Being too eager with your plants can actually kill them one pot at a time - have you fallen into this trap?

Be diligent with fish, be lazy with flowers - this saying is absolutely true. Flower growing does not favor busy, eager people. There are always gardening friends complaining in the group that the flowers they grow either turn yellow and rot at the roots, or wither and droop. They feel they have taken very good care of them, watering and fertilizing often. Well, let me tell you, the reason your flowers are doing poorly is that you are too eager.

Many friends may have committed the taboos of flower growing. When they have nothing to do, they always like to water the flowers a bit, fertilize a bit, put them here today, and then move them there tomorrow when cleaning, fussing over them all day long. Quite a few flowers end up being fussed to death.

These are the people flower growing fears most:

One: Watering whenever there is nothing to do

Looking at the lush, vibrant plants, you just want them to grow faster, so you water every day when you have nothing to do, and then do not water for half a month when you are busy. The poor flowers go hungry one meal and full the next, and before long they are sallow and thin. No one gives them proper care and conditioning, and then you think they are short of water, so you hurry to water again. As a result, even the most vigorous flowers get fussed to death by you.

If you do not know the habits of the flowers, then when watering plants you should follow the principle of "do not water until dry, and when you water, water thoroughly." That way you will not kill everything you grow.

Two: Thinking the flowers grow too slowly, so fertilizing heavily

I once saw a gardening friend who brought back a big bag of fermented chicken manure from his hometown. He was so delighted that he poured half a pot of chicken manure onto a pothos, just because he was afraid the pothos would grow slowly. It turned into a tragedy: the pothos drooped the very next day, and within a few days even the stems had dried out completely. It was thoroughly dead.

Fertilizer is indeed a good thing for plants, but if you blindly fertilize plants regardless of the reason and regardless of the timing, that is a taboo in flower growing. For flowers whose habits you are not clear about, always apply thin fertilizer frequently, and try not to apply heavy fertilizer. Also, the fertilizer needed during the growing period and the flowering period is different, and no fertilizer is needed during the flowering period. All of this must be clearly understood.

When fertilizing, also avoid applying too much at one time, as this easily burns the roots. Generally speaking, if you are using ordinary soil for growing flowers, fertilizing about once every two weeks is enough.

The third taboo of flower growing: moving the flower pot around at will

Some plants like light, and some like shade. When placing plants at home, you should decide according to the different preferences of the plants. But frequently moving plants around is wrong. Especially for plants that are about to bloom, never move them around at will. There was once a gardening friend whose Christmas cactus was covered with flower buds, and he was delighted. He kept moving it here to take a look, then carrying it over there to take a look, and as a result, within a few days, more than half of the buds dropped off.

Because the plant has just adapted to a new environment and then is moved to another one, it will certainly need another period of time to adapt, which is very unfavorable for the plant's growth. It is best to put it in one place and not move it around at will.
