How to Cultivate and Manage Flowers
Let me tell you about the experience related to the cultivation and management of flowers, as well as a brief discussion on the cultivation techniques of outdoor flowers. Next, I will introduce you to this knowledge.
When gardening, I like to find some small flower-growing tips. By summarizing the issues, I have come up with 4 flower-growing tips that only experienced gardeners know. Mastering these tips will not only prevent the flowers from dying but also make them grow more vigorously!
One, What to Do with Excess Water in Potting Soil
When first starting to grow flowers, it's easy to control the amount of water incorrectly, resulting in excess water in the potting soil. This issue can be remedied. I usually place a few pieces of tile or a layer of withered leaves at the bottom of the pot. This allows excess water to drain out, making the soil more permeable and preventing the drainage holes from getting clogged.
In everyday soil preparation, we can also add withered leaves to the soil. Adding river sand to the soil has a similar effect, and the potting soil is less likely to accumulate excess water.
Two, How to Adjust Soil Acidity or Alkalinity
Many gardeners don't know that flowers require specific soil pH levels when they first start growing flowers. They may find that they are growing acid-loving flowers, but the soil is alkaline. In fact, we don't need to change the soil; we can adjust the soil's pH level.
We can soak fruit peels in water and then use this water to water the flowers. Regularly using rice washing water or beer water can also turn alkaline soil into acidic soil.
Three, How to Remove Pests from Potting Soil
I once grew a pot of green vines in the bathroom, and there were always tiny black bugs around it. They kept coming back, and I didn't know how to get rid of them. Later, I accidentally spilled laundry detergent water on the leaves, and surprisingly, many of the bugs disappeared.
We can dilute laundry detergent water, pour it into a spray bottle, and spray it on the leaves with tiny black bugs or other pests. After a few applications, the bugs will disappear.

Four, What to Do with Malodorous Fertilizer
I often share my experience in making flower fertilizer, but many gardeners don't like homemade fertilizers because they are too smelly, especially after fertilizing, the potting soil also becomes smelly.
To remove the odor from the fertilizer, we can simply add fruit peels to the fertilizer when making it. The fruit peels with a pleasant scent, such as orange peels or lemon peels, are usually effective in deodorizing. Adding these fruit peels to the fertilizer water during decomposition enhances its nutritional value.
These tips are usually not shared by gardeners, but if you learn them, you will become an experienced gardener, and your flowers will look as beautiful as those in online pictures! Do you think these 4 flower-growing tips are useful?
