A potted flower bought for 1 yuan and kept for 1 year, wouldn't sell it even for 1000 yuan
1-yuan succulents, plump and chubby!
Speaking of the cheapest flowers, the first thing Huahua thinks of is definitely those 1-yuan succulents that the experts unbox and livestream every day. Surely someone will ask, can these 1-yuan succulents really be grown well? Of course they can!
How to care for plump and chubby succulents?
1. Check the roots + prune
For newly bought succulent seedlings, observe each one to see if there are any rotten roots or black rot parts. If there are, promptly cut off those rotten roots or black rot parts to prevent bacterial infection.
2. If you have carbendazim at home, it's best to soak the newly bought succulent seedlings in a carbendazim solution for a few hours, then take them out and let them dry in a cool, ventilated place.
3. Pot the newly bought succulents. You can place some ceramic pellets at the bottom of the pot for drainage and airflow, then prepare loose, breathable nutrient soil, and you can mix a few granules of succulent slow-release fertilizer into the potting soil.
4. After potting the succulents, place them in a cool, ventilated place to recover for 1-2 weeks,
5. Once the succulents have settled into the pot, they can be placed in direct sunlight. If you want the succulents to have nice colors, be sure to control watering, increase the temperature difference between day and night, and bury a few granules of slow-release fertilizer in the pot, and the succulents will grow plumper and plumper!
1-yuan lucky bamboo, with leaves so green they drip oil!
Huahua went out shopping with friends in the evening and happened to see flowers being sold on the street. Upon asking, she found out that lucky bamboo was only 1 yuan per stalk. Huahua immediately bought a bunch, and when she took them home and put them in a vase, they looked absolutely gorgeous!
How to care for lucky bamboo so it's green and glossy?
1. Many lucky bamboo plants just bought and brought home have no roots. At this point, we can use sterilized scissors to cut the bottom end of the lucky bamboo at a 45° angle, thereby increasing the contact area with water.
2. Prepare a clean bottle, add about 1/2-2/3 water to the bottle, then insert the lucky bamboo directly into the bottle.
3. In about that time, the lucky bamboo will have rooted! After rooting, you can continue to grow it in water, or transfer it to soil for soil cultivation.
4. If water-cultured lucky bamboo has yellow leaves, you can drop 1-2 rusty iron nails into the water culture bottle to supplement nutrients for the lucky bamboo, so that it grows more and more vigorously!
6-yuan clivia, with glossy oily leaves!
A flower enthusiast named "Home Has a Foodie" said that when he went to the country market, he happened to see someone selling clivia. The auntie said to pay whatever he thought was fair, and he happened to have 6 yuan in change on him, so he just bought a pot of clivia!
How to care for glossy oily leaves?
1. Light
Clivia likes light, and in spring, autumn and winter it can take some direct sunlight, but in summer when the temperature is high and the sun is too harsh, it's best to move the clivia to a cool, ventilated indoor spot from after 8 AM to before 6 PM, and never expose it to direct sunlight.
2. Pay attention to watering
Clivia has fleshy roots and doesn't need a particularly large amount of water. Normally you can dig about 2 cm into the soil surface to check; if it's completely dry, then it's time to water. In summer, you can use a spray bottle to mist the leaves in the morning and evening to ensure sufficient humidity.
3. Fertilize frequently
If you want clivia leaves to be glossy and grow vigorously, you need to fertilize frequently. When repotting in spring and autumn, you can bury some oil crops like peanuts or sunflower seeds at the bottom of the pot, or bury a few spoonfuls of used cooking oil in the pot, both of which can supplement nutrients! In summer, if the temperature is above 25°C, stop fertilizing completely!
