Understand the habits of flowers and plants

According to the growth habits and morphological characteristics of flowers, they can be divided into herbaceous flowers, woody flowers, succulent flowers and aquatic flowers. All kinds of flowers vary greatly in sunlight, moisture and temperature. So before buying flowers, you should know whether the flowers you want to buy have a suitable growth environment, for example, if you are on the north balcony, with little light, you are not suitable for flowers that like the sun, otherwise they will not grow well and bloom very little.

Most flowers and fruits are positive flowers, such as Magnolia, rose, pomegranate, plum blossom, crape myrtle, citrus and so on. There are also a few positive flowers in foliage flowers, such as cycads, palms, variable-leaf trees and so on. Most aquatic flowers, cacti and succulent plants are also positive flowers. All positive flowers like strong light and are not resistant to shade. If the sun is insufficient, it is easy to cause the branches and leaves to grow, the tissue is soft and weak, the leaf color becomes pale and yellow, it is not easy to blossom or is not good, and is vulnerable to diseases and insect pests.

Asparagus, camellia, rhododendron, hairpin, green pineapple and other flowers grow well in shaded environment. Sweet-scented osmanthus, jasmine, magnolia and eight immortal flowers belong to neutral flowers, which grow well under the condition of sufficient sunshine, but should be shaded when the light intensity is strong in summer.

In addition, it is also necessary to know whether flowers like water and fertilizer, what is the frequency of watering and fertilization, and what is the appropriate curing temperature in summer and winter? Florists are required to do their homework.

Buy flowerpots

The purple sand basin has beautiful appearance and atmosphere, but the drainage permeability is lower than that of the pottery basin, and the price is higher. The appearance of the porcelain basin is very beautiful, but the price is high and the drainage and air permeability is very poor. The price of plastic basin is cheap, but the drainage and air permeability is very poor. In the dry areas of the north, it is easy to become weathered and brittle after a long time. Wooden pots are suitable for planting large foliage plants, which can be placed in large halls and courtyards. The bottom of the aquaculture basin has no drainage hole, so it is a special potted plant for aquatic flowers. Flower friends can buy flowerpots according to their actual funds and types of flowers and plants.

Choose and buy flowers

As the saying goes, "the elegant room does not need to be big, the fragrance of flowers is not much." Put some flowers and plants indoors, with green leaves and flowers, evergreen all the year round, it is really full of spring and vitality. Family planting and cultivation of flowers, generally based on potted plants. Due to the limitations of the conditions, do not plant too much, 10-15 pots is suitable. The selected flowers had better be foliage flowers, flowering flowers, fruit flowers, fragrant flowers, ornamental flowers and so on, so that the varieties will be rich and diverse. The number of family flowers should be small but good, and the selection of varieties should be reasonable according to the family's environmental conditions and personal preferences.

When beginners choose and buy flowers, it is best not to buy flower seedlings, nor do they use seeds to raise seedlings, because it is difficult to maintain, it is best to choose finished potted plants. Should choose the plant shape is correct, the leaf color is thick green lush and shiny, the leaf does not have the macula, the disease spot. Even a spot the size of a rice grain may eventually develop to the whole plant.

When a novice buys flowers, you can first try some varieties that are easy to feed. On the one hand, the price is relatively low; on the other hand, it is easy to feed and raise well, which can cultivate confidence. Can raise some hanging orchid, aloe, tiger tail orchid, golden cymbidium, green apple, rose, longevity flower, daffodil, marigold, morning glory, petunia, impatiens, glass Cui, carnation, Milan, jasmine, crab claw orchid and so on.

Watering method

Whether the watering amount of potted flowers can be timely and appropriate is the key to the success or failure of flower cultivation. According to the local experience, the watering amount of potted flowers is determined according to the flower variety, plant size, growth and development period, climate, soil conditions, flowerpot size, placement location and other aspects.

In general, wet flowers should be watered more, drought-loving flowers should be watered less; bulb flowers should not be watered too much; herbaceous flowers should have more water content and transpiration, and more water should be watered than woody flowers; flowers with large, soft, smooth and hairless leaves should be watered more than woody flowers; flowers with small leaves with waxy layer, hairy and leathery leaves should be watered less; they should be watered more in the peak growth period and less in the dormant period; the seedlings with large pots should be watered more, and those with small pots should be watered less. Water more in hot days, less in cold days, more in dry days, less in cloudy days, etc.

Generally speaking, there are five principles for watering:

Rather dry than wet: for five-needle pine, black pine and xerophytes, especially cactus and succulent plants, they should be watered according to the principle of "better dry than wet". Water should not be watered until dry.

Dry thoroughly: for orchids, wax plums, geraniums and other potted flowers that like to dry and fear waterlogging, they should be watered according to the principle of "dry and thoroughly watered". Only when the cultivation medium is dry can it be watered. "watering thoroughly" means not pouring "waist water", but to make the basin soil drenched thoroughly. If it is not irrigated thoroughly, the root system will not be able to absorb water, which will affect its growth.

Alternation of dry and wet: the alternation of dry and wet is between dryness and dryness, generally watering when the basin soil is basically dry but still has a trace of moisture and is not completely dry. The advantage of this method is that flowers will not rot their roots because of long-term moist soil and poor breathing, nor will they wither because of long-term drought. The disadvantage is that the time is not easy to master, and it is necessary to find out the habits of different flowers in the long-term flower cultivation practice before using them. Gentleman orchid, green apple, emerald, white palm and so on can use this method.

See dry and wet: for some flowers that like wetting, such as rhododendron, camellia, Michelia, gardenia, Milan, etc., they should be watered according to the principle of "seeing dry and wet". When you see the white surface of the cultivation medium, you can water it until it is moist. To achieve the basin soil should not be too dry or too wet for a long time, just keep it "moist".

It is better to be wet than dry: it is suitable for plants that are half water and half soil, such as brucellia. This kind of plant is particularly afraid of drought, so it should be watered frequently to keep the basin soil moist.

Watering method

Watering is a regular management of flower cultivation, and it is difficult to grasp whether the potted soil is short of water, so many flower friends often feel distressed about it. Generally speaking, one look, two listen and three rub. To see if the color of the soil surface has turned white, if so, it means that there is a shortage of water. To listen is to knock on the flowerpot with your hand and listen to the sound. Rubbing is to pick up the topsoil and rub it with your hands. For sandy loam, if it is rubbed into a broken powder, and there is no moisture in the soil, it shows that the soil is short of water.
