What are the good habits for keeping flowers
A little knowledge of life, introducing you to the good habits of keeping flowers and the beneficial aspects of good habits for making the flowers and plants grow stronger. Let's share the detailed content next.
1. Change the potting soil every 1-2 years
Flowers and plants in nature almost all grow in the soil. To admire them at home, people transplant them into pots. The space in the pot is small, and the amount of soil it can hold is limited. After planting flowers and plants in a pot, about 1-2 years later, the roots of the flowers and plants will occupy most of the space in the pot. Flower enthusiasts, after removing the pot, will see that the soil seems to be "eaten" by the roots.
When the roots of flowers and plants fill the pot, if we do not change the pot in time, the soil in the pot will gradually decrease, and the nutrients the plants can absorb will also decrease. Over time, this will severely affect the normal growth of flowers and plants, leading to yellowing and drying of leaves, no new buds on branches, no new leaves, and a series of malnutrition issues such as no flowering. Therefore, to keep the flowers and plants healthy at home, it is necessary to change the pot regularly. Generally speaking, it is recommended to change the pot once a year for young seedlings and once every 1-2 years for large seedlings over 3 years old.
2. Let tap water sit in the sun before watering flowers
Many experienced old flower enthusiasts prepare a water tank or a large bucket in the garden, store tap water in the tank first, and then use it to water flowers after letting it sit in the sun for a while. This method may seem strange, but it actually has a profound reason behind it.
In order to ensure drinking safety, water plants disinfect and sterilize the water, so there will be some residual chlorine in the tap water at home. A small amount of residual chlorine has little effect on the human body, but flowers and plants are sensitive to this substance. Long-term use is not conducive to root growth. Placing tap water in the sun for a day or two will basically make the chlorine evaporate, and then using it to water flowers is better for the plants.
3. Do not fertilize in high temperatures during summer
For most flower varieties, spring and autumn are the most suitable seasons for fertilizing. The weather in these two seasons is not too cold or too hot, the temperature is appropriate, and the growth rate of flowers and plants is fast. Fertilizing can provide the plants with timely nutrition. In summer, the weather is too hot, and except for special heat-tolerant plants like desert roses and bougainvillea, most flower varieties stop growing in high temperatures and do not need to supplement nutrients. After fertilizing, the plants cannot absorb it, and it may even cause soil fertilizer concentration to rise and lead to fertilizer damage.
4. Rotate the pot from time to time
Everything grows with the sun, and flower plants are no exception. Even shade-tolerant flowers cannot survive without sunlight. Indoor lighting is generally not very good, often only receiving sunlight from a single side of the window. When flower pots are kept indoors, only one side is exposed to sunlight, and the rest cannot receive sunlight. Over time, the flowers will grow towards the sunny side, eventually becoming a "crooked neck," which is very unattractive.
To solve this problem, experienced old flower enthusiasts rotate the pot every 1-2 weeks when caring for indoor potted plants, allowing the entire plant to receive sunlight evenly. This way, the plants grow more neatly and have higher ornamental value.
