Other people's clivia keep going for 20 years, and the whole pot turns into a giant ball of blooms
Huahua once heard a friend say that in the year she was born, her mom bought a potted flower at a flower market. Now, more than 20 years later, this plant has accompanied her as she grew up, and next it will keep her company as her own baby grows up too. It really sounds so touching! Actually, sometimes the plants at home are like family, always staying by our side...
A 20-year-old clivia, even a big vat can't contain it!!
The flower lover "Whale Over New York" said she has a clivia at home that she has been growing for more than 20 years, and it looks like it's even taller than half a person!
The flower lover said she waters about once every 7-10 days and has never fertilized it. After buying the largest pot on the market and repotting it, she never repotted it again, because she couldn't find a suitable pot anymore!
And another flower lover, "Wocaodi," said he has a Qingdao Broadsword clivia that he has also been growing for more than 20 years. Hasn't it already turned into a cluster of clivias?
Then look at the clivias in other flower lovers' homes, casually 20 years, 30 years. Huahua admits defeat!

A 20-year-old jasmine, grown into a 2 m little tree!
Many flower lovers say that when jasmine is grown for a long time, it blooms less and less, and the branches and leaves also get smaller. But there is an elderly gentleman who grows flowers, and his jasmine has been grown for 20 years, still blooming every month, and it's almost turning into a jasmine tree!
When talking about his experience growing jasmine, the elderly gentleman said directly, just 4 words: lots of fertilizer, lots of water! Usually he mainly uses some rotted chicken manure and duck manure, which is not only rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but also won't burn the roots; jasmine is not drought tolerant, so you must water it often. In summer when the weather is hot, you can water it several more times; in winter evaporation is slow, so watering a few times less is fine.
Then look at another flower lover, "Li Xiaofeng 633." He also has a 20-year-old old-stump jasmine at home, but it was just pruned and looks bare and not very attractive.
But we can measure it with a ruler, haha. This lowest branch is close to 9 cm, it's simply unbelievable!
The flower lover "Guardian Tianyue" said that a friend of her mother's, because of moving, gave her family a jasmine that had been grown for 15 years, and it was even a Pointed-Petal jasmine. Unfortunately, because it got leafcutter bees, the whole plant was badly weakened and almost died!
A 10-year-old kalanchoe old stump, blooming into a tree!
The flower lover "Ziyiren-AA" said she has a 10-year-old kalanchoe 'Orange Red' at home. This kalanchoe directly split into 2 large branches, and they are even symmetrically distributed in the pot!
When talking about the secret to growing it for 10 years, the flower lover herself said that since she bought this kalanchoe, it has always been placed on the balcony, the soil has never been changed, and she waters it a little or with rapeseed cake water when she remembers. Without much care, it grew into an old stump!
And another flower lover, "3 Purple Mulberries," has a 5-year-old kalanchoe old stump at home. It has completely turned into a little tree!
Now look at another flower lover "1389268XXX"'s 3-year-old old stump. Usually it is just left on the south windowsill and not really cared for, yet the number of flowers is still very large. It really makes people envy it to death!
A 20-year-old gardenia, blooming 100 flowers!
The flower lover "Caramel Horse Riding a Cloud" said that her dad has a gardenia grown for 20 years. The more it is pruned, the more it looks like a bonsai, but when it blooms the fragrance is especially strong, and fertilizing just once a year with cake fertilizer is enough!
"Changsha Xizai's Dad" also has a gardenia, grown for more than 20 years. At a glance, it looks no different from those bonsais worth tens of thousands! Huahua can even imagine how fragrant it must be when it blooms!
The flower lover "hhq115" said his family has a gardenia that has already been grown for more than 10 years. His grandmother also said gardenia is the White Tiger Spirit, though no one knows why.
Every year when it blooms, her family has her take a basket of petals to school, so gardenia has become an important part of her life.
A 35-year-old mock orange, its fragrance carries 5 li away!
The flower lover "vnet19999" said there is a 35-year-old mock orange at his doorway. Because in the past he didn't know how to shape it and chopped and pruned it randomly, the tree shape is not that attractive now.
The flower lover said this mock orange was planted by his parents back then. At that time it was still a small seedling, and he never expected that 35 years later the lower part of the trunk would actually be thicker than a mineral water bottle. Usually, smearing a little lime powder on the trunk can stop ants from settling on it.
The flower lover "Beijing Old Pipi" has a mock orange grown for 7 or 8 years. His care experience is to give the mock orange long sunlight, turn the pot appropriately, and if you want more branches, you can soak some watermelon rind water and pour it on. When growing mock orange in the north, you must remember to supplement acid in time!
And at the home of a flower lover named Fengfeng, there is a mock orange nearly 40 years old, and the circumference of just the tree head is 80 cm. One embrace almost can't get around it. This is simply the giant among mock oranges!
An 18-year-old honeysuckle, the whole tree blooms!
The flower lover "Wan Hua Nong Ying" has an old-stump honeysuckle at home that has been grown for 18 years so far. Every time it blooms, it turns into a honeysuckle tree. It simply makes people envious and jealous!
And another enviable one is the flower lover below, "Soap-Smelling Egret." Her honeysuckle is planted in the ground, and every time the honeysuckle blooms, it looks like a big flower ball. Pick a few flowers and brew them as tea, and the taste is really quite good!
"Qinghe hhydwg" said that 8 years ago he bought a pot of honeysuckle by the roadside for 5 yuan. At that time it was not even as thick as a chopstick, and he never expected it would now grow until it bursts out of the pot! He said care is actually very simple: more ventilation, don't water too frequently, and thin weak branches can be cut off directly.
A 20-year-old cactus, bearing 50 fruits at once!
At the home of the flower lover "xianbilai," since he was in elementary school, he planted cactus leaves in the ground and they survived. He never expected that 20 years later, this tree would grow taller than a person!
Not only is it tall, but every time it blooms and fruits, it can produce dozens of fruits. It really makes people look at it with new eyes!
Next, look at the cactus at "Today Tour bd"'s home. The flower lover bought it in his hometown for 500 yuan, and its age is probably around 20 years too!
"Still Loving You Hui" said that her grandmother's home also has a cactus more than 20 years old, but one year it was blown down by a typhoon, and then half was cut off and replanted. Now every time it blooms, it is also a cactus tree.
A 20-year-old cactus column, taller than 5 stories!
After seeing the flower lover "Zhang Wenhui"'s Cereus peruvianus, Huahua truly understood what a cactus column is! Huahua counted a little, and this Cereus peruvianus has already grown to 5 stories high!
The flower lover "A'an Momoda" said that a few days ago when she returned to her hometown, she saw in the village a cactus column that had grown for more than 10 years, and it really was about to exceed the roof!
The flower lover "Approximately Equal to 997 Kilometers" said that her mom has grown a cactus column for more than 10 years, but she is not too clear what variety it is. Huahua thinks this seems to be Cereus peruvianus, right?
A 20-year-old aloe, immediately poking the roof!
Some flower lovers keep saying every day, why does their aloe always die? Hurry and take a look at other people's aloe, it is directly about to poke the roof!
