Want to grow flowers well? You need to learn how to use these several chemicals

Many people say growing flowers is hard, but in my view, with scientific flower growing and the right chemicals, flowers grow very well. Of course, there are also some folk formulas that work well, such as adding vinegar, adding sugar, and so on. As long as it is a flower problem, it can actually be solved with chemicals. Whether you want flowers to grow fast, grow slow, go dormant, or wake up, all of this can be controlled at will through commonly used chemicals. Below we introduce several commonly used ones.

Naphthaleneacetic acid, abbreviated NAA, is the most commonly used broad-spectrum plant growth regulator. It can promote cell division and expansion, induce the formation of adventitious roots, and increase fruit set. For seeds such as rice and wheat, soaking them in diluted naphthaleneacetic acid for a few hours makes them easier to germinate. It is also widely used for plants propagated by cuttings, basically used as rooting powder, commonly known as rooting powder. But I want to say that naphthaleneacetic acid is poorly soluble in cold water. When preparing it, first dissolve it with a small amount of alcohol, then dilute with water according to different ratios for different crops.

Gibberellin can break seed dormancy and promote seed germination. It can also be used on succulents. I feel the most interesting use is on succulents, as it can make succulent seeds germinate quickly and succulents grow fast. I once used it on Dendrobium officinale and Huoshan Dendrobium with unexpected results, with especially many flowers, but after use the leaves would turn slightly red and then produce many flowers. After that they frantically put out new shoots. Used on chrysanthemums, they not only grow fast but can also induce bolting and flowering, and the effect on bougainvillea and wood chrysanthemum and the like is obvious. It is used very widely in nurseries and greenhouses. Nurseries use it to make garden plants grow quickly and make saplings grow faster, while greenhouses use it to control the flowering period.

Abscisic acid - its effect is exactly the opposite of gibberellin, and it is used for plant dormancy, mostly for tuberous-root and bulbous plants. Sometimes we wonder why the bulbous plants we buy are so good, but the ones we store ourselves always sprout?

During the Beijing Olympics, millions of pots of fresh flowers throughout Beijing were treated with abscisic acid to ensure they remained in full bloom. Abscisic acid is also an effective inhibitor of seed germination, so it can be used for seed storage to ensure the storage quality of seeds and fruits. In addition, abscisic acid can also cause the rapid closure of leaf stomata, and can be used for preserving cut flowers and regulating the flowering period. Abscisic acid is especially effective for preserving fresh flowers and extending the flowering period.
