Remember my Green Plant time

Unknowingly, it had been more than a year since he stepped into the world of green plants. He had slowly advanced from an ignorant little white to a rookie who knew a little about fur. From knowing only green radish to walking into a florist, you can call out the names of many varieties; from raising only green radish at the beginning to collecting different green plants to decorate the house. Since opening the door, my legs seemed to consciously want to go into the flower shop to see what new varieties had arrived, and I couldn't help but move them back. Perhaps my soul lives in a green paradise dream.

When buying the first pot of green radish, the original intention is only to purify the air of the new house. In fact, a pot of plants can play a very small role, but in psychological suggestion, the concept that green plants can purify the air is still very strong. So there was the first basin, and there was the second basin, and there was the third basin, and from that time on there was no end to it. Green radish, spider orchid, ivy, turtle bamboo, evergreen, tiger tail orchid and so on one by one settled in, in the owner before the first guard cleaning this home.

Gradually when more and more green appeared in sight, I suddenly found myself so fond of these lively life, in the still uninhabited room volatile endless vitality. So last summer, my favorite thing was getting up at 6 a.m., listening to music in my earplugs, going to my new house to water these lovely plants and watch them thrive. Their health means the formaldehyde and benzene in the house are not serious, and it means I take good care of them.

But not all green plants are growing without worry, the first to hang is the tiger tail orchid, its death tells me that the most afraid of raising flowers and plants is my hard-working, I like watering too much, and the tiger tail orchid is not the type of water, because it does not like water, I am a little confused, do not know when to water it. The so-called wet and dry, in the tiger tail orchid body does not apply.

The second one was a small white palm. It was tender at first, but it slowly withered. Because of my love for it, I later entered several pots successively, including soil culture and hydroponic culture, but the outcome was the same. I've always wondered why they didn't make it. Every time I saw the small white palm in the flower shop, I couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but I didn't dare to enter another pot for fear of wasting another fresh life.

After surviving last summer, I was complacent that I could feed more than 95% of the plants, so my enthusiasm could no longer be stopped. Online shopping, flower shops, flower and bird markets, there are varieties I harvest. Looking at my experience of buying green plants, my favorite is to buy green plants in a flower shop near my new house. Although it may be a little more expensive than the flower and bird market, the same green plants bought in the flower shop are in better overall condition than those purchased in the flower and bird market.

As for online shopping, there are risks, one is the difference between the size and shape of the real thing and the picture, and the other is that after non-gentle logistics transportation, it is more or less damaged. However, no matter which way it is purchased, each pot of plants has an adaptation process. Those with strong vitality can grow healthily after experiencing the adaptation to the new environment, while those with weak vitality are easy to bury the seeds of future collapse during the adaptation period.

Today, I have more than 20 different varieties of green plants in my small home, some of which exist in multiple pots, such as fiddle-leaf fig, such as turtle, such as Adiantum, such as hanging orchid. Among them, zither leaves are my favorite, similar to cello shaped unique leaves, efforts to grow up without extra branches growth habits, are deeply in my heart. The only fatal flaw is fear of cold. Last year's severe winter was several degrees colder than previous years. In addition, there was no one to live in at that time, so the air in the house was cold. The poor zither leaves did not survive a pot and became the sole commander. This really makes me heartache for a long time, this spring, I can't wait to collect Qin Ye Rong to move them back home.

What I am most proud of is Adiantum fern. It was also last winter. Its vitality was completely withered. Under my thoughts, I shaved my bald head with a knife, but I couldn't bear to give it up. So as usual to water it, do not want to warm up after the spring, silent winter silence quietly broke in a morning, pulled out the new buds of hope, now long ago did not see the depression at that time, instead of prosperity and vitality.

As for turtleback bamboo, I feel their vitality is strong, but also taught me to raise turtleback bamboo to give them some early shape, otherwise it is likely to develop into a brandish appearance, of course, if you like it is another matter. At first I admired their tendency to grow freely, but one day I noticed that they were growing much more than I expected, and I had to reshape them with a bamboo branch and rope, which seemed a little late.

Growing green plants for more than a year, slowly explore some experience, first of all, no matter where to buy green plants, the root must be good, otherwise take home to raise nine out of ten is to hang, see whether the root is good, this experience slowly accumulated, there are to pay attention to whether it is just on the pot, if it is just on the pot do not buy, the foundation is not stable.

Second, change the basin, late change is better than early change, you can buy in the flower shop when you change the basin or take home after changing the basin yourself, do not have to raise for a while and then change. Plants have an adaptation period, environmental adaptation and pot change adaptation, my experience is a one-time better.

Third, the maintenance of the environment, the focus is moisture sunlight and air circulation, the so-called indoor green plants, in fact, can not always be placed indoors without light and ventilation, the vast majority of green plants are like ventilation and light. Put in indoor for a long time, easy to appear yellow leaves soft leaves and other poor growth.

Fourth, flowering plants like light, if it is the balcony of the package is not suitable for raising flowers, long time without sun nourishment flowering plants are only long leaves are not easy to bloom, sufficient sunlight can grow flower buds to open beautiful flowers. This is the law of nature.

Fifth, fine rhizomes of plants are more difficult to raise, coarse leaves of good maintenance.

Sixth, can be soil culture can be hydroponic plant selection hydroponic, refreshing trouble.

Now the first thing I do every morning when I wake up is to observe the state of each pot of green plants, whether they need watering, whether they are growing well, they have become my other children, and I have time to go out for a few days, which really worries me. They opened up another world to me, a world of peace and quiet.

I like the atmosphere of fiddle-leaf fig, like the elegance of Adiantum fern, like the chic of Ivy, like the wanton of Tortoise.
