The cheaper you grow them, the faster they grow. These flowers will burst out of the pot if you just throw them in a corner!

Cactus

Common incorrect maintenance methods:

When many people start growing flowers, they will choose cacti, which are cheap and easy to maintain. However, many flower lovers always kill them. The reason for death is nothing more than too much water and the bulb rots.

Low-income management methods:

1. Reasonable watering

To keep cactus well, the most important thing is the amount and frequency of watering. If you grow cacti outdoors, you don't need to water them. Just rely on the weather to provide water. If you encounter the rainy season, you should also reduce the number of times you get wet in the rain.

For cacti grown indoors, the watering frequency should not be too high because of weak light and poor ventilation. Place it in a sunny location and water it only when the soil is dry. When watering, pour the water along the pot and avoid pouring it on the ball.

2. Water-permeable and breathable substrate

The soil for maintaining cactus must be permeable and breathable, and use more granular matrix, such as river sand, perlite, etc., to increase permeability.

Breeding tips:

If the cactus is well grown, small cacti will grow on the ball. Carefully break them off and plant them in the soil and they will survive.

Rot treatment method:

If your cactus is overwatered and some parts of it rot, you can quickly cut off the rotten parts with a knife, apply plant ash or carbendazim on the wound, let it dry and then repot it. This may save its life.

Chlorophytum

Advantages of low-cost breeding: shade-tolerant and drought-tolerant

Common incorrect maintenance methods:

Chlorophytum is evergreen all year round, with elegant and lively leaves. It can be said that it is a flower that every household likes to grow. However, many flower lovers have also kept it on the verge of death. Too much water caused the roots to rot, too much light caused the leaves to be damaged, and there were endless problems. In fact, you only need to do the following two things.

Low-income management methods:

1. Placement

Chlorophytum comosum is not very demanding on light, and a diffuse light environment is best, so Huahua recommends that you place it outside near a window, where the light is just right. Flower lovers who have the conditions can place it outdoors for maintenance. It will grow stronger without any management than indoors, but it cannot be placed outdoors over the winter.

2. Water every ten days or half a month

Flower lovers who have repotted spider plants know that the roots of spider plants are white and plump and can store a lot of water. In other words, don't water it too frequently, as it may kill it.

Breeding tips:

As long as you can do the above two points, the fast-growing spider plants will soon grow small spider plants. When you see aerial roots growing under the small spider plants, cut them off and plant them in pots. It is that simple to turn one pot into a hundred pots.

Problem solving method:

When large areas of yellow leaves and dry tips appear on the spider plant, you can simply cut off all the leaves two or three centimeters from the bottom and place it on a south-facing balcony. New buds will grow in a few days.

Money Tree

Advantages of low-cost breeding: shade-tolerant, drought-tolerant, and somewhat cold-resistant

Common incorrect maintenance methods:

Although the trunk of the money tree is so thick, it actually has very few and thin roots. Many flower lovers do not understand the situation and think that such large roots need to absorb a lot of water. If they are watered continuously, the roots will rot in a few days.

Stocking management method:

1. Reduce watering frequency

Don’t pamper the money tree too much. Just give it water once a month. Of course, the frequency of watering should be increased for small money trees, but for large money trees, it is okay not to water them for one or two months in winter.

2. Increase light and humidity appropriately

The money tree likes a warm and humid environment. If it is exposed to too much light, it will easily grow too tall. Just don't place it in a north-facing room without windows. If you can spray it with water frequently and increase the air humidity, the leaves will grow more shiny.

Breeding tips:

The money tree can be propagated by stem cuttings. Cut semi-lignified branches and use river sand or perlite as the cutting medium. Keep it moist and the roots will grow quickly.

Root rot treatment method:

When the roots of the money tree rot due to too much water, first dig the money tree out of the pot, remove the soil, rinse it with clean water, then use a knife to remove the rotten parts, apply a little carbendazim on the wound, place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and then put it back in the pot.

Coinweed

Advantages of cheap breeding: water and humidity resistance, exposure resistance

Common incorrect maintenance methods:

The pennywort has high requirements for light and water. If it lacks water, it will wilt immediately. If it lacks light, it will quickly grow too tall. Therefore, it is not suitable for indoor maintenance. If you grow it outdoors, you don’t need to worry at all, the plant will bloom in a matter of minutes.

Stocking management method:

1. Half soil and half water cultivation method

When growing pennywort, do not use a flowerpot with holes. Instead, use a half-soil and half-water method to grow it, just like planting lotus, with soil below and water above.

2. Ensure adequate water and light

Place the hydroponic pennywort outdoors or on the balcony. In short, it must be exposed to sufficient light and always have water in the pot, otherwise it will soon wilt in the strong sun.

Breeding tips:

The pennywort can be propagated by dividing the pot. Simply put, take the pennywort out of the pot, then use scissors to divide the pennywort into two parts, and replant them in the pot. In this way, one pot can become two pots.

Treatment methods for wilting:

If the pennywort wilts due to lack of water, you can simply cut off all the leaves, water it with plenty of water, and new leaves will grow in a few days.

Aloe Vera

Advantages of low-cost breeding: drought-tolerant, shade-tolerant, and sun-tolerant

Common incorrect maintenance methods:

Aloe vera is a very easy to grow plant. Huahua has a pot of it at home. She hardly ever waters it and just puts it in a corner every day, leaving it alone. It even bloomed this year. Many flower lovers kill their aloe vera plants because they are too diligent and water them too much.

Stocking management method:

1. Reduce the frequency of watering.

Don't water unless the plant is dry. When watering, be careful not to get water on the leaves. If conditions permit, you can put it outdoors for maintenance, which will help it grow faster and bigger.

2. Choose the right soil

When planting aloe vera, people add some river sand, perlite, coal slag, etc. to the soil to increase permeability. When potting, put some expanded clay or broken bricks and tiles at the bottom of the pot.

Breeding tips:

If the aloe vera is well grown, small aloe vera plants will grow from the roots. When propagating, you can carefully separate them from the mother plant and re-pot them, so that you can harvest new aloe vera.

Money Tree

Advantages of cheap breeding: shade-tolerant and dry-tolerant

Common incorrect maintenance methods:

Money tree has bulbous roots, and excessive watering can easily lead to rot. Many flower lovers think that the money tree is very shade-tolerant, so they place it in a place with no light at all, which affects the growth of the money tree. In fact, it is very simple to care for the money tree.

Stocking management method:

1. Watering frequency

Water the pot when you see the soil is almost dry. Water it once every ten days or half a month. There is no need to check the soil dryness every day.

2. Lighting conditions

It can grow healthily in scattered light or semi-shade conditions, but it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight.

Breeding tips:

Money tree can be propagated by cuttings, either leaf cuttings or branch cuttings. Select a small piece of strong branch or leaf and soak it in rooting powder.

Then mix mudstone, perlite and river sand in a ratio of 3:1:1, and insert the branches and leaves into the substrate.

Water thoroughly and keep moist, and it will survive in about two weeks.
