Choosing the Right Potted Flowers1. Understand the habits of flowers: When choosing potted flowers, it is first necessary to understand their growth habits, such as whether they prefer shade or sun, are cold or heat tolerant, etc., so as to choose the right plants according to your home environment to ensure their healthy growth.
2. Pay attention to the meaning of flowers: When choosing potted flowers, you can also consider their symbolic meanings, such as green vines symbolizing vitality and smooth career; cacti symbolizing resilience and a happy life, etc.
Buying the Right Flower Pots1. Material: Common pot materials include ceramics, plastic, glass, etc. Ceramic pots are beautiful and elegant but fragile; plastic pots are lightweight and durable but have a plain appearance; glass pots have high transparency but are fragile.
2. Size: The size of the pot should correspond to the plant's root system, generally 2-3 times the size of the roots. Pots that are too large or too small will affect the plant's growth.
Soil Selection and Configuration1. Soil selection: The soil for potted flowers should have good drainage and strong breathability. Common soils include peat soil, decomposed leaf soil, and pearl rock.

Watering and Fertilizing1. Watering: The principle of watering potted flowers is to "water when dry and stop when wet," avoiding waterlogging. When watering, make sure to water the roots thoroughly and avoid splashing water on the leaves.
2. Fertilizing: Fertilizing for potted flowers should be moderate, generally applying a compound fertilizer once a month. When fertilizing, pay attention to the concentration of the fertilizer to avoid burning the roots.
Lighting and Ventilation1. Lighting: Different potted flowers have different lighting requirements. According to the plant's growth habits, they should be placed appropriately. Sun-loving flowers should be placed in sunny areas, and shade-loving flowers should be placed in areas with sufficient diffused light.
2. Ventilation: Maintaining a good ventilation environment is beneficial for plant growth. In high summer temperatures, make sure to shade and cool the flowers.
