How to plant and care for flowers
Today, I will introduce how to plant and care for flowers, as well as share flower care techniques and knowledge. Let's learn together next.
Nowadays, many flower enthusiasts like to care for plants at home. However, many problems arise during the plant care process, leading to flowers not being cared for very well. Therefore, it is necessary to learn many small flower care tips. Once these tips are mastered, the problems with the flowers can be quickly solved. Below are some simple and effective flower care tips that can help plants grow continuously.
1. Tips to solve waterlogging issues
If waterlogging occurs in the potting soil, you can learn some techniques to solve the problem. First, place a layer of dried leaves at the bottom of the pot. This improves the soil's permeability and drainage ability, and the dried leaves will not clog the drainage holes. If mixed with nutrient-rich soil, it can increase the fertility and looseness, making the plants grow more luxuriantly.
2. Using fruit peels to adjust the soil's pH level
We all know that some flowers prefer slightly alkaline soil, while others prefer slightly acidic soil. If you want to grow acid-loving flowers in alkaline soil, it is not impossible. You just need to adjust the soil's pH level with fruit peels. First, soak the fruit peels in water, and then use the water to water the flowers, which can reduce the soil's alkalinity. Thus, the flowers will grow very vigorously.
3. Eliminate pests in the potting soil
When caring for flowers, you may often find many small flying insects in the pot. In fact, it's not difficult to kill these black insects. Simply moisten a cotton swab with water, insert it into the potting soil, and after a while, the flying insects will be gone.

You can also mix laundry detergent or liquid with water and pour it into a spray bottle. Spray the flowers every two to three weeks. This can kill bacteria, promote the healthy growth of flowers, and also eliminate flying insects.
4. Remove fertilizer odor
When caring for flowers, many enthusiasts often apply homemade fertilizers. After applying the fertilizer, an unpleasant odor is released, which can be problematic. However, not fertilizing the flowers will not result in good growth.
Therefore, preventing these odors when fertilizing flowers is simple. You just need to add some fruit peels to the fertilizer. The fruit peels in the fertilizer can easily solve the odor problem, allowing the flowers to grow continuously.
