Always kill your plants? You made these 2 mistakes, remember this and you can keep any flower alive

Growing some plants and flowers at home can beautify your living space, and once they bloom, your whole mood is wonderful. So nowadays there are more and more gardening enthusiasts. Although some flowers are beautiful, after buying them from the flower market, they die within a few days. In the end, it still comes down to lacking experience in growing flowers. Why don't the flower shop owners' plants die?

Flower sellers, to be honest, always have more experience than flower growers. They have many tricks for growing flowers. And these tricks are known to gardening enthusiasts, they just don't put their heart into it. Most flowers die as soon as you grow them, and it's mostly for the following two reasons.

1. Not knowing how to water flowers

Do you think watering flowers is easy? Wrong. Growing flowers is 30 percent about fertilizer and 70 percent about water. Almost all flowers that die are killed by watering. There are many rules about watering. For example, what water to use? Tap water, rainwater, pond water - each type of water is different. Generally, tap water is used for growing flowers at home, but tap water contains chlorine, so it's recommended to let it sit for a day before using. Or leave it in the sun for two hours before using.

What time of day should you water flowers?

You can water flowers in the morning or in the evening. But never at noon. That is, "noon water" must not be used. Although many people think it's hot at noon and water evaporates quickly, what if the plant lacks water? This way of thinking is wrong. After watering at noon, the temperature difference in the potting soil suddenly increases, which easily causes the plant's root cells to rupture, leading to root rot, and then yellow leaves and dry leaves appear.

Besides the rules of watering, there are also many easily overlooked aspects of fertilizing.

2. Not knowing how to fertilize flowers

There is a lot of knowledge behind fertilizing. Most flowers require light but frequent fertilizing. Because if the fertilizer is too concentrated, it will burn the plant's roots, and then the roots will rot. This will affect the effective absorption of nutrients. Naturally, plant growth will be hindered. Besides light but frequent fertilizing, there are a few more points to note.

Fertilizer must not be placed too close to the roots.

No matter what fertilizer you apply to flowers, it's good to remember: fertilize along the edge of the flower pot. This is also to protect the roots. In addition, you cannot water immediately after fertilizing; you must wait until the next day to water.

To grow flowers well, besides getting rid of the above two wrong practices, you actually only need to remember one gardening mnemonic. Most vendors in flower markets follow this mnemonic, and they can keep any flower alive. This mnemonic is "water when dry, stop when wet; light but frequent fertilizing; don't fertilize near the roots."

Follow the above mnemonic to grow flowers, and you will definitely grow them well. Of course, more importantly, you still need to "put your heart into it"!
