Many friends just see whichever 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 grow that one kind to the extreme, unmatched 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 are the 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 the flowers bloom more and better!

2. Soil choice

Loose, breathable, well-draining soil suits the marguerite daisy best; 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, it has to be the hydrangea. Hydrangeas not only bloom abundantly, they can also be color-adjusted to your 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 secret on your behalf!

1. Turning hydrangeas blue

Before the buds form or when buds appear, dilute aluminum sulfate with water at 100 times 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, collecting so many varieties and growing only kalanchoe is really rare!

Kalanchoe can bloom several times a year, but some flower lovers' kalanchoe blooms only once and then it's over. 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 bloom more. When pruning, count three pairs of leaves up from the bottom of the branch, and cut starting from the fourth pair.

2. The secret to forcing blooms

The expert reveals that the key to forcing blooms is to put the kalanchoe in "solitary confinement"! Put the kalanchoe in the sun during the day, and after 5 pm, cover it with a black plastic bag and place it indoors; 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, 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, 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 plenty of 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 diluted with water at 1500 times 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 hands that keep "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-root it as a cutting. But if the black rot is fairly severe, 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 with your hands. If there are many, 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 the cactus!

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

1. Soil mixing

The expert says that only with well-mixed soil can a cactus grow vigorously and bloom early. The expert generally mixes akadama soil, coal cinder, 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 an essential condition for a cactus to bloom. If it's always kept in a shaded place, don't even think about the cactus blooming! It's best to move it to a south-facing balcony or outdoors.

Growing flowers is not about quantity but quality,

To be able to grow one kind of flower to invincible perfection,

is enough to be called an expert!

What do you think, flower lovers?
