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. Someone will surely 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 is 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, place the succulents in a cool, ventilated place to acclimate for 1-2 weeks.
5. Once the succulents have established themselves in the pot, they can be placed in direct sunlight. If you want the succulents to have beautiful 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, which will make the succulents grow plumper and plumper!
1 yuan per stalk lucky bamboo, leaves so green they drip oil!
Huahua went 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 so green it drips oil?
1. Many lucky bamboo stalks 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 [a certain 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 hydroponically grown lucky bamboo has yellow leaves, you can drop 1-2 rusty iron nails into the water cultivation bottle to supplement nutrients for the lucky bamboo, making it grow more and more vigorously!
6 yuan clivia, leaves so glossy they shine!
Flower friend "Jia You Chi Huo Yi Mei" 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 leaves so glossy they shine?
1. Light
Clivia likes light, and in spring, autumn, and winter it can receive some direct sunlight. But in summer, when temperatures are high and the sun is too harsh, it is best to move the clivia to a cool, ventilated indoor spot from after 8 AM to before 6 PM. Never expose it to direct sunlight.
2. Pay attention to watering
Clivia has fleshy roots and does not have a particularly high demand for water. Normally, you can dig about 2 cm into the soil surface to check. If it is completely dry, then it is 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-bearing crops like peanuts or melon 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!
