What flower-growing proverbs did our ancestors leave us?
1. Why need to understand every word when gazing at each other? The one who loves flowers most is the one who cherishes them.
2. To grow flowers, first grow the leaves; to grow leaves, first grow the roots.
3. Water flowers with snow water, and they will be both large and beautiful.
4. Do not water when dry; when you water, water thoroughly.
5. Fish water is fertilizer, rice water makes them strong; tap water is fine only after standing overnight.
6. If you do not prune roses, next year's blooms will be sparse.
7. Cut off the calyx of the rose, and the flowers will keep coming without end.
8. Fertilize during the flowering season, and both buds and petals will be burned off.
9. Pomegranates in the sun are red as fire; apricots in the shade are sour to the heart.
10. Plant hibiscus in autumn and store it in a cellar; plant cuttings next year and the flowering branches will be vigorous.
11. Chloranthus survives the shade, jasmine survives the sun.
12. Diligent people keep fish, lazy people grow flowers (we are all lazy people).
13. When a woman grows flowers, the man leaves home (a Russian proverb; probably because the woman tends the garden so well that the man must go out to earn money to keep the garden in good shape).
14. A watched flower never blooms, but an unplanned willow becomes shade (everyone on Earth knows this).
15. When the plum rains fall endlessly, it is exactly the time for cuttings.
16. Take poinsettia cuttings in spring, and they will take shape by autumn of the same year.
17. Amaryllis planted deep will not bloom; winter coral with too much water will not bear fruit.
18. Prepare enough soil for repotting early, choose a good pot and disinfect it well; the base fertilizer at the bottom must be fully rotted.
19. When the Buddha's hand is brought out of the room, prune the dead branches; feed it with light fertilizer and apply it frequently; use remedies wisely to prevent diseased branches.
20. If your home has no south-facing wall, do not plant hosta and crabapple (they like shade).
21. Divide peonies in the spring breeze, and they will never bloom even when old (messing with them in spring harms the roots).
22. A mild, humid environment is best; cultivate camellias and they will bloom beautifully.
23. During the budding and flower-bud stage, potted camellias must not be moved (just like a woman who should not exercise too much while giving birth).
24. If room temperature is high and the air is dry, camellia buds easily drop. (High temperature means above 15°C.)
25. Put on a plastic film cover in winter, and camellias will keep warm well (the same principle as a plastic greenhouse).
26. Western azaleas stay above zero, remain dormant and do not grow leggy; then they will have many petals, vivid colors and vigorous flowering branches. (Above zero: winter temperatures above 0°C.)
27. Carefully manage water-grown narcissus, and the color will be vivid and the fragrance fuller (early growth stage).

Supplement:
1. Amaryllis planted deep is good for producing offsets, planted shallow is good for blooming: this means planting it shallower helps it bloom, while planting it deeper helps it produce small offsets.
2. Plant peonies in spring, and they will never bloom even when old: this means not all flowers and plants are suitable for spring planting. Peonies have well-developed root systems, and if transplanted in this season, the roots will inevitably be damaged, leading to insufficient nutrient uptake and very likely the phenomenon of "never blooming even when old."
