The correct method of selecting and purchasing fine flowers

There are two kinds of seedlings on the market, one is soil ball, the other is bare root without soil ball. Most of the seedlings with soil balls are evergreen flowers. generally speaking, the seedlings with soil balls have stable quality and mild root damage, which is conducive to survival, so this kind of seedlings should be selected as far as possible. It is best to buy when the bud is just sprouting, when the survival rate is high. But the soil balls of some seedlings on the market are forged by flower farmers, and they can lift the seedlings to shake gently. If the soil balls fall off easily, they are forged soil balls, and this kind of flowers should not be bought. When buying rootless flowers, it should be noted that it is better to sprout as soon as possible, and choose fresh seedlings with luxuriant branches and leaves and intact roots.

Secondly, if you still like to buy potted flowers, you should pay more attention to them. Never be fooled by the illusion of lush and full of flowers and fruits. Maybe it just came from the flower base, and the flower seller casually took a flowerpot and sprayed some brightener to make it look good. In fact, it would be OVER within a few days after buying it back home. Some unscrupulous traders will even plant plants without roots in the soil for consumers to buy, which must be strictly prevented from being deceived.

When selecting this kind of potted flowers, you should pay attention to the following two points:

(1) identify the authenticity of potted plants. The specific methods are as follows: for woody flowers, the stems of flowers and trees can be grasped. If they can be lifted with mud in pots, they are generally real potted plants, otherwise they are fake potted plants; for herbaceous flowers, they can be pulled a little harder, such as flowers are real potted plants, and those who can pull them away from flowerpots are fake potted plants.

(2) look at the shape. The height of the flowers, the size of the crown should be in direct proportion to the size of the flowerpot, and the overall shape of branches, leaves, flowers and fruits should be coordinated and beautiful. There are tall flowers and trees growing in the small flowerpots, which must be fake potted plants.

In order to prevent being deceived, I suggest that we should try our best not to buy flowers for retail carts and try to form the habit of buying flowers in the hands of fixed stalls and fixed stall owners. Even if something goes wrong, they can communicate in a timely manner and reduce losses.

In order to get a better appearance of flowers, businesses sprayed a large amount of brightener on rich trees, Brazilian wood, evergreen and other high-priced foliage plants, and washed them off with water after closing. The main ingredients of brightener are silicone and paraffin, and occasional use will not affect the growth of flowers. But some unwitting consumers buy the chemically processed plant and return home without knowing the need to clean. The brightener glued to the leaves will hinder the photosynthesis of the flowers, and soon the whole plant will gradually wither.

1. If you see that there is new soil in the pot and the stem will move as soon as you pull up the stem, then the pot of flowers must not have grown new roots soon after they have just been put on the pot. Such flowers are easy to die when they are bought back. The reason is that in order to pursue economic benefits, some operators directly mix organic fertilizers that have not yet matured into the soil. Once these fertilizers are fermented, the roots of the flowers will be burned out.

2. Some operators of two or more co-planted flowers take advantage of the psychology that buyers like flowers to flourish and plant two or more unideal seedlings in pots and sell them to inexperienced buyers to make a profit. The branches and leaves of this kind of flowers will become thinner, weaker and yellow day by day, and the flowers will bloom smaller and smaller. The reason lies in insufficient nutrition, and too many roots in the basin, easy to harden, and may die of rotten roots due to poor drainage and poor ventilation.

3. Flowers without stems and leaves some individual vendors dig wild vines and miscellaneous roots to sell as flowers and trees in autumn and winter. Because they have no stems and no leaves, it is difficult to identify them. In order to moisturize, they bandaged it with moss and chose some strange names to deceive inexperienced buyers.

4. flowers that can bloom in a variety of colors in the picture A small number of illegal traders, in order to make a profit, put fake flowers of various colors on some plants that cannot blossom, and then take pictures to make pictures, take some names of foreign flowers, and deceive friends who are beginners to grow flowers. These flower vendors who set up stalls fire a shot to change places, and it is very difficult for deceived buyers to find them.

In order to get a good price, the branches and leaves of evergreen trees such as pine and cypress are all tied into various animal shapes with fine iron wire, and then sold as bonsai on the market at a high price. This kind of potted flower is good-looking at that time, and its shape will change as the plant grows. Moreover, binding all the branches and leaves of the plant at the same time will not only affect photosynthesis, but also easily produce diseases and insect pests, which is very disadvantageous to the growth of the plant.

6. Cacti with small frozen spots on their stems or balls are often seen selling cactus flowers at low prices in early spring. Some buyers do not scrutinize carefully, as soon as they buy, there are ten and eight trees, and there are not a few problems. The reason is that the winter cactus is vulnerable to slight frostbite, and light green frost spots appear on the stems and balls, which are smaller than rice grains. On the surface, there is no problem, but in fact, the internal tissue of the plant has been greatly damaged. If no measures are taken after the flower is bought back, the spot will become bigger and bigger, the plant will gradually show translucent shape, and finally the whole plant will die.
