Bought Flowers Online Keep Dying? Because You Didn't Do These Two Things

Online shopping is extremely popular nowadays, and buying flowers online has likewise become a trend. Basically, many flowers that cannot be bought at local flower markets can be found online. But flowers bought online are often quite difficult to keep alive. Apart from environmental and care conditions, the damage caused during the express delivery process is also irreversible. Today I will introduce the methods for acclimating flowers bought online to improve the survival rate of the plants.

Generally speaking, after we receive the plants delivered by express, we should first give them simple treatment. Any leaves that have turned yellow or rotted should be cleaned up first, then plant them and move them into pots, water them well with the settling water, and place them in a cool, ventilated spot to acclimate. During the acclimation period, keep them ventilated and it is not recommended to expose them to the sun.

If they are succulents, generally you do not need to water with settling water; planting them in moist soil is enough. During the adaptation period, do not fertilize the plants, to avoid damaging the roots, and improper fertilizing can also easily cause fertilizer burn.

During the acclimation period, a small amount of yellowing leaves, leaf drop, flower drop and bud drop may occur, and growth may briefly stop, similar to a dormant state. This is a normal phenomenon.

Finally, to sum up: flowers during the acclimation period need good ventilation conditions and diffused light, and when the surface soil in the pot looks dry, water it thoroughly. Just do these two things well; no special care is needed, and you must not be too attentive. Exposing them to the sun or fertilizing them during the acclimation period is basically just doing harm instead of good.
