How should a novice deal with flowers purchased online?

First step processing

Flowers purchased online have been exposed to harsh living conditions for a few days on the road, and even the freshest flowers will have problems, such as leaves wilting, turning yellow, etc. This is all normal. Newbies don’t need to feel sad when they get them, nor should they immediately complain to customer service. Instead, they can just do some simple handling of these little lives. The first thing to do is to deal with rotten, yellowed leaves, as well as diseased and rotten roots. If the branches are damaged, they should be removed in time so that the plants can have a good growth foundation after being repotted. Newly bought flowers should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Place them in a cool place and water them according to the actual water shortage situation. Just wait for them to resume growing and slowly adapt to the environment.

The second step is to slow down the seedlings

The slow step is a very important part. Only after going through this step will the maintenance of flowers be much easier. Move the flowers after simple treatment into pots and place them in a cool and ventilated environment to allow them to grow slowly. At this time, be sure to water thoroughly so that there is sufficient water in the flowerpot. The flowers are still in a relatively weak state at this time, so do not apply fertilizer to avoid burning the seedlings and increase the time it takes for the plants to recover. If you find that the soil has become dry, you can water it appropriately. However, for plants that prefer drought, there is no need to water them to establish roots. Just plant them in relatively moist soil.

In addition, the time it takes to acclimate the seedlings will vary depending on the flowers you purchase and the degree of damage to the flowers. Some flowers will bloom earlier and may recover in a day or two, while others may need a month, so just be patient and don't be too impatient.

Step 3 Observation

During the seedling acclimatization period, the leaves may turn yellow or fall off. This is also a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much. The most important period is the acclimatization period, which determines whether the novices can become expert flower growers and only then can they start learning advanced flower growing skills. Different plants have different adaptation periods, and what we need to do is to do some "professional" processing after receiving the express delivery. Allow the plants to pass through the seedling period normally and adapt to the new environment as soon as possible.

When purchasing flowers, you must first understand the living characteristics of the plants you buy, mainly the light, temperature, water and fertilizer management and other conditions, so that you can prescribe the right medicine. For example, bulbous plants are afraid of waterlogging and like sunlight, so you need to water them less and give them sufficient light. In general, don't rush to prune the plants you bought online. The first priority is to let the seedlings grow slowly. The correct way is to place them in a sheltered place and take care of them normally for a few days, then change the pots after they have adapted. As long as you treat it with care, you will wait for the flowers to bloom!
