How to care for organic flowers after buying them home

Many people nowadays want their plants to be organic, but growing organic flowers is not that simple. If you have just bought organic flowers, be sure to pay attention to the care methods for organic flowers, so that you can grow healthy and beautiful organic flowers.

Organic flowers

1. Soaking the roots

First, soak the roots of the newly bought organic flowers in a basin of water for 3 to 4 hours, so that the roots fully absorb water. Gently wash away the clumps of soil wrapped around the roots of the organic flowers, taking care not to break or bruise the roots.

2. The flower pot

The size of the flower pot is also very important. If the roots of the organic flowers are very large, the pot should be increased in size accordingly; if the roots are small, do not use too large a pot either, because a larger pot holds more soil, which easily makes the soil less permeable. When planting, orchids, camellias, azaleas, white magnolia and gardenia need acidic soil (mountain soil); Phalaenopsis and clivia use leaf mould; osmanthus, sago palm and palm grass use 2/3 garden soil plus 1/3 coal ball ash, the purpose being to increase the permeability of the soil.

3. Proper pruning

After the flowers are planted, they can be pruned appropriately. For example, for newly bought Chinese roses, you can cut off the upper flowers and branches as appropriate to encourage budding. In addition, newly planted organic flowers must not be fertilized immediately; wait 1 to 2 months until the flowers sprout new shoots, then fertilize according to the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently.

Different organic flowers require different growing methods. For example, cacti do not need much water. Aloe is different, because aloe needs a lot of water; without water, aloe will wither and die.

How to care for newly bought potted flowers

How to care for newly bought potted flowers

Second, many people have the habit of immediately changing the pot and soil after buying new flowers, but this habit is actually not a good one. Because of the change in environment, newly bought potted flowers need a certain period of transition to adapt to their new growing environment. If you change the pot and soil right away at this time, the flowers and plants will become uncomfortable and stop growing.

The correct approach is: if the soil and pot of the newly bought potted flowers are both suitable, there is no need to change the pot or soil. If you are worried that the new flowers may bring back pests and pathogens, you can first disinfect them with insecticides, fungicides and other agents, place the new flowers in isolation from the flowers and plants you already have at home, and after observing them for a period and seeing that they are growing normally, place them together with the other flowers and plants. If you feel the soil or pot of the newly bought potted flowers is not suitable, you can take the new flowers out of the old pot together with the root ball, put them into a new pot, add new soil around the old root ball, then water and keep them in a warm, ventilated, semi-shaded place. Note that when moving the plant out of the old pot, try not to touch the root system and keep the old soil around the roots, so as to ensure that the new flowers pass through the seedling-recovery period smoothly after repotting.
