How to Identify Flowers and Nursery Stock? A Full Analysis of Practical Methods

Potted flowers not only have a certain decorative function, but can also purify indoor air. So how do you identify whether potted flowers are good or bad?

First, when buying, it is best to choose nursery stock and grow it yourself. If you have no experience, you can take a closer look at the potting soil. There are two types of nursery stock on the market: one with a soil ball, and one with bare roots and no soil ball. Those with soil balls are mostly evergreen flowers. Generally speaking, nursery stock with a soil ball is of stable quality and is conducive to survival, so you should try to choose this type of nursery stock. Some nursery stock on the market has fake soil balls made by flower growers. You can lift the nursery stock and shake it gently. If the soil ball easily falls off completely, it is fake, and you must absolutely not buy this kind of flower. When buying bare-root flowers, note that it is best to do so when the buds have just begun to sprout, and choose nursery stock with luxuriant, fresh branches and leaves and an intact root system with no breakage.

Second, never be fooled by the illusion of lush greenery and abundant flowers and fruit. Perhaps it was just shipped from a flower base, and the flower vendor casually took a flower pot, planted it with a bit of soil, and then sprayed it with a brightening agent. It looks like it is growing well, but in fact it will die after just a few days at home. Some unscrupulous vendors even "stick" plants with no root hairs into the soil for consumers to buy. You must strictly guard against being cheated.

In short, when buying potted flowers, you must choose carefully and never seek convenience. Fresh flowers need people's careful care.
