Beginner's Guide to Indoor Flower Cultivation
Share with everyone the beginner's guide to indoor flower cultivation and the knowledge of how to successfully cultivate green plants and flowers by focusing on these five points. Next, the editor will introduce.
Beginner's Guide to Indoor Flower Cultivation (master these points and most can be cultivated well) For beginners in flower cultivation, keeping the potting soil moist is crucial when growing flowers indoors. Learn to judge the dryness and wetness of the soil, understand when to water the plants, avoid too much or too little water, and most potted green plants indoors can be saved from "capital punishment." Here is a guide for beginners.
One: Choose the Right Plant for You
For most friends, not every flower is suitable for you. Before growing flowers, you must understand the growth habits of various plants, especially when buying flowers at a flower shop or market, don't buy what you like. Before buying flowers, think about how much sunlight does your home have? Is it well-ventilated? If the阳台 or terrace has plenty of sunlight and good ventilation, most flowering and foliage plants can be grown, including common plants like Bougainvillea, Clematis, and Chinese Rose.
If there is no sunlight and poor ventilation in your home, most flowering plants are not suitable, even relatively shade-tolerant varieties like African Violets, Lipstick Vine, or Begonias are difficult to bloom.
In shady and poorly ventilated environments, just grow some indoor foliage plants, including common ones like Epipremnum, Chlorophytum, Snake Plant, Money Tree, and Watermelon Begonia. If you don't like to water frequently, you can also choose some hydroponic plants, including common green plants that can be grown in water, such as White Bird of Paradise, Red Bird of Paradise, Monstera, Syngonium, and English Ivy.
Two: Watering Depends on Dryness and Wetness The most frequently asked question by beginner flower growers is how often to water a certain flower. In fact, there is no definitive answer because everyone's growing environment is completely different.

Some friends have a well-ventilated environment with adequate sunlight and a relatively warm temperature, so they need to water frequently. Whether to water the plant or how often to water depends on the dryness and wetness of the potting soil and the plant's preference for water. For example, common indoor plants like Network Plant or Money Plant love water and should not let the soil dry out too much. Basically, when the surface of the soil is dry, water thoroughly. However, if these two plants are grown in a shaded environment with insufficient sunlight, excessive watering can cause the plant to grow too tall and easily lead to soil that remains moist for too long, causing root rot and blackening.
Before watering indoor plants, we must learn to judge the condition of the soil. You can directly insert your finger into the potting soil to test its dryness and wetness. If the soil below the surface is dry, it is necessary to water promptly. If it is still relatively moist, don't rush to water. Also, you can insert some bamboo sticks into the soil, take them out after a few minutes, and judge the dryness and wetness of the soil. You can even weigh the potting soil or see if the surface layer of soil is white and dry, all of which are good techniques for testing the soil.
Three: Choosing the Right Potting Soil Is Very Important Some friends are willing to spend money when buying flowers, but if you want them to buy better pots or soil, they are very reluctant. In fact, this is unnecessary. If we really want to grow a plant well, we certainly need to spend this money. Otherwise, spending a lot of money on flowers without giving them good pots and soil will ultimately result in the plants not being able to thrive.
When growing flowers indoors, the pot and soil must have good drainage and breathability. We can buy some nice ceramic or metal pots but only use them as "outer pots." That is, buy some plastic pots with many drainage holes at the bottom and then place them directly in these ceramic pots. The pots we actually use to grow flowers are best to be green mountain pots, Cal pots, Alice pots, or red clay pots, as these pots have good breathability and drainage. After watering thoroughly, the water can quickly dissipate.
