Commonly used methods of growing flowers at home, do you know a few

Home flower-growing method 1: Six methods of watering flowers

① Using leftover tea to water flowers Leftover tea can be used to water flowers, which can not only maintain soil moisture but also add nutrients such as nitrogen to plants. However, you should water the plant regularly and in moderation, depending on the humidity in the flowerpot, and not just pour in leftover tea.

② Use spoiled milk to water flowers. After the milk has gone bad, add water and use it to water the flowers, which is beneficial to the growth of the flowers. But you need more water to make it more diluted. Unfermented milk should not be used to water flowers, as it produces a lot of heat during fermentation, which can "burn" the roots (rot the roots).

③ Watering flowers with cold boiled water. Watering flowers with cold boiled water can make the leaves of flowers and trees lush and the flowers bright, and can promote their early flowering. If used to water asparagus fern, its branches and leaves can develop horizontally and grow short and dense.

④ Water the flowers with warm water. The weather is cold in winter, so it is better to use warm water to water the flowers. It is best to place the water indoors and wait until it is close to room temperature before watering. It would be better if the water temperature can reach 35℃ before watering.

⑤ Use rice water to water flowers. Regularly use rice water to water flowers such as Milan, which can make their branches and leaves lush and the flowers brightly colored.

⑥ Watering the flowers when no one is at home. If you love growing flowers, but are not at home for ten days or half a month due to visiting relatives or going out for business, there will be no one to water the flowers. At this time, you can fill a plastic bag with water, use a needle to poke a small hole in the bottom of the bag, and place it in the flowerpot. The small hole should be close to the soil, and the water will slowly seep out to moisten the soil. The size of the hole must be controlled to prevent water from leaking too quickly. Or you can place a container filled with cool water next to the flowerpot, find a wide cloth strip with good water absorption, put one end into the water in the container, and bury the other end in the soil in the flowerpot. In this way, the soil can remain moist for at least half a month, and the flowers will not wither.

Home flower cultivation method 2: two methods of fertilization

Medical stone fertilizer: Sprinkle a layer of medical stone granules in the flower pot to promote the growth of flowers and prolong the flowering period.

Crushed eggshell fertilizer: Crushing the eggshells and burying them in flower pots is a good fertilizer that can make potted flowers grow lush, with lush leaves and bright flowers.

Home flower cultivation method 3: Collect organic fertilizer for potted flowers

It is not advisable to use chemical fertilizers frequently when growing flowers at home. The main fertilizers needed for flower cultivation, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, can be collected in daily life. For example: moldy and inedible waste peanuts, beans, melon seeds, and grains are all nitrogen-containing fertilizers. After fermentation as base fertilizer or soaking into solution as topdressing, they can promote the healthy growth of flowers and trees. Fish bones, broken bones, chicken feathers, eggshells, and people's cut nails and hair are all rich in phosphorus.

Mix these waste materials into old culture soil, add some water, put them into a plastic bag and place it in a corner. After a period of composting, they can become excellent organic fertilizer. If these waste materials are soaked into a solution and then used as fertilizer, the flowers in domestic pots can be made brightly colored and bear abundant fruits.

In addition, fermented rice water, water from bean sprouts, wood ash water, rainwater and waste water from fish tanks all contain certain amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. As long as they are used in moderation, they will promote the growth and development of flowers and trees.

Home flower-growing method 4: Fruit peels can neutralize alkaline potting soil

Some flowers from the south are difficult to survive or bloom in potted plants in the north because the potting soil is too alkaline. There are many ways to neutralize alkaline soil. One method is to soak the peeled apple peels and apple cores in cold water. Frequently use this water to water the flower pots. This can gradually reduce the alkalinity of the potting soil and benefit the growth of certain plants.

Home flower care method 5: flower disease prevention

In early spring, various flowers will enter a vigorous growing season. At this time, you can spray 1% Bordeaux liquid on the leaves and the back of the leaves 1-3 times to prevent diseases. The preparation method of 1% Bordeaux mixture is: 1 gram of copper sulfate, crush it and add 50 milliliters of hot water to dissolve it; then use 1 gram of quicklime, powder it with a few drops of water, then add 50 milliliters of water and filter out the residue; pour these two solutions into the same container at the same time and stir well, and finally you will get sky blue transparent Bordeaux mixture.

Home flower-growing method 6: Two methods to kill insects and ants in flower pots

When small flying insects appear in the flowerpots, you can use three or four cotton sticks, dip them in DDT (diluted to the point where it does not drip), and then insert the handle into the potting soil around the plants, and the flying insects can be eliminated.

