Money Tree

Maintenance key: watering

Watering should be done when the soil is dry and wet, that is, water after the surface 3 to 5 cm of soil has completely dried up, and stop watering after the water flows out through the small holes at the bottom.

Other notes:

Place it in a bright and well-ventilated place indoors, such as a living room or balcony.

Do not place it in a place where the temperature is below 10℃. If you follow these points, there will be no problem in growing the money tree.

Pothos

Maintenance key: watering

The amount of water required by Chlorophytum cochinchinensis is relatively large. When the temperature is above 20℃, it can be watered 2 to 3 times a week; when the temperature is below 20℃, it should be watered at least once every 5 days.

Other notes:

1. Pothos likes shade and is usually placed in the living room or a brightly lit room. It is easy to be sunburned on the balcony.

2. Pay attention to ventilation and open the windows for about 1 to 2 hours every day. Only when the ventilation is good will the green ivy not easily accumulate water.

Lucky Bamboo

Maintenance key: temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for lucky bamboo is 20℃. It is best to buy it in spring, April or May. If the temperature at home can be maintained at 20℃ all year round, you can buy it all year round.

Other considerations

1. Place it in a brighter place in the living room, such as a windowsill or a little distance away from the windowsill.

2. Change the water once 1 to 2 days before rooting. Change all the water only if the water becomes smelly after rooting. Just add water at other times.

asparagus

Maintenance key: humidity

Asparagus fern needs high humidity to prevent its leaves from turning yellow. Flower lovers in the north need to spray the leaves of asparagus fern frequently.

Other notes:

1. Use the immersion method to water. Put the asparagus fern, the pot and the flowers into a basin filled with water, and take it out after the surface of the potting soil becomes moist.

It is usually placed about 1 meter to half a meter away from the south windowsill or south balcony. Asparagus fern does not like strong light.

Coinweed

Maintenance key 1: light

It must be placed where it can receive direct sunlight so that the pennywort can grow very quickly!

Maintenance key 2: moisture

Copper coin likes water, very much. If it is grown in soil, water it at least 3 times a week. If it is grown in water or in half soil and half water, just add water directly.

Kalanchoe

Maintenance key: light

The Kalanchoe should be placed in a place indoors where it can receive sufficient light. The south windowsill and south balcony are best, followed by the east and west balconies, and the north balcony is okay.

Other notes:

1. As for watering, water it when the soil in the pot is dry. It doesn’t matter if you water it a little longer, as the Kalanchoe itself can store water.

2. Kalanchoe is a short-day flower and can only differentiate flower buds in an environment of 20℃ and about 8 hours of sunshine.

Succulent

Maintenance key: watering

Succulent plants can basically be kept alive with just a little water. When the surface soil in the pot dries up or the pot becomes noticeably lighter, it is time to water them.

Other considerations

Succulents must be exposed to plenty of sunlight and are best grown outdoors, otherwise place them on a south-facing windowsill or balcony.

Clivia

Maintenance key: watering

The fleshy roots of Clivia are relatively more afraid of waterlogging. Wait until the soil 2 to 3 cm above the surface of the Clivia pot has completely dried before watering, and stop watering when water leaks out from the small holes at the bottom.

For small Clivia, you can directly use the immersion pot method to water it.

Other notes:

You can usually wipe the leaves of Clivia with beer and water to make them shiny and glossy.

When growing Clivia indoors, you need to turn the pot once a week to prevent the leaves from becoming tangled.

Gardenia

Maintenance key: watering

Gardenia likes moisture. Northern flower lovers generally water it once every 2 to 3 days, and also sprinkle water every day to maintain the air humidity.

Other notes:

Gardenia needs more sunlight and is best placed outdoors to receive direct sunlight. If there is no open air conditions, it can be placed on the balcony, and the light must be transparent.

Flower lovers in the north can add a little vinegar or ferrous sulfate when watering to adjust the pH value of the soil and prevent the leaves of gardenia from turning yellow.

Chlorophytum

Maintenance key: humidity

Chlorophytum likes a humid environment, so it is better to keep it wet than dry when watering, about twice a week. In addition, you should spray water on the Chlorophytum and sprinkle water on the ground around it to increase the air humidity.

Other notes:

The most suitable growing location for spider plants is next to windows, where there is light but not strong light. It is better to place them in the living room under the scorching sun in summer.

Prune the dry and yellow leaves of the spider plant in time, repot the spider plant once every 1 to 2 years, and prune the old and dead roots when repotting to revitalize the spider plant.

Mint

Maintenance key: light

Mint must have sufficient light to grow, so it is enough to just place the mint on the balcony.

Other notes:

The ventilation conditions for mint must be good so that the mint fragrance can be stronger.

