Experts have created a four-step flower-growing method. If you learn it, you will be a master of flower-growing.

Step 1: Choose a substrate that is both water-retaining and breathable

This is the most important prerequisite for growing flowers well. If you can achieve this step, you will be 50% successful in growing flowers. The leaf mold on the mountain, special substrate for growing flowers, and sphagnum moss are all very good substrates for growing flowers. Don’t try every possible means to find soil for growing flowers. Not only is it a waste of time, but it is also difficult to find good soil. The key is that it is difficult to grow good flowers with such soil. Buy some "water-retaining and breathable medium" to grow flowers, we have money! ! !

Step 2: Combine qualitative and quantitative watering

Don’t ever believe in the “watering method of how often” again. Not only will you not be able to grow flowers well, it will also often make you a “plant killer”. 80% of people have trouble growing flowers because of watering problems. Why? Water evaporation is the main reason why flowers need watering. Every family’s environmental conditions may be different. For example, in the same community and at the same time, some families turn on the air conditioner while others do not. The evaporation of water is completely different. If we judge whether to water the flowers according to the "time quantification standard", problems are often unavoidable.

Whether watering is needed should be "qualitatively judged" rather than judged according to "time quantitative standards". The so-called "qualitative judgment" means that you can judge whether watering is needed by observing the color changes of the flower planting substrate or the touch or wetness of the substrate with your hand. Commercial nutrient soil or sphagnum moss will turn white when lacking water. If you touch your hand and there is no sign of moisture, you should water it. The so-called "quantitative watering" is to determine the appropriate amount according to the size of the flower pot, and then water it quantitatively each time.

When growing flowers in a matrix, the relative water content of the matrix is ​​about 60%, and its moisture and air content is most suitable for plant roots. There is a simple method to judge, which can be used when planting: grab a handful of substrate and hold it tightly, and water should drip down from between your fingers instead of flowing down.

Step 3: Use the right fertilizer

Flowers and plants not only need to "drink water", but also "eat". Fertilizer is the "food" of plants. If she is not allowed to eat for a long time, she will become pale and thin due to hunger. Just like us humans, we cannot be picky eaters when it comes to food. Eating too much will cause diarrhea (excessive fertilizer will burn the seedlings). Flowers also need a balanced diet.

The best and easiest way for beginners to grow flowers is to apply "slow-release granular fertilizer". Such as "Aolvfei, Shileke" and so on. This fertilizer has balanced nutrients and uses "coating technology" to slowly release the fertilizer effect. Even if you apply a little too much, it will not burn the seedlings, at most it will be a little waste. Experienced flower growers can use complete soluble fertilizers, combined with watering the roots, or spraying them on the leaves. If you can do this step well, you are 90% successful.

The fourth step is to put it in the right place

In other words, where should you place the flowers in your home so that they can grow well? The very least you need to know is whether the flowers you grow are shade-tolerant or light-loving, and then place them according to the lighting conditions in your home. Secondly, even shade-tolerant flowers and plants need to be placed in a bright place to bask in the sun after a period of time. Placing flowers in the right place also includes their temperature requirements.

Experts tell you a simple method: In fact, the suitable environmental temperature for all organisms is similar. If you feel too hot or too cold, try to place your flowers in a place in your home where you will feel more comfortable, but be sure to avoid sudden changes in temperature in a short period of time. If you can do this step well, you are 95% of the way there. You can be called an expert in growing flowers.
