The marguerite daisy is a flower that Huahua especially loves. As long as you prune it carefully, it will easily burst into a big ball of blooms!
Want to know how the experts grow it into a big flower ball? Keep reading~
1. Pinching and topping are key
The expert says that to make the marguerite daisy bloom into a round, full flower ball, you have to pinch and top it before flowering, and rotate the pot at regular intervals, so that it blooms more and blooms well!
2. Soil selection
Loose, breathable, well-draining soil is best for the marguerite daisy. The expert generally uses 1 part garden soil plus 1 part peat soil.
Hydrangea
When it comes to which flower is bigger than a face, the hydrangea is definitely one. Hydrangeas not only bloom abundantly, but can also be color-adjusted according to your own preferences. No wonder so many flower lovers like them!
There must be quite a few flower lovers who want to know how hydrangeas can be successfully color-adjusted. Huahua asked the expert for the color-adjusting secrets on your behalf!
1. Turning hydrangeas blue
Before the buds form or when buds appear, dilute aluminum sulfate with water at 100 times and pour it into the soil once every 10 days. At other times, add a little white vinegar or ferrous sulfate when watering. Note that these several things cannot be used together!
2. Turning hydrangeas pink
Under normal circumstances, if you do not 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. However, it is really rare to see someone collect so many varieties and grow only kalanchoe!
Kalanchoe can bloom several times a year, but some flower lovers' kalanchoe blooms only once and then stops. The expert says that as long as you master her secrets, kalanchoe can 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 bloom more. When pruning, count three pairs of leaves upward from the bottom of the branch, and cut off starting from the fourth pair.
2. Flower-forcing secrets
The expert reveals that the key to forcing flowers is to put kalanchoe in "solitary confinement"! During the day, place the kalanchoe in sunlight. After 5 p.m., put a black plastic bag over it and place it indoors. It will bloom in about 15 days!
Rose
Roses are not only brightly colored and bloom abundantly, but the key is that they can bloom several times a year! So it is not without reason that many flower lovers are devoted to roses.
Although roses are easy to keep alive, roses are famously a "medicine bottle", often infected by 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, dilute baking soda with water at 1000 times and spray both sides of the leaves. However, the expert says powdery mildew is best prevented in advance, with frequent pruning and more ventilation.
2. Killing red spider mites
After red spider mites appear on roses, the expert sprays the leaves with milk diluted in water, which is said to burst the red spider mites. However, if there are many red spider mites, the expert will use Duocai myclobutanil diluted with water at 1500 times to spray and kill them.
Succulents
There is a saying that goes well: "Once you enter succulents, it is as deep as the sea; from then on, your wallet is a passerby." You cannot control your hands when "buying succulents", and before you know it your home is packed with succulents!
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 is early-stage black rot, you can dig out the black rotten part and re-root it as a cutting. However, if the black rot is relatively serious, it is best to throw it away to avoid infecting other succulents.
2. Killing small bugs
Succulents also often attract bugs in summer. If there are only a small number of bugs, you can directly crush them with your hands. If there are many, you can rinse them off with running water.
Cactus ball
Huahua used to not understand why anyone would like a cactus ball covered in spines, until Huahua saw what a cactus ball looks like when it blooms, and Huahua was completely conquered by the cactus ball!
Huahua believes that many flower lovers' cactus balls have been grown for several years without ever blooming. Don't worry, the expert's blooming secrets have already been obtained by Huahua!
1. Soil preparation
The expert says that only with good soil preparation can the cactus ball grow vigorously and bloom early. The expert generally uses akadama soil, coal cinders, coarse sand and volcanic rock in a 4:3:1:1 ratio, then mixes in a small amount of plant ash.
2. Sufficient light
Besides soil, light is also an essential condition for the cactus ball to bloom. If it is kept in a shaded place all the time, the cactus ball will never bloom! It is best to move it to a south-facing balcony or outdoors.
Growing flowers is not about quantity but about quality.
Being able to grow one kind of flower to perfection
is enough to be called an expert!
