Many friends just see which flower looks pretty and bring that one home, wanting to grow every beautiful flower at least once. But plenty of flower lovers are devoted to just one kind of flower, and they grow that one flower to the extreme, unbeatable by anyone!

Marguerite daisy

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 expert grows it into a big flower ball? Keep reading~

1. Pinching and topping is the key

The expert says that to get a marguerite daisy to bloom into a round, plump flower ball, you have to pinch and top it before flowering, and rotate the pot at regular intervals, so the flowers bloom more and bloom better!

2. Soil selection

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

Hydrangea

If you're talking about which flower is bigger than your face, it has to be the hydrangea. Hydrangeas not only bloom prolifically, they can also be color-adjusted to your own liking, no wonder so many flower lovers like them!

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

1. Turning hydrangeas blue

Before the flower buds form or when the buds appear, mix aluminum sulfate with water at 100 times dilution 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 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 quite a few flower lovers. However, collecting so many varieties and growing only kalanchoe is really rare!

Kalanchoe can bloom several times a year, but some flower lovers' kalanchoe only blooms once and then it's over. The expert says that as long as you master her secrets, 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 bloom more. When pruning, count three pairs of leaves from the bottom of the branch upward, and cut from the fourth pair.

2. Flower-forcing secrets

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

Rose

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

Although roses are easy to keep alive, roses are famously a "medicine bottle", often infected with 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, 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 mixed with water; it's said this will stuff the red spider mites to death. However, if there are many red spider mites, the expert uses Duocaijunxinzole mixed with water at 1500 times dilution to spray and kill them.

Succulents

There's a saying that goes well: "Once you enter succulents, it's as deep as the sea; 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; quite a few 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 black rot part and re-cuttings. But if the black rot is fairly serious, it's 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 to death with your hand. If there are more of them, you can rinse them off with running water.

Cactus

Huahua used to never 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 the cactus!

Huahua believes that quite a few flower lovers have grown their cacti for several years without them ever blooming. Don't worry, Huahua has already gotten the expert's blooming secrets in hand!

1. Soil preparation

The expert says that only with well-prepared soil can a cactus 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. Plenty of light

Besides soil, light is also a necessary condition for cacti to bloom. If it's kept in a shaded place all the time, don't even think about the cactus blooming! It's best to move it 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 be called an expert!

What do you think, flower lovers?
