The flowers that flower scammers love to sell are either fake flowers or dead seedlings, they are all scams!

Lotus and water lily

The water lily that was very popular a while ago has attracted many flower lovers to say that it does not bloom. In all likelihood, you have bought the vegetable water lily. Look carefully at the picture below. The water lily seeds on the left are slightly smaller and fatter, while the vegetable water lily seeds on the right are larger and thinner.

The water lily can bloom if grown in a pond, but we just put it in a bucket after buying it. Even if the sun is very strong, it will only grow leaves but no flowers. No wonder flower lovers have waited for several months but it still doesn’t bloom!

Golden Branches and Jade Leaves with Red Flowers

Every time I go to the flower market, I can see a bunch of "Jade Plants" with small red flowers. In fact, Jade Plants are a variety from Africa and are difficult to grow in China. How do you grow these flowers?

If you look closely, you will find that these little red flowers are all made of paper and inserted between the leaves with iron wire. You really can’t tell them apart unless you look closely!

In addition to the above tricks, there are also people who spray the Jade Leaf with pesticides. After spraying, the leaves turn pink, which can attract attention. When you buy it home, the color slowly fades and it becomes a pot of "green vegetables" again~

Pepperwood impersonates fragrant wood

As soon as summer comes, merchants begin to tout "mosquito repellent grass", which is actually fragrant wood. However, 80% of the fragrant wood on the market is actually impersonated by pepper wood. Can you tell the difference?

The real fragrant wood has a pair of leaves at the top, not just one, and it also has a faint fragrance, which has a slight effect in repelling mosquitoes, but the pepperwood has no smell at all.

Colorful succulents have been treated with medicine

There are always some colorful succulents in succulent shops. These are called medicinal variegated plants. Huahua has specifically talked about this. They all affect the photosynthesis of succulents by spraying pesticides. After the color changes, they are very difficult to grow and have a short lifespan!

If you have already bought the variegated plant, Huahua recommends putting it in a cool place immediately, never expose it to the sun, and water it sparingly. If it can survive fading, then everything will be fine!

Strange blue Christmas cactus

Today's cultivation technology is advanced and there are more colors of flowers. Many unscrupulous merchants take advantage of this and sell some rare colors to attract you. In fact, they are all fake, such as the blue Christmas cactus below.

When Huahua saw it, there were actually people buying it. Everyone must remember that Christmas cactus now comes in red, rose red, pink, white, and orange, but there is no blue variety!

Poplar branches turn into four-season plum

The one below has a well-developed root system and bright flowers. The vendor said it can bloom all year round and is called "Four Seasons Plum".

In fact, it is made of poplar buds glued to tree roots. It cannot survive at all. The picture is also photoshopped. The elders at home are most likely to be deceived, so be careful.

Various leafless seedlings

When buying flowers, it is best to buy seedlings with leaves. If you come across leafless seedlings that are said to be roses, camellias, or bougainvilleas, they might actually be the roots of some wild trees.

Do you skip all of them?
