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 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 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, hydrangea is definitely one. Hydrangeas not only bloom abundantly, but can also be color-adjusted according to your 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, 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 several things must not 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, collecting so many varieties and growing only kalanchoe is really rare!
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 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. 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 place it indoors. In about 15 days, it will bloom!
Rose
Roses not only have brilliant colors 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 various diseases, which is truly headache-inducing!
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 diluted in water, which is said to burst the red spider mites. However, if there are many red spider mites, the expert uses Duocai myclobutanil mixed with water at 1500 times dilution to spray and kill them.
Succulents
There is 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 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. Treating black rot
Black rot is a problem beginners often encounter. If it is early-stage black rot, you can dig out the black rot area and re-propagate by cuttings. However, if the black rot is relatively severe, it is best to throw it away to avoid infecting other succulents.
2. Killing small insects
Succulents also often attract insects in summer. If there are only a small number of insects, you can directly crush them with your hands. If there are many, you can rinse them with running water.
Cactus
Huahua previously never understood 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 secrets!
1. Soil mixing
The expert says that only with well-mixed soil can cacti grow vigorously and bloom early. The expert generally uses akadama soil, coal cinder, 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 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 be called an expert!
