What should a novice pay attention to when growing flowers? 4 tips to help you avoid the "minefield" of flower cultivation

Growing flowers is indeed a very beneficial activity for the body and mind. Although it only requires watering, exposing them to the sun, and applying more fertilizer, it can bring great comfort to our souls. As more and more people start growing flowers, it has become a trend. Many friends are curious about it and gradually want to join this big family.

Of course it’s fun to see more people growing flowers, but before getting into the game, in order to help friends grow flowers more smoothly and avoid failure halfway. Huahua still has a few things she wants to teach you.

1. Choose the right pot

After basically deciding what kind of flowers you want to plant, the first thing you need to choose is the flower pot. When choosing a flower pot, you cannot choose a large pot for small flowers and a small pot for big flowers. I believe everyone knows this. If the pot is too big or too small, it will not be conducive to plant growth.

Some friends want to save trouble and think that the plants will grow slowly, so they use large pots for the plants when they are seedlings. This practice is wrong.

2. Water appropriately

Everyone who grows flowers knows a saying: Three parts fertilizer and seven parts water are needed for growing flowers. This sentence fully illustrates that the most critical step in growing flowers is watering. Friends who are just starting to grow flowers will pay too much attention and care to the flowers. This situation is understandable, but you must, must, must not water the plants for no reason. You should know that 90% of plant deaths are caused by root rot due to excessive watering.

3. Scientific fertilization

Friends who are just starting to grow flowers lack knowledge about flower growing, so when faced with extensive information on the Internet, they will choose to blindly believe it. Things like using rice washing water and soybean water to water flowers can make them grow vigorously, etc. Huahua still wants to tell everyone to keep their eyes open and not to believe blindly. It is better to browse more professional plant websites to learn more knowledge.

4. Proper lighting

Light is an indispensable factor for plants, but not every plant likes light. Some plants are drought-resistant and can survive in the sun every day, such as cacti. But not all plants are cacti. For example, the foliage plants we often grow, such as the money tree and monstera, are very unsuitable for exposure to the sun. This type of plant only needs to be placed in a location with scattered sunlight.

The above four points are Huahua’s suggestions to novice friends. I hope you can all become flower-growing masters!
