Would you be satisfied if the flowers didn’t die? It’s obvious that you can grow better just by raising your hand!

Succulent

Become short and fat

practice:

1. It is basic to control the humidity, temperature, light, water and fertilizer of the environment according to different succulent varieties so that they can grow healthily. In addition, stuffy cultivation, greenhouse effect, large temperature difference, and high nitrogen fertilizer will promote plant growth, the plant volume will increase, and changing the cultivation conditions can make succulents grow fatter and stronger.

2. Around the Spring Festival, you can water the succulents more and provide them with appropriate shade, which will help the inner leaves to grow longer and loosen the compactness of the succulents. When the growing season comes, if you provide them with strong light or a suitable temperature difference, new leaves can bloom and can quickly squeeze out the surrounding slightly growing leaves, thereby making the plant shape more compact and invisibly enlarging the size of the succulents.

3. For succulents with well-grown root systems, water them once a month. Too much water will not make them fat. Only after controlling the water, the succulents will have a concept of water shortage. Over time, the succulents will use their leaves to store water, and the leaves will slowly become thicker. During this period, they need to get more sunlight, but not too dry, otherwise the leaves will shrivele.

Crystal clear

practice:

1. Autumn has plenty of sunshine and a high temperature difference throughout the day, making it the best season for succulents to change color. First, there needs to be sufficient sunlight, but not strong exposure to the sun; second, it needs a high humidity. Among them, temperature difference is the main reason for the color change of succulents, but the temperature difference needs to be controlled within a reasonable range.

2. Cover the succulents with a glass cup to create a growth environment similar to a greenhouse, so that the temperature difference becomes larger and the relative humidity increases, allowing the succulents to grow crystal clear. Of course, in addition to glass covers, you can also choose plastic cups and plastic wrap. Relatively speaking, if you choose plastic cups, they are too sealed and need to be opened and ventilated every day.

Multi-headed clusters

practice:

When succulents grow larger or have become too tall, use scissors to behead them and cut off the top of the stem to promote the growth of side buds. When cutting, make sure the cut is smooth.

The old pile grows rapidly

practice:

You can make succulents grow too tall by reducing the sunshine time, increasing the amount of watering, and making the stems of succulents longer. When the stem grows to a certain length, remove all the leaves below, leaving only a few leaves on the top. Place it in the sun with sufficient sunlight, and the stem will become woody in about a year.

Chlorophytum

Green leaves

practice:

1. If you want the leaves of the spider plant to be shiny and thick, you can buy some potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the market. According to the ratio of potassium dihydrogen phosphate: water = 3:1000, water the roots or spray the leaves of the spider plant once a month.

2. Green leaf spider plant can be fertilized with some compound fertilizer with high nitrogen content. For variegated varieties such as Golden Edge and Golden Heart, less nitrogen fertilizer should be applied to prevent the color of the flowers and leaves from fading or even disappearing, affecting their appearance.

The whole plant has wide leaves and a plump body

practice:

1. In addition to the reasons of variety, the leaves of spider plant can grow wider only if its growth environment is improved. Mix some garden soil with nutrient soil and apply some nitrogen fertilizer regularly. As long as there is no water accumulation, you can give more water appropriately. If kept indoors for a long time, the leaves tend to become narrow and long, and are tough enough to break easily, so they need to be given some light regularly.

2. The leaves of the spider plant are getting thinner and thinner, so move it outdoors when the weather is warm, and water it twice with compound fertilizer or self-fermented fertilizer, such as fertilizer made by beating two eggs and letting it ferment for two months. You can also pour some beer, but don’t make it too thick and make sure to add water.

3. The most primitive and thorough method is to constantly renew, cut off all leaves, repair old roots, and replant in soil or hydroponically. Chlorophytum that is more than two years old needs to be eliminated, or shaved bald and started over!