When ants appear in the flowerpot, soak cigarette butts and tobacco in hot water for one or two days. When the water turns dark brown, sprinkle some of the water on the flower stems and leaves, dilute the rest and pour it into the flowerpot, and the ants will be eliminated.

Home flower-keeping method 7: Three methods to keep flowers fresh

Use fire to moxibustion the cut end of the rose flower and then put it into the vase.

When you are going on a long trip, take out the fresh flowers in the vase and store them in the fruit and vegetable box of the refrigerator. They can stay fresh for a long time without withering. When you come back, take them out and put them in the vase again, and they will come alive again.

Dissolving aspirin in water can extend the flowering time of fresh flowers in bottles.

Home flower care method 8: Adjust flowering time

Put flower seeds, plant bulbs or branches for cuttings into plastic bags and put them in the refrigerator. Take them out and plant them at the appropriate time. You can adjust the flowering time at will.

Home flower-growing method 9: Frozen potted flowers revival method

During the cold spring season, potted flowers outdoors will freeze. In this case, you can quickly wrap the potted flowers and the pots with three layers of absorbent waste newspaper. Be careful not to damage the branches and leaves of the potted flowers when wrapping, and avoid direct sunlight. Leave it like this for a day to allow the temperature of the potted flowers to gradually rise. After this treatment, frozen potted flowers can be revived.

Home flower-growing method 10: Clivia summer heat relief method

In midsummer, the temperature is often above 30℃, which is extremely unfavorable for the growth of Clivia. For this reason, sheds are generally used to cool down. You can also bury the Clivia and its pot in the sand (cover the pot), and then sprinkle water on the sand once in the morning and once in the evening every day. In this way, the soil in the pot can be kept moist, and more importantly, the temperature can be reduced by absorbing heat when the water in the sand evaporates.

Home flower-growing method 11: Clivia leaf cutting and replanting method

It is better to appreciate the leaves of Clivia than its flowers, so protecting the leaves is very important. But sometimes it is inevitable that the blades will be folded or broken accidentally. After rescue, it is entirely possible to replant the broken leaves. If the leaves are only injured but not broken, just wrap them with transparent tape. If the leaves have been broken, you can first fix them with glass pieces of appropriate size, and then wrap them with transparent tape. Because both glass and transparent tape are transparent, they will not affect the photosynthesis of the leaves. But before wrapping, you must align the position of the broken leaves and wipe off the pulp on the broken leaves with absorbent cotton.

Home flower care method 12: Hydrangea turns blue

If you drive a rusty iron nail into the base of a hydrangea, the flower will turn noticeably blue.

Home gardening method 13: Cleaning the dust on plants

When many families clean the house, whether in winter or midsummer, they usually rinse the potted flowers under the faucet. This often affects the growth of the plants due to sudden changes in temperature. If it is a foliage plant, you can dip it in water and clean it one by one along the veins of the branches and leaves. Other plants can be watered with a spray bottle.

Home flower cultivation method 14: flower deodorization method

If fermented solution is used as fertilizer for indoor flowers, it will emit an unpleasant odor. If you put orange peels into the fertilizer liquid, the odor will be eliminated. At the same time, orange peel itself is also an excellent fertilizer.

Homemade flower-growing method 15: Four methods of making homemade insecticides

① Take 200 grams of green onion, chop it into pieces and soak it in 10 liters of water for a day and night. After filtering, use it to spray the affected plants several times a day for 5 consecutive days.

② 200-300 grams of garlic, mash it to extract the juice, add 10 liters of water to dilute it, and immediately use it to spray the plants.

③ Soak 400 grams of tobacco powder in 10 liters of water for two days and nights, filter out the tobacco powder, add 10 liters of water and 20-30 grams of soap powder when using, stir well and spray on the affected flowers and trees.

④ Add 10 liters of water and 3 kg of wood ash, soak for 3 days and nights, then spray the plants.

Home gardening method 16: weed eradication method

Weeds have strong reproductive capacity. The weeds in the yard have just been pulled out, but they will grow everywhere again in a few days. In this case, do not throw away the brine used to pickle duck eggs or pickles. In the season when weeds are flourishing, pour the brine on the weeds. Three or four times can curb the growth of weeds.

In addition, the water used to boil potatoes can be used to remove weeds from the yard or walkway.

Another effective way to weed is to use bleach water. The method is: sprinkle water on the ground where you want to weed, making the ground wet. After 24 hours, water it with bleach water again, and the weeds will quickly wither and die.
