I have a good buddy who usually just loves tending to flowers and plants. He does not care for drinking or playing mahjong. He prefers to "potter around with plants." His balcony is full of flowers and plants, and the orchids especially grow really well, lush and thriving, every pot looking full of vigor and particularly beautiful.

They say men who love growing flowers are careful and kind. Haha, that really is true. Every time I visit his home, the house is neat and quiet, and a strong scholarly air greets you. Either blooming roses or flourishing orchids, full of life and vitality, as if you were in a jungle garden, particularly charming.

And would you believe it, there is something special about these orchids. How do they grow so well? A person who loves cleanliness can always come up with clean ways to grow orchids. The surface of the pot is covered with a full row of pebbles, with none of the messy feel of soil, looking especially fresh and clean. This buddy says he has used pebbles to grow orchids for many years, and they have always grown especially well. These pebbles are taken from the river, clean and hygienic. Spread on the pot surface, they ensure the potting soil is loose and highly breathable, and not prone to waterlogging. When watering normally, you just need to be a bit diligent; water whenever it dries out.

However, growing orchids with pebbles, aside from good looseness and breathability, lacks nutrients considerably, so you need to pay attention to supplementing fertilizer for the orchids regularly. Generally, apply orchid-specific nutrient solution once a month. It effectively promotes the growth of the orchid root system. Especially for orchids grown with pebbles, it can promote more robust growth and better resistance, so they are not afraid of wind and rain and can withstand the test of hardship.

Now this good buddy's balcony is his little garden, and he spends all day happily tending his flowers and plants, never wanting to leave. In others' eyes, it looks like he has nothing to do, but in the heart of a flower grower, this is also a kind of spiritual sustenance.

Flowers and leaves have life; the grower merely gives them a special emotion. Treat growing flowers as a beautiful thing, and life is sweet and joyful at every moment.
