If you make these 10 mistakes, do you still want to grow flowers well? Stop dreaming!

1. No ventilation in the room

reason:

Poor indoor ventilation is particularly likely to cause flower death. Because an unobstructed environment will affect the normal breathing of the flowers, and will also prevent the water in the potting soil from evaporating quickly, which will cause root rot and death. Moreover, if flowers and plants stay in the house for a long time, they will compete with people for oxygen, which is harmful to the body.

Correct approach:

Remember to open the windows more often for ventilation, and move the flowers and plants to a well-ventilated place so that they can breathe smoothly and will not die.

2. Watering time is optional

reason:

Some flower lovers often water their flowers whenever they remember to do so, and some even water them in the middle of the day, causing the leaves of the flowers and plants to droop. Coupled with the scorching sun, they are directly sunburned to death like a sauna!

Correct approach:

If it is winter, the best time to water is between 12 noon and 14 o'clock. In spring, summer and autumn, it is best to water before 10 o'clock in the morning and after 6 o'clock in the evening. Before watering, it is best to let the tap water dry for more than 24 hours to allow the water temperature to be close to room temperature and allow the chlorine in the water to evaporate.

3. Water only to wet the surface of the pot

reason:

Some flower lovers worry that the flowers at home will be drowned if there is too much water, so every time they water the flowers, they only wet the layer of soil in the pot. Little do they know that the roots underneath cannot absorb water at all, and they will easily dry out and die over time.

Correct approach:

For general flowers, it is necessary to ensure that "do not water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do." When the flowerpot becomes noticeably lighter when you lift it, or when the soil in the pot becomes white and dry when you touch it, water it thoroughly again. Make sure water leaks out from the bottom of the flowerpot to indicate that it is thoroughly watered.

4. Water drops remain on the leaves at night

reason:

Some flower lovers don’t have time during the day and can only water their flowers at night, but they just leave them aside after watering. At this time, water droplets will remain on the leaves. If they are not wiped clean, the leaves will rot, causing diseases and insect pests.

Correct approach:

Whether you water the flowers in the evening or wipe the leaves with a damp cloth, if you find water droplets still on the leaves, it is best to wipe them off with a dry cloth, or water them in the morning so that the water droplets can evaporate as quickly as possible to avoid leaf rot.

5. The more fertilizer, the better

reason:

Some flower lovers are dissatisfied with the slow growth of their flowers, so they apply fertilizer every now and then. As a result, the flowers do not grow big over time, but because of too much fertilizer, their roots rot and die. It is really horrible!

Correct approach:

No matter what kind of flower it is, it is best to fertilize it according to the method of "thin fertilizer and frequent application".

If the flowers are in the growth stage or after flowering, it is best to apply more nitrogen fertilizer, such as Chinese medicine residue fertilizer and bean dregs fertilizer;

If the flower is in the bud formation stage, it is best to apply more phosphorus fertilizer, such as fish bone fertilizer, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, etc.

6. Place it next to the radiator or air conditioner

reason:

Many flower lovers start to worry as soon as summer or winter is over. I worry that the flowers will be killed by the sun in the summer and frozen to death in the winter, so I often expose the flowers directly to air conditioning or move them directly next to the radiator. In fact, doing so can easily cause the flowers and plants to lack water and their roots to dry out, and then wilt and die.

Correct approach:

If it is summer, be sure to keep the flowers away from the air conditioner vents, and never blow directly at them. Move the flowers to the windowsill for ventilation in the morning and evening.

If it is winter, don't let the flowers too close to the heater. As long as the temperature is enough, it's fine. Also remember to water them more to prevent them from dying from dryness and lack of water.

7. Place it next to the TV

reason:

Many flower lovers have heard that flowers and plants can absorb radiation, so they like to place flowers and plants next to the TV. In fact, this is not very good. Because when the TV is working, the radioactive substances it emits can damage plant cells and may cause the death of flowers.

Correct approach:

Try to place the flowers at home away from the TV to avoid radiation.

8. Use leftover tea to water the flowers

reason:

Many flower lovers have this habit of directly pouring the leftover overnight tea into the flower pots. In fact, this appearance is particularly prone to attracting small insects, and over time it will cause the soil to become compacted, thereby affecting the breathing of the roots and causing the flowers to die directly.

Correct approach:

If you want to use leftover tea leaves to water the flowers, it is best to wait for a period of time before using it. Collect the leftover tea leaves, add some water and expose them to the sun for 1-2 weeks. Wait until the tea leaves are fully decomposed before using them.

9. The more flowers, the better

reason:

Many flower lovers who like to grow flowers especially like to buy them, but because their homes are not big, the space is particularly tight, resulting in the flowers and plants not having sufficient space to grow, and naturally they will not grow vigorously!

Correct approach:

Generally, in a 15㎡ room, it is enough to place 2-3 large or medium-sized plants, or 3-5 small plants. Don't put too many!

10. Don’t put poisonous flowers in your house

reason:

Many flower lovers buy flowers they like directly, but they don’t know that many flowers are harmful to the body. If they are placed in the house for a long time, they will have a certain impact on your health. For example, if the juice of the weeping angel gets on the skin, it will cause redness and swelling.
