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 must pinch and top it before flowering, and rotate the pot at regular intervals, so the flowers bloom more and bloom well!
2. Soil selection
Loose, airy, well-draining soil is most suitable for the marguerite daisy. The expert generally uses 1 part garden soil plus 1 part peat soil.
Hydrangea
If you're talking about which flower is bigger than a face, hydrangea is definitely one. Hydrangeas not only bloom abundantly, they can also be color-adjusted according to your own preferences, no wonder so many flower lovers like them!
Surely quite a few flower lovers 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 few 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 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 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 from the bottom of the branch upward, and cut from the fourth pair.
2. Secret tips for forcing blooms
The expert reveals that the key to forcing blooms is to put the 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, and it will bloom in about 15 days!
Rose
Roses not only have brilliant colors and bloom abundantly, the key point is that 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 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 the leaves on both the front and back. However, the expert says powdery mildew is best prevented in advance, with frequent pruning and more 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 burst the red spider mites. However, if there are many red spider mites, the expert uses Duocaijing myclobutanil diluted with water at 1500 times 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, and from then on your wallet is a stranger." You can't control your hand that keeps "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 rot part and re-propagate by cuttings. But if the black rot is fairly 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 few bugs, you can just crush them with your hands. If there are more of them, you can rinse them off with running water.
Cactus
Huahua used to not 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, the expert's blooming secrets have already been obtained by Huahua!
1. Soil mixing
The expert says that only with well-mixed soil can cacti grow vigorously and bloom early. The expert generally 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 light
Besides soil, light is also a necessary condition for cacti to bloom. If they are always kept in a shaded place, don't even think about cacti blooming! It is best to move them 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 invincible perfection
is enough to call someone an expert!
