Never take these 3 kinds of plants home from the flower market, whoever grows them will regret it
I believe flower lovers, besides enjoying weeding and watering flowers at home, must also love strolling around the flower market. Flower enthusiasts can spend a whole day wandering through the flower market, and when they see some novel plants, they can't resist wanting to take them home, whether they are brightly colored flowering plants or evergreen potted plants that are easy to grow, placing them at home is a beautiful visual enjoyment. But many friends will discover after browsing enough that there are big "tricks" hidden in this! There are 3 kinds of "plants" that you must never buy and take home, everyone who has grown them will regret it, if you don't believe it, let's take a look.
1. Plants with shiny leaves
As soon as you enter the flower market, it feels like walking into a colorful new world, and I believe many friends have this feeling. Many plants in the flower market give people a very perfect first impression, and that is because some vendors, in order to make the plants eye-catching, spray "shine agent" on the surface of the plant leaves. This kind of plant is so beautiful that it looks like a "fake flower," and the vendor even assures you that they are "glossy" because they are moist, but after you actually buy them and take them home, they start to wither within 1 week.
2. Plants sold in combined arrangements
This situation is very common in growing succulents, because a single succulent is cheap and the profit is small, so sellers usually put many different kinds of beautiful succulents together in one pot and sell them as a combination. In fact, succulents also have their own different "preferences." Do not listen to the seller's boast that they can survive by just watering them a little every day, and with the succulents packed so tightly together, they simply cannot grow large. If you really want to grow them, it is still recommended to buy multiple small pots, with one plant per pot arranged in a row. Not only is the survival rate higher, it also looks equally beautiful.
3. Very light plants
Plants with truly lush branches and leaves have very developed root systems, so if a potted plant is very light, there must be "tricks" inside. If you pick up a potted plant in the flower market and find that it is very light, it means its root system is short and small, there is not much soil, and it is also possible that some unscrupulous vendors add other fillers like foam inside. These are all unfavorable for plant growth. Therefore, if you buy it and take it home but cannot keep it alive, it really is not because you do not know how to grow flowers!
Having said so much, the main point is still to summarize the "practical tips" for everyone on buying flowers at the flower market. Never take them home just because they look good. If the vendor used "additives" that harm the plants, then no matter what you do, you cannot save them. Spending so much money and also making yourself regretful and sad is not worth it.
