Trick 1: Poplar branches impersonating old flowers

1. When Huahua goes to the flower market, you will often see people selling flowers on the roadside. The so-called four-season plum blossoms and camellia flowers with five-color flowers are basically scams. In fact, they are beets!

2. A flower lover named “Nomi Sunshine” bought a four-season plum tree at the flower market, but when he got it home he found out that it was grafted with poplar branches!

Another flower lover spent 15 yuan to buy plum blossoms, but found out after buying them that they were actually poplar branches!

Experienced flower lovers told Huahua that these so-called five-color plum blossoms are actually made of poplar branches and dead roots of other plants. Even if you bury them in the soil, they will never bloom!

Trick 2: Lycoris impersonating daffodils

1. A flower lover named "Silent Dracula" said that he spent 25 yuan to buy the so-called colorful daffodils, but when he took them home, he found that they were actually Lycoris!

2. Another flower lover said that the daffodils he bought home never sprouted. When he opened them, he found that they were just small balls strung together with bamboo sticks. It was really infuriating!

3. Some flower lovers said that they bought a pot of wild daffodils, but later found out that it was also Lycoris!

Trick 3: Bulbs impersonating peonies

1. When a flower lover went to buy it, the seller said it was a peony head, but the flower looked like a yam no matter how you looked at it!

2. Another flower lover bought a bulb called Water Moon Peony, but Hua Hua doesn’t really believe it!

3. Flower lover "xubei719" said that her friend went to Yunnan for a trip and bought him two top-quality peonies, but Huahua felt that they looked nothing like the flowers!

And after it’s grown, it looks like this! Does any flower lover recognize what it is?

4. A flower lover bought a peony that looks like this. It grows quite fast, but it seems to be Japanese knotweed, right?

Trick 4: Ophiopogon japonicus and Ophiopogonis japonicus impersonate orchid

1. Flower lover "arusi2011" said that the flower seller said it was an orchid, so he bought it. The flower is green all year round and blooms in spring and autumn. Later he found out that it was actually Ophiopogon japonicus!

2. This pot of lush flowers is also the so-called Ophiopogon japonicus!

3. Huahua recommends all flower lovers to keep their eyes open when buying orchids in the future!

What is the difference between orchid and Ophiopogon japonicus?

The difference between orchids and Ophiopogon japonicus lies mainly in their root systems. Orchids have fleshy roots which are relatively thick, while Ophiopogon japonicus' roots have small fleshy pieces.

Trick 5: Jade Leaf Spray Impersonates the Flower of Elegant Music

2. The cost price of the Dancing with Grace flower, pretending to be Hua with Grace, has been raised, and the flower shop actually wants to sell it for 50 yuan per pot!

What is the difference between Yayuezhiwu, Yayuezhihua, and Jinzhiyuye?

Trick 6: Can the golden branches and jade leaves actually bloom?

Flower lover "Yinzhu" said that she bought two pots of flowering Jade Plants at the flower market for 35 yuan. When she got home, she found out that the little red flowers on them were fake. She was heartbroken!

This is what a real Jade Plant blooms like. Flower lovers, please don’t be fooled!

Trick seven: Succulent plants are so hateful!

Many flower lovers go shopping for succulents and want to buy the ones with bright colors. In fact, these succulents have been treated with chemicals. If they are carefully cared for and survive, nine out of ten times they will grow poorly and wither, and most of them will die directly!

The biggest difference between variegated succulents and ordinary succulents is that the colors of the layers of succulent leaves are different, and the distinction is obvious and looks unnatural.

That’s all Huahua has to reveal today!
