Six rules for growing flowers at home

First commandment: carelessness

Flowers, like people, are living things and need careful care. Many flower growers lack the necessary care and diligence in treating these beautiful lives.

First, they are lazy and don't like to study the knowledge of flower cultivation. They are willing to be laymen for a long time and do not manage flowers properly. The second reason is that people are lazy and don’t want to spend too much time and energy on flowers. After the flowers are brought into the house, they are often neglected and left aside, suffering from hunger and thirst for a long time, and being tortured by diseases and pests. In this way, even the most beautiful flowers will gradually wither. Therefore, lazy people cannot grow flowers well.

Second warning: love too much

In contrast to the above situation, some flower growers love flowers too much and feel itchy when they are not fiddling with them for a while. Some people water and fertilize without any regularity, watering whenever they remember, causing the flowers to die from overwatering and overfertilization; some people move the flower pots here and there at random, moving them to several places a day, forcing the flowers to frequently adapt to the environment, disrupting their normal growth patterns.

If this continues, it would be strange if the flowers are not killed. There is nothing wrong with having a few pots of pleasing flowers at home, but flowers, like people, have their own growth patterns. If you frequently disturb them when they need rest, they will naturally feel tired and will not grow well.

Third commandment: pursuit of fame and fortune

Some flower lovers believe that when growing flowers, one should grow famous flowers, because famous flowers have high ornamental value and can bring huge profits in the market. Under the influence of this mentality, they spared no expense in purchasing famous flowers and trees. The result is often that due to the lack of good maintenance conditions and management techniques, the flowers die soon after they are bought, which not only destroys the precious flowers but also wastes money. This is a conceptual misunderstanding.

The correct approach should be to start with ordinary, lower-grade varieties and gradually explore the rules and techniques of flower cultivation. After reaching a certain technical level, you can gradually purchase more expensive varieties, so that you have a greater chance of success.

Fourth Precept: Distinguishing Good from Bad

Some flower growers love to grow big and complete flowers, and they will bring home any variety they see, regardless of the variety. This not only makes management difficult, but also brings some flowers that are not suitable for growing into the home, polluting the environment and damaging health.

For example, flowers with poisonous juice can easily cause poisoning if people come into contact with them. The smell of some flowers can affect the human nervous system and can easily cause breathing difficulties or even allergic reactions. Plants with sharp thorns on their surface also pose a certain threat to safety, etc.

In short, when growing flowers at home, you should not be greedy for big and complete ones, and do not distinguish between weeds and tartar. You should choose some species that are smaller in size, beautiful in appearance, and harmless to human safety.

Five Commandments: Be loyal to Qin and Chu

Some flower growers are impatient and have no theme in their flower growing. They change the flowers in their homes like a revolving lantern. This is a big taboo in growing flowers.

First, the species are changed too quickly and the planting and breeding time is short, which is not conducive to cultivating flowers and trees with beautiful plant shapes and high ornamental value. Secondly, only trying a few types of flowers will not help improve your flower-growing skills, and you will end up being a flower blind.

Therefore, flower growers can only gain success if they choose one or two kinds of flowers and focus on studying and cultivating them.

Sixth commandment: no new ideas

New knowledge and technologies emerge in an endless stream in today's flower-growing industry, but most flower growers still stick to traditional maintenance methods. They are not good at using new technologies and equipment, such as soilless cultivation, odorless flower fertilizers, and various flower containers, in the use of flower containers, water and fertilizer management, and seedling cultivation. As a result, home flower cultivation is unhygienic, unsightly, unnovel, and has significant side effects.
