In the flower market you can buy any kind of flower, but this kind you should not buy, it turns yellow as soon as you get it home
People who love growing flowers all take advantage of their free time to stroll around the flower market. Most of the flowers they buy come from there too. After all, you can see with your own eyes whether a potted flower is growing well or not, unlike some flowers bought online, where many only turn out to be a scam once they arrive after shipping, and exchanging them is a hassle. But are the flowers in the flower market really that "clean"? Not necessarily!
People who often go to the flower market to buy flowers, especially experienced veteran flower growers, will not buy "this kind" of flower the moment they see it. Which kind? The ones that are foliage plants with extremely glossy leaves. For example, pothos, lucky bamboo, and money tree.
Potted plants with leaves so green they shine may have been coated with a "shine agent", also called a brightener.
Brighteners can make the leaves of foliage plants look so green they shine. Some vendors in the flower market often spray some on the leaves of plants just to make them look good and wait for flower lovers to buy them. Because a layer of oil has been coated on the leaves, this kind of potted plant finds it very hard to carry out photosynthesis and respiration. It only keeps growing inside the greenhouse of the flower market.
Once you buy it and take it home, within just two or three days yellow leaves are bound to appear.
So when you find that the leaves of a foliage plant are so green they shine, there is a good chance something has been applied to them. At this point, flower lovers can tell. Besides looking shiny, you can also touch the plant's leaves with your hand. If they feel slippery, like a layer of oil, then it shows this plant has "something fishy" about it, and no matter how cheap it is, you should not buy it and take it home.
The tricks of the flower market go far beyond these. Here, it is not convenient for us to share more; it is mostly up to you to discover them and buy carefully. After all, the boss of the flower market has said: if the flowers you buy don't die, how am I supposed to stay in business?
Growing flowers requires care, and buying flowers likewise requires care. But overall, going to the flower market to buy flowers is still better than shopping online. After all, there are too many scammers. A while ago, many flower lovers left comments saying that the flowers, fruit trees and nursery stock from a certain place in Suqian are all fake, so be sure to pay attention!
That is all for the knowledge about buying flowers. Thank you for reading!
