalanchoe!

Kalanchoe can bloom several times a year, but some flower lovers' kalanchoes bloom only once and then stop. The expert says that as long as you master her secret, kalanchoe will bloom as many times as you want!

1. Pruning after flowering

After kalanchoe finishes blooming, you must prune it so it can bloom quickly and more abundantly. When pruning, count three pairs of leaves from the bottom of the branch upward, and cut starting from the fourth pair.

2. Flower-forcing secret

The expert reveals that the key to forcing flowers is to put the kalanchoe in "solitary confinement"! Put the kalanchoe in sunlight during the day, and after 5 p.m., cover it with a black plastic bag and place it indoors - it will bloom in about 15 days!

Rose

Roses not only have gorgeous colors and bloom abundantly, but the key point is they can bloom several times a year! So it's not without reason that many flower lovers are devoted to roses.

Although roses are easy to grow, they are famously a "medicine bottle," often catching all kinds of diseases, which is really a headache!

1. Eliminating powdery mildew

The expert's miracle cure for eliminating powdery mildew is "baking soda." After powdery mildew breaks out, mix baking soda with water at 1000 times dilution and spray both sides of the leaves. However, the expert says powdery mildew is best prevented in advance - prune often and increase ventilation.

2. Strangling red spider mites

After red spider mites appear on roses, the expert sprays the leaves with milk diluted in water, which is said to stuff the red spider mites to death. However, if there are many red spider mites, the expert uses myclobutanil at 1500 times dilution with water to spray and kill them.

Succulents

There's a saying that goes well: "Once you fall into succulents, it's as deep as the sea; from then on, your wallet is a stranger." You can't control your hands when "buying succulents," and before you know it, your home is packed with them!

Although succulents are cute, not everyone can grow them well - many succulent lovers' plants often die for one reason or another. How does the expert grow them so well?

1. Dealing with black rot

Black rot is a problem beginners often encounter. If it's early-stage black rot, you can dig out the rotted part and re-cuttage. But if the black rot is fairly severe, it's best to throw the plant away to avoid infecting other succulents.

2. Killing small bugs

Succulents also often attract bugs in summer. If there are only a few bugs, you can just crush them with your hands. If there are many, you can rinse them off with running water.

Cactus

Huahua never used to understand how anyone could like a cactus covered in spines, until Huahua saw what a cactus looks like when it blooms - and Huahua was completely conquered by cacti!

Huahua believes that many flower lovers' cacti have been grown for several years without ever blooming. Don't worry - Huahua has already gotten the expert's blooming secret!

1. Soil mixing

The expert says that only with good soil will cacti grow vigorously and bloom early. The expert usually mixes akadama soil, coal cinders, coarse sand and volcanic rock in a 4:3:1:1 ratio, then blends in a small amount of plant ash.

2. Plenty of sunlight

Besides soil, sunlight is also a must for cacti to bloom. If they're kept in a shaded spot all the time, don't even think about them blooming! It's best to move them to a south-facing balcony or outdoors.

Growing flowers isn't about quantity but quality;

being able to grow one kind of flower to perfection

is enough to call someone an expert!

What do you think, flower lovers?
