Be sure to avoid these pitfalls when buying flowers, otherwise you will die when you get home and regret it so much!

Be sure to avoid these pitfalls when buying flowers, otherwise you will die when you get home and regret it so much!

The flowers and leaves are shiny, beware of the traps of merchants

Huahua discovered that the flowers in our home were not as fresh as those in the flower market. The leaves seemed to be oily. Later, a friend who sold flowers told Huahua that they had to spray "brightener" every day!

Flowers sprayed with extender look like they have been painted with oil and are pleasing to the eye at first sight. You must be patient, this brightener is oily and will affect the breathing of the leaves. The leaves will become dull and lifeless within 2 days after you buy them, and they will easily die!

Don't buy those with worm diseases, or you'll infect a lot of people.

Summer and autumn are also the peak seasons for insect diseases. When you buy flowers, you must look carefully. If any leaf has insect holes, silk screens, or rust spots, don't buy it! Not only can it not be cured if you buy it back, it can also infect other flowers in your home~

If you find it difficult to distinguish insect diseases, you can pay special attention to the front and back of the leaves of roses, succulents, money trees, clematis, chrysanthemums, evergreens, and money plants. If you find aphids, red spiders, or scale insects, put them down and don't buy them!

Don't be curious about the colorful things, nine out of ten times you won't survive

In flower markets, not only are leaf brighteners commonly used, but "color-changing agents" are also used, especially for succulents. If you see many colorful succulents and jade plants, 90% of them have been treated with drugs. They will fade when you buy them, and the survival rate is very low.

In addition to succulents, there are also some colorful flower varieties. Anyone who sells multi-colored flower seeds and flower roots, claiming that one plant can bloom flowers of several colors, is almost always a big liar. Even 2 yuan is money, so don't be fooled!

Don't buy the crooked ones, it's just a waste of money.

There are many pots of the same kind of flowers in the flower market. When choosing, be sure not to pick the "crooked neck" flowers. These generally do not grow well. Not only does it affect the appearance, but it is also easy for them to develop poorly when you buy them.

When it comes to plants like orchids and Clivia, choose those with symmetrical leaves; for succulents, choose short, plump and round ones; for roses, bougainvillea, etc., choose those with strong branches.

Few flower buds, not worth the money

Autumn is also the time to buy daisies, kalanchoe, and other small grass flowers. When choosing, you should first look at the color of the flower. A rich color means that the nutrition is sufficient and the flower will continue to bloom after you buy it.

In addition to color, you should also choose flowers with many flower buds. It will be easier for them to acclimate to the pot when the temperature is right. Just don't water them too much and the flower buds will bloom normally. It is definitely worth buying a pot of flowers with more flower buds for the same price!

The soil in the pot is loose and light, there is something fishy about this flower

Newly bought flowers are difficult to adapt to the environment, so choosing the right flowers is very important. If the soil in the pot looks loose, like newly filled soil, this type of flower is usually transplanted from a greenhouse and has not yet adapted to the pot. It will be even more difficult to grow them after you buy them back.

When choosing flowers, weigh them a few times. If they are very light overall, it means the soil has little nutrition and poor root fixation, or the lower half of the flowerpot is padded with plastic or paper. These are all tricks of the merchants, so don't be fooled.
