For friends who are usually busy, keeping some potted flowers and plants at home can help relax your mood, relieve stress, and also make your home and balcony more beautiful and comfortable. Of course, in the process of growing flowers and potted plants, we may encounter various problems and situations. Some friends say they can't even grow cacti well, or the leaves of the potted plants turn yellow and fall off, or the flowers bloom less, or not at all, which can be quite frustrating and bewildering.

In fact, after keeping flowers for a while, you will know the reasons yourself and will get better and better at it. To keep potted flowers, plants, and greenery well, it is necessary to pay attention to these 4 basic aspects:
1. Sufficient lighting
Whether it is a potted plant on the balcony or one indoors, it should not be placed in a location with insufficient light for a long time. In weak light or no sunlight, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off after a while. It is necessary to bask in the sun more in spring, autumn, and winter. In the hot summer, just provide shade and sun protection for the flowers. This way, the plant will have green leaves throughout the four seasons.
2. Appropriate watering
While potted plants need to be watered regularly to keep the soil moist, some indoor potted plants or greenery on enclosed balconies should not be watered too frequently. It's best to water when the soil is slightly dry to prevent waterlogging and root rot. Generally, before watering, you can touch the soil with your finger, slightly dig it open, and if the soil below the surface is granular, it's time to water. If it's still like mud, of course, you can't water it anymore.

3. Powerful fertilizing
During the vigorous growth period of potted plants, especially in spring and autumn, it is necessary to fertilize in time. However, fertilizing should be frequent with thin solutions and not thick or raw fertilizers. For potted plants at home, fertilizing is also simple. Considering that some organic fertilizers may have an odor, we can use some common slow-release fertilizers, compound fertilizers, or flower fertilizers like "Flower More" and others. Just a little each time will not burn the leaves or roots.
4. Good ventilation
To keep potted plants well, they must be placed in a well-ventilated area. If they are in a sealed space, the potted plants will definitely not thrive as they need fresh air and good ventilation. Therefore, we should open windows and doors more often to exchange fresh air and allow air circulation. If possible, when the temperature is suitable, or in spring, take the potted plants outdoors for a period of time; they will become stronger and healthier.
Basically, by doing these few points, you can keep your potted plants well. The longer you keep flowers, the more experience you will accumulate. You can also start by keeping some easy-to-grow potted plants like spider plants, pennywort, bougainvillea, and roses, and then move on to more challenging ones like kaffir lilies,虎尾兰 (taiwanese Lalang), succulents, jade trees, spring orchids, green vines,蟹爪兰 (butterfly orchids), longevity flowers, azaleas, and cattleyas, and you will also get better at it! Can't even grow cacti? Do these four small things right, and you can grow any flower, creating a small garden!
