Growing flowers has now become a common way for modern people to pass the time. Generally, when many people first start growing flowers, they choose easy-to-grow green plants, such as pothos or pennywort, and gradually, as time goes on and they gain more experience, they start growing some eye-catching flowering plants. But recently quite a few flower lovers have reported that with these kinds of plants and flowers, it really is "one pot" raised, "one pot" dead!

Here Huahua wants to tell the vast number of flower lovers that it is not that your care methods are lacking, but that these kinds of flowers are truly recognized in the flower world as "hard to grow." The first flower to avoid is the Phalaenopsis orchid. Phalaenopsis orchids are loved by many people because their shape is as delicate as a butterfly and their blooms are beautiful in color.

But this flower is also truly a "femme fatale," genuinely hard to grow. Kept at home, it always withers and drops without warning and finally "perishes." Actually, the most important aspect of caring for Phalaenopsis orchids is fertilizing. When fertilizing Phalaenopsis orchids, try not to use too much, and it should also be a thin fertilizer water containing nitrogen and phosphorus elements, as this is more beneficial to the growth of the flower's root system. Of course, Phalaenopsis orchids should also be watered as little as possible, and water droplets should not remain on the leaf surface, to prevent the leaves from turning yellow and withered.

When it comes to hard-to-grow flowers, Clivia miniata can also be included among them. Clivia miniata has glossy green leaves that look very attractive, but if you want to grow it to the point of blooming, it really takes a lot of effort, because Clivia miniata is a plant that very easily suffers root rot, and improper watering will cause the leaves to turn yellow and withered. So with Clivia miniata, try not to water too frequently, and it is best to repot once a year, so as to ensure the healthy growth of Clivia miniata.

Rieger begonia is also called rose begonia. This really counts as a major headache in the hearts of flower lovers, because its shape closely resembles a rose and it has many flower colors. When it blooms, the petals are layered one upon another and are truly beautiful, but many times it dies before it even blooms. Actually, the main reasons causing the "death" of Rieger begonia lie in watering and light.

Rieger begonia should be watered sparingly. Generally, wait until its soil has dried out completely before watering, and watering thoroughly all at once this way is more beneficial to growth. Rieger begonia is a shade-loving plant and is not very suitable for exposure to strong light. Diffused light indoors can help it carry out photosynthesis and absorb nutrients.

The last one is jasmine. Jasmine belongs to southern plants, so it is relatively difficult for flower lovers in the north to grow it. It likes to live in slightly acidic soil, so alkaline soil needs to be neutralized for acidity and alkalinity. Also, jasmine likes light, so try to place it on a balcony for care. Only by paying attention to these few points will jasmine be relatively easy to keep alive.

Finally, Huahua reminds everyone that if you want to grow flowers but have no experience, try to avoid these four kinds of flowers. After all, flowers are also living things, and it would be such a pity to raise them to death.
