When visiting the flower market during the Chinese New Year, avoid these 3 types of flowers because they cannot survive if you buy them home!

When visiting the flower market during the Chinese New Year, avoid these 3 types of flowers because they cannot survive if you buy them home!

1. The leaves are too shiny

When visiting the flower market, it is inevitable that you will see many plants with leaves that are so shiny that they can reflect light. At this time, many flower lovers will think that this is because the flower plants themselves are growing vigorously, and they are just right to be bought home for their good ornamental value. But in fact, flower plants with overly shiny leaves should not be purchased because they may have been tampered with by vendors.

There is something called brightener on the market. Many unscrupulous vendors will use it to spray the surface of plant leaves to achieve a shiny effect. But in fact, doing so is like covering the surface of the plant leaves with a thin film, which affects its breathing and growth. Naturally, you will not be able to keep it alive if you buy it home.

2. The rhizome is not stable

When we buy flowers in the flower market, we should pay attention to the roots of the potted plants, because the flowers you bought at a high price may have already had root rot. In many cases, people in the flower market will sell flowers with rotten roots. In this case, we are required to check the stability of the rhizomes when we buy them. If the rhizomes fall to the ground after a few touches, we should not buy the flower plant, as it is very likely that the roots at the bottom of the pot have rotted.

3. The flower pot is too light

When buying flowers, many people have the habit of picking them up and weighing them. This is indeed a necessary step, because vendors on the market may stuff some foam board inside the flowerpot instead of soil to reduce the cost price. At this time, the quality of flower pots filled with foam boards is generally lighter. After all, the weight of the soil that actually fills the pot is not low. If we buy flowers stuffed with foam boards home and do not change the pots in time, it will definitely affect their growth.
