Must Know | Don't Be a Busybody When Growing Flowers - The More Diligent You Are, the Faster Your Flowers Die

Everyone says busybodies can't grow flowers well, but why exactly is that? Hurry up and take a look with Huahua!

Watering every day means certain death

Busybodies have just one problem - they can't keep their hands off. They fuss about all day long, watering their flowers 10 times a day. After a few days, the flowers kick the bucket, and they're still there feeling wronged.

1. The correct method is: don't water if it's not dry, and water thoroughly when you do. Stick a toothpick into the soil, leave it for 10 minutes and then take it out. If it's dry, water; if it's wet, wait a few more days.

2. Point the watering can at the roots and water slowly. Don't pour it over the top of the plant. Stop watering once you see water flowing out of the bottom of the pot.

Fertilize sparingly

If your flowers aren't growing well, does it definitely mean they lack fertilizer? Not necessarily. It could be lack of water, lack of light, poor ventilation... Some flower lovers just dump fertilizer in, and the result is the problem isn't solved, but the flowers get burned to death.

If your flowers are planted in nutrient soil, you don't need to fertilize too frequently. About once every one to two months is enough.

But if your soil is ordinary garden soil, you need to apply light fertilizer frequently, fertilizing once every 15 to 30 days to increase the soil's nutrients.

Don't move the position casually

Some flower lovers move their flowers around to give them enough sunlight. But actually, moving the position so frequently means the plants have just adapted to one environment when they're moved to a new one, which is very bad for their health.

It's best to place them on a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill. Once you've chosen a good spot, don't move them around casually.

For some flowers and plants suited to short-day conditions, such as Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) and poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima), place them on an east or west balcony, so they can get 3 to 4 days' worth of sunlight in a day.

Don't repot casually

Many flower lovers want to immediately repot their flowers into a prettier pot after buying them. Actually, this isn't good, because bought plants need an adaptation period, and only after the roots have grown well can they be repotted.

It's best to repot in spring or autumn, when plants are in their growing season, making it easier for them to adapt to the new environment after repotting.

When repotting, it's best to combine root pruning and soil replacement. Cut off the rotten and old roots, and mix leaf mold, perlite, vermiculite, etc. into the potting soil.