Harmonious and symmetrical drooping

practice:

Turn the flower pot about 15° in a fixed direction every week so that each side can be exposed to light to ensure the same degree of drooping.

asparagus

How to maintain an elegant posture:

1. Bundle. If you have multiple asparagus ferns in the same pot, you can gather and tie their stems together to keep them slender. However, it is not suitable to use ropes that are too thick or ropes with too different colors. Bamboo and wooden strips should not be too thick either.

2. Pruning. The branches and leaves of asparagus fern are most beautiful when they are 1-3 years old. After 3 years, the plant will show vine-like characteristics, with soft stems that bend and droop and entwine.

If you don't want it to grow into a climbing shape, you can cut back the overly long branches to encourage new branches to sprout at the roots.

If you want to keep it, you can put up a frame and let it climb and grow. Usually, when repotting or maintaining the plant, old branches and overcrowded branches should be pruned to make the branches of the plant dense and well-organized with clear layers.

3. Division. Large plants of 4-5 years old can be divided, usually in combination with repotting when the temperature rises in spring. Use a sharp knife to cut the plants, keeping 2-3 plants in each small clump. After division, place them in a cool place, spray with moisture, and cultivate for 1 year. They can be used for viewing in the second year.

Keep it green

practice:

1. Cut off the yellowing parts of the leaves in time, expose them to less sunlight, and maintain the air humidity. After a long period of maintenance, you can add some foliage fertilizer.

2. Mix water and beer in a 1:1 ratio, and spray the asparagus fern leaves with a fine-meshed spray bottle, which can also achieve good results.

3. Some people say that feeding asparagus fern with sugar water can make it turn green, but sugar water is difficult for plants to absorb. Moreover, because there is less soil in the pot, if the ratio is not well controlled, it is easy to burn the roots and breed mosquitoes due to overwatering. So it’s best not to water it.

Clivia

Blooms multiple times a year

practice:

1. When repotting Clivia in autumn, put some charcoal and broken old bricks at the bottom of the pot (you can also use fried sesame seeds, sesame seeds, perilla seeds, melon seeds and other oil crops or soybean oil base, etc.) as base fertilizer, then place it in a well-lit and ventilated place, and apply a thin layer of liquid fertilizer soaked in peanut bran about once every half a month.

2. After each flower arrow blooms during the Spring Festival, July, and November, remember to apply liquid fertilizer or peanut bran, soybean cake, etc., and cut off the flower arrows that have not produced seeds.

3. Use white wine to promote flowering. Use a small wine cup, one cup at a time, once every 20 days or so, and pour it directly on the soil. This will help the non-flowering Clivia to sprout sooner.

Thick green leaves

Dip absorbent cotton or a clean soft cloth in beer, hold up the leaf with your left hand, and wipe it with your right hand, starting from the tail of the leaf (tip) upwards, first the front and then the back. After wiping, the flowers are greener and more lustrous, and the texture of the leaves appears thicker.

Cyclamen

Early flowering

practice:

1. Soak the seeds in water at about 30℃ for 3 to 4 hours, and then sow them. They will bloom about 10 days earlier than the seeds that have not been soaked.

2. Place the cyclamen in a sunny place for maintenance. When the young buds of the cyclamen appear, gently spray them with 1 mg/kg of gibberellin. Spray 1 to 3 times a day, and it can bloom more than 15 days earlier.

Bright colors

After cyclamen has been blooming for a period of time, the color of the flowers becomes lighter and lighter. This is a normal phenomenon for cyclamen. Insufficient nutrition and light can cause this phenomenon.

practice:

1. Water the flowers with purified water or boiled water that has been cooled for a day, and apply professional cyclamen fertilizer once every half a month. Remember to use professional fertilizer first, and then add some general fertilizer after you get used to it.

2. Many flower lovers cannot control the weak light, over-shading or even over-exposure to the sun. After the cyclamen blooms, pay attention to shading during the three hours from 11 to 14 o'clock every day, and place it on the balcony at other times.
