Choose the right time for flowers

When we buy potted plants, we should choose regular merchants, and try not to choose small traders and vendors at roadside stalls. Even if we choose to buy potted plants, we must ask what kind of plants we want to buy and what season flowers they belong to.

Different time and seasons, to buy different varieties of flowers, some flowers enter the summer dormancy period, basically do not blossom after buying home, and if they are inexperienced, they will be raised to death in a few days, so it is critical to adjust measures to the times.

Observe the overall effect

The appearance of flowers is the most intuitive factor for us to quickly judge whether the plant is healthy and grows well. We can observe the height of the plant, whether the stems and leaves are fresh, whether there is wilting, rolling leaves, and whether the size of the plant is appropriate to the size of the flowerpot.

Some potted plants look lush and vigorous, which is likely to be treated by vendors, such as spraying some brightener to make the leaves look green.

Especially when we buy some large living room potted plants, such as evergreen, rich trees, etc., merchants will spray brightener in order to maintain their appearance. It is best to wipe the leaves of these plants after buying them home. Otherwise, these chemicals left on the leaves will hinder plant photosynthesis, and the leaves are easy to wither.

Identify the authenticity of potted plants

For woody flowers, you can grasp the stems of flowers and trees, if you can lift them with mud, it is generally a real potted plant, otherwise it is a fake potted plant, for herbaceous flowers, you can pull them a little harder, and if the flowers are stable, it is a real potted plant, but if you can easily pull it away from the flowerpot, it is a fake potted plant.

Soil ball root system condition

If we buy flowers with soil balls, we should observe the size of soil balls. If soil balls are small and loose, generally do not buy them. They may be fake soil balls in clay bags. Plant root sparse is not recommended to buy, root system is developed, luxuriant is the best.

Plant basin soil is new and old.

When we choose potted plants, we can observe the freshness of the potted soil, from which we can speculate the potting time of the plants. If the potted soil is very new, it means that the potting time is short and it is not recommended to buy it.

Flowers that have just entered the pot are relatively fragile, and there is also a stage of potting period. if they are not properly maintained, it is very difficult to survive. When choosing potted plants, we can shake the flowerpot. If the soil at the root is loose, it is not long after it has been put on the pot.

Are there any diseases and insect pests?

When buying flowers, we can also judge whether the plant is healthy by observing the plant leaves to see if there are traces of diseases and insect pests, maculae, disease spots and other phenomena on the leaves, or whether there are insect pests and eggs on the back of the plant leaves that are easy to ignore.

If there are these symptoms, it is best not to buy, otherwise the pest is very troublesome to deal with, and will affect plant growth.