Water the plants once every 2 to 3 days, and make sure they are watered thoroughly. As the temperature rises, you can increase the frequency of watering appropriately. As long as the ventilation is good, the roots will not rot!

Phalaenopsis

Maintenance key: light

As the saying goes, "Jasmine can't be killed by the sun", which shows how high jasmine's demand for light is. It is best to maintain it outdoors, but a balcony with good lighting will also do.

Maintenance precautions:

Keep it moist, rather wet than dry, and water it about once every 2 to 3 days.

Every year before jasmine sprouts, you must properly prune old branches to promote the sprouting of new branches so that there will be more flowers!

Maintenance key: temperature

Rubber trees are not cold-resistant, and the indoor temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees, otherwise they will be frozen and lose their leaves.

Maintenance precautions:

I like an environment with soft lighting, such as a living room that is open from north to south.

When watering, you can add overnight tea and spray the water on the leaves. This can increase the air humidity and clean the leaves.

(Author: Yanyu Congmeng Source: PConline Product Forum)

Maintenance key: temperature

Bougainvillea is not cold-resistant, and the minimum maintenance temperature is about 10 degrees. Therefore, if flower lovers in the north want to grow it, they can only do it indoors with heating.

Other notes:

Bougainvillea is afraid of waterlogging, so basically just follow the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry, and watering thoroughly when you do.

When caring for flowers in the north, flower lovers can add a little ferrous sulfate when watering. This can change the pH value of the soil and make it more acidic.

Happy Tree

Maintenance key: moisture

Be careful when watering the lucky tree. Don't worry about water accumulation. Water the tree when it is dry and wet when it is wet. For larger lucky trees, it is best to water them after the topsoil is about 4 to 5 cm dry.

Other notes:

It likes light and can survive in full sun or semi-shade, so it’s up to you to choose whether to put it on the balcony or in the living room.

Apply thin organic fertilizer once a month, or directly use fermented rice water or bean cake water.

camellia

Maintenance key: temperature

Camellia is not cold-resistant. The most suitable temperature for its growth is 18~25℃, and the lowest should not be lower than 10 degrees. If the temperature is relatively low, you can put the camellia in a plastic bag and put it in a place with strong sunlight to keep it warm.

Other notes:

Don’t move the camellia casually. Put it in a well-lit place and don’t move it anymore!

It likes acidic soil, so you can add a little vinegar or ferrous sulfate when watering.

lily

Maintenance key: light

Lilies need an environment with sufficient light. It is best to grow them outdoors, followed by a balcony with good light.

Other notes:

Potted lilies must be planted in relatively deep pots, because their root systems are very developed, and if the pot is too shallow, the roots will even leak out!

Water when the soil is dry. Wait until the surface of the soil in the pot is dry before watering! There must not be any water accumulation, otherwise the ball will rot.

Tiger Piranha

Maintenance key: watering

Tiger Piranha is very drought-tolerant and afraid of waterlogging. It is better to water it dry than wet. Water it once a week or less. Of course, in summer, the frequency of watering should be increased appropriately, about twice a week.

Other notes:

For tiger skin orchid, you need to use a shallower flower pot with a larger diameter. This way, the tiger skin orchid can successfully produce cubs.

The light requirement is not high, as long as the room is not particularly dark, Sansevieria can grow!

peony

(Author: Hardware Master Source: zol Forum)

Maintenance key: light

If you want the peony to bloom, it must have sufficient light and needs to be cultivated outdoors. You can plant it on an open-air balcony.

Other maintenance points:

Do not fertilize the peonies that have just been potted. Only after half a year can you apply some relatively dilute chicken manure fertilizer, bean cake water, etc.

Peonies have fleshy roots and are very afraid of waterlogging, so they must be watered when the soil is dry and then watered when it is wet, especially potted peonies.

Aloe Vera

Maintenance key: watering

Aloe vera does not need to be watered too frequently. It is better to keep it dry than wet. Once a week is enough. In the summer, you need to water it more often, about twice a week, and in the winter, once every half a month is enough.

Other notes:

You should get more sun exposure on normal days, except when the sun is too strong in the summer.

It is best to repot the aloe vera plant once every 1 to 2 years, in spring and autumn.

orchid

Maintenance key: planting material

If the planting material is properly prepared and carefully maintained, the plant will basically not die. The simplest planting material ratio is bark + brick particles + mountain mud particles.

Other notes:

Be careful when watering. Although it can be used when the soil is dry or wet, if you increase the amount of watering appropriately without water accumulation, the orchid will grow better.

You can choose fully decomposed bean cake water as fertilizer, or you can buy special orchid fertilizer, basically once a week is enough.
