Buy a flower and just 2 days later it turns yellow and dies, and the vendor says it's not his problem if you don't know how to care for it
These days more and more people are growing flowers, after all, flowers and plants have already become an indispensable part of life. Besides their ornamental value, flowers and plants can also lift the mood of the grower, and some can even purify the air at home, or carry a beautiful meaning. Although growing flowers is simple, there is a lot of know-how involved. Never mind the knowledge of growing flowers, even buying flowers takes a lot of learning. If you don't pay attention, there's a good chance the plant won't survive even after you take it home. Take what one flower vendor said: if the flowers you buy don't die, how am I supposed to stay in business? So there are many tricks of the flower trade they won't tell you, and that inevitably means the plants don't survive.
A flower you just brought home dies after only 2 days of care! The flower vendor says: that's not my responsibility
"Pot Plant Nook, a few days ago I went to our flower market to pick out a clivia, and one plant wasn't cheap either, it cost me several tens of yuan, but when I brought it home and had kept it only a few days, the leaves started turning yellow, yellowing from the bottom up, and now it's like this, clearly on the verge of dying. It's not the money I mind, the point is it breaks my heart! Such a nice flower, why can't I keep it alive? I went to the market, but the boss dodged responsibility and said I don't know how to care for it." This is what a flower friend said in a comment a few days ago. Actually, this kind of situation isn't unique; on the contrary, it's very common. Many people bring a flower home and within a week it turns yellow and dies. Of course, sometimes it's because they don't know how to care for it, but it can also be because of the flower itself before it was bought.
When buying flowers at the flower market, observe the basic condition of the flowers
I believe everyone chooses potted flowers in basically two ways: one is buying online, the second is buying at the flower market. Most people choose the second, after all, you can see and touch them. But even these visible flowers often end up being poor specimens from the vendor because people don't pay attention. So we need to stay alert and carefully observe some basic conditions of the flowers. For example, are the leaves of foliage plants emerald green, are there any yellow leaves, are the stems and leaves of flowering plants sturdy, are there many buds? Normally, flowers with yellow leaves shouldn't be bought, and neither should ones whose buds have already finished blooming, otherwise they'll wither within a few days of getting them home.
An easily overlooked detail: try not to buy flowers that have just been repotted
To grow flowers you first grow the roots, I believe everyone understands this principle. And whether the roots grow well depends entirely on the nutrient soil. The flowers in the flower market that have just been repotted were basically repotted for 3 reasons. First, the flower's own roots had rotted, and it was replanted after the roots were trimmed. Second, the soil in the flower's original pot had become compacted, the soil had no nutrients, and new soil had to be used. Third, the flower was a newly transplanted plant, and at this point the roots are relatively tender, or there are even no roots grown yet. If it's one of these three reasons, then it may not be good, and buying such a flower and taking it home will most likely not survive. Unless you're a veteran who has grown flowers for many years.
Having read this far, I believe you've got the hang of the tricks, right? Actually, whether buying flowers or growing them, as long as you're more attentive and careful, there's no problem. From now on, when choosing flowers, pay a bit more attention. That's all for sharing knowledge about growing flowers, thank you for reading!
