More and more people are growing flowers now, so browsing the flower market has naturally become part of daily life. Although some common flowers and plants can survive once you take them home, that does not rule out picking out some "problematic" flowers. After all, this flower market has quite a lot of "tricks". It is a bit better for veteran flower growers, but for flower lovers who are just starting out and have no experience, you must be extra careful when buying flowers. So which flowers at the flower market have problems? Next, Potted Plant Inn will briefly talk about it for flower lovers, hoping that you can pay more attention in the process of choosing flowers in the future.

The first kind of flower: flowers that have just been repotted with nutrient soil

When we go to the flower market to buy flowers, remember that it is best not to choose those flowers and plants that have "just been given new soil and a new pot". Why? Because these flowers and plants generally only have their nutrient soil replaced when they have root rot or pests. Flowers that have just been repotted are very likely to wither and die after being taken home because they cannot adapt to the environment. When choosing flowers, it is best to choose those whose potting soil has not just been replaced. That way you do not have to worry about whether they once had root rot. If the soil has just been replaced and you happen to want to grow a pot, then just ask the flower vendor directly and have them explain why the soil is new.

The second kind of flower: unknown wild flowers passed off as precious flowers and plants and combined into potted plants

This situation is very common, especially among orchid varieties. Many people know that there are a great many orchid varieties, and there are often quite a few varieties in the wild. Some vendors will package wild grasses and wild flowers and claim they are rare varieties, thereby raising the price. After all, as flower lovers who enjoy growing flowers, none of us are botany experts, so it is hard to tell whether they are truly orchids. In addition, the silver willows and various seedlings sold at some markets should not be trusted easily either, since you cannot judge whether they are genuine.

The third kind of flower: foliage plants sprayed with leaf shine, such as pothos and peace lily

Leaf shine is a liquid commonly used in the flower market. Its effect is to increase the greenness and glossiness of the leaves of evergreen foliage plants. With just a little spray, the leaves of the whole plant can look so green that they shine. Full of vitality, anyone who sees it will want to buy a pot and take it home to grow. In fact, it is best not to take this kind of plant sprayed with leaf shine home, because too much spray will affect the plant's respiration and transpiration, and over time it will cause rotten leaves and yellow leaves. Actually, it is also easy to tell when choosing flowers. Just touch it, and if you feel a layer of oily moisture, that means leaf shine has been sprayed. Even if this flower is 1 yuan a pot, do not take it home to grow.

The above 3 kinds are the flowers most prone to problems at the flower market. Flower lovers must pay attention to this in the future when growing flowers, so they do not buy a pot of flowers, take it home, and have it wither and die after only a few days. Sometimes killing a flower really is not a matter of not knowing how to grow it, but of being tricked by a vendor.

That is all for sharing knowledge about flowers. Thank you for reading!
